The thousands killed in the Philippines' ongoing war on drugs include children, as well as parents whose children are now orphaned. Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte has called those children "collateral damage" in his war.

Critics decry the violence, but supporters of the current Philippine leadership say it's necessary to rid the country of drug-related crimes, some of which have victimized children. Lawmakers are also considering a proposal to lower the age of criminal responsibility to nine years old.
