If so, what about the rest of the family unit? They are expendible?

I have read that there are a lot of young boys that have been sold into slavery in Sudan. And I read that their families often times were the ones that sold them. I cannot say if these boys being brought here by the "dogooders" (your words) are slaves with no family ties anymore, but they might be.

Are you saying that these guys are the ones who have been sold into slavery?
