Crack epidemic in Brazil

In this photo taken Dec. 21, 2012, former soldier Bobo leans against a wall after smoking crack in his home at a slum in western Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. With a boom in crack use over the past decade, Brazilian authorities are struggling to help such users and stop the drug's spread, sparking a debate over the legality and efficiency of forcibly interning users. Human rights organizations in Rio oppose the forced commitment of children by the crews, saying the raids are violent and treatment delivered against the will of patients is ineffective.
