Heard on some news report a few days ago that these underage children sold into slavery all over the world including in Mexico rarely live longer than a year. Some do, most do not. Due to abuse, neglect, illness, overwork, elements, or a hundred other things. You can die from a toothache or a fever if it is completely untreated.
The thesis was that since these girls/boys are purchased so cheaply, they are considered more pets than people. If they die, you can always buy another one for less than it would cost to feed and care for them. Especially any medical expense.
And American Black people still shout in the streets that only Blacks have ever been slaves, and only America ever had slavery. This is a kind of myopic insanity. Slavery has been around since the beginning of man. All races have been slaves at one time or another. And slavery is alive and well still flourishing today worldwide.
