loss of earning potential; (d) Moral damage; (e) Costs required for legal or expert assistance, medicine and medical services, and psychological and social services (United Nations, 2005). The Philippines’ experience is closely similar with Nigeria, Mexico, Brazil and the United States. In Nigeria, those who were victims of EJK came from the poor. Fear also drives the families whose member were killed by summary execution attributed to the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) due to alleged involvement in petty crimes (Amnesty International, 2009). Those who tried to investigate the death of their loved ones were stigmatized in the community, threatened, harassed and even arrested by the police officers. “Most families cannot pay a lawyer, the court fees or a percentage of the damages requested. Poor families undergo another level of victimization when claiming the body of their loved ones. Cases such as demanding payment from the family by the police to release the body, accepts bribe as an assurance that the body is not dumped in a mass grave, or letting the body linger in the mortuary for more than a year are commen cases (Amnesty International, 2009). In Mexico, the school grounds were not exempted from the constant battles between drug cartels and the military (Barra & Joloy, 2011). In addition, the government implemented Program Mochila Segura (Safe schoolbag), which violated the right to freedom and privacy of children. (Barra & Joloy, 2011). Both occasions have caused fear among students and have greatly contributed to the high absenteeism among them. In Morro de Alemao, Brazil, police were “publicly denounced for searching under young girls’ skirts” after a confrontation with the police and drug traffickers in 2007 (Gueraldi, 2011). Still, subsequent police searches of children’s school bags continued throughout the country exempting only children under the age of 12. In 2004, the No Child Left Behind Act was implemented in the US. Federal funds were used for school-based drug testing. One of the consequences of mandatory drug testing is the “labelling” of young people as drug users, which may “likely reduce their confidence, confidence, happiness, self-esteem at school as well as to lower aspirations, and thus may lead to escalating drug use… suspension or school exclusion” (Fletcher, 2011).
