Use of children as helpers
May 14 2010, 5:51 PM EDT | Post edited: May 14 2010, 5:51 PM EDT
Another advantage of children is sypmphy. Your a survivor, you see another well of group (vehicles, guns and food and water). They dont want you as they dont want to get overcrowded and the supplies gone in 60 seconds, but then they see your 10 yr old son, they decied that the will have the kid and you since its unfair to split parents and kids up. Your saved because of your 10 yr old boy. Thats why its good to have children with you. And if your a raider you can use them as decoys to attacked a group. 2  out of 2 found this valuable.

Because everyone loves kids and puts them ahead, and would love to have them. Matter of fact, lets all use kids to get into large groups, because it will be a 100% successful tactic.
But, my grumpiness and sarcasm aside, Most large and succesful groups of survivors will have learned to haren their hearts by now(not all) and thus your tactic will only work sometimes...
in any case, i doubt the rest of your group will abide with children as decoys. Raiders arent automatically evil heartless beings, and while hardened, will not wish to put an 8 year old or 10 year old child in harms way like that. raiders are people too, after all. Do you find this valuable?

The type of raider who use children as decoys are ussually the kind that abuse children and probbibly wouldnt be put of raiding your group because you got a knife to his kids throat.

Im not stereotyping all raiders just saying that the raiders who would use children as decoys would be the evil heartless ones (since there are good raiders) who wouldn't care if you killed the child if it means they get to raid you, which was pointed out by Demonica 13, "but wont the camp getting raided grab the kid by the throat and kill him/her if the raiders dont stop." 2  out of 2 found this valuable.

What if they don't know the kid was a decoy? If the kid is secretly passing info, by left notes and such, he may get through without being noticed. After the raiders largest raid, they can grab the kid, since he is theirs and run. Truthfully, if I were in a group, I'd volunteer to be the kid used as a decoy. But then again, I'm thirteen know, people might not be so kind to someone old enough to tell right from left. Do you find this valuable?

Why would they kill him/her? If they have no clue the kid is a member of the raiders, defending the kid may even be a priority of theirs. As he is "the next generation" of survivors. Do you find this valuable?

W is tired of people asserting that raiders are brainless, thoughtless emotionless killers.

Me too. If I had to, I'd turn into a raider. And I'm FAR from brainless. Do you find this valuable?
