1) Child soldiers fighting civil wars (some of whom, like North Koreans, have resorted to cannibalism).
2) Children who've contracted AIDS from sexual abuse because men seek out virgins thinking they'll cure AIDS.
3) Children whose genitals are mutilated out of custom.
4) Children who are starving, orphaned and homeless.
5) Children for whom abuse is a way of life
and, in the Congo:
6) Children who are forced to confess to witchcraft by Pentecostal faith-healers that believe Harry Potter is real.

North Korea is pretty much falling apart for the same reason most of the Eastern Bloc fell apart: They utilized their industry for defense rather than basic human needs.
