Quote:
"The two adults were no longer alive...being so light, the child was still alive....For more than half an hour he stayed ther, struggling between life and death, dying in slow agony under our eyes. And we had to look him full in the face. He was still alive when I passed in front of him. His tongue was still red, his eyes were not yet glazed."

The saddest thing to see it to watch a child getting hung because they are so light, that the rope doesn't pull hard enought to kill them right after they are dropped. They have to die slowly and painfully. A child is so innocent, and they shouldn't have to go through that torture. Humans have very unjust punishments for crimes that aren't even that bad. They just do it to show their power over everyone.
