The Child Rescue Con

A 大象传媒 investigation exposes a charity's director who uses African children as props to raise thousands of pounds on social media.

Project Rescue Children claims to save children from trafficking and abuse, but the 大象传媒 has uncovered evidence of false and misleading social media posts. The charity's director, Adam Whittington, has raised thousands of pounds from sponsors and donors around the world. But the 大象传媒 has found that unsuspecting children are being used as props, and the rescue centres have no children. Project Rescue Children rejects the 大象传媒's findings and says its work has benefitted hundreds of children worldwide.
