The child rescue con
Project Rescue Children claims to save children from trafficking and abuse. A 大象传媒 investigation finds that some children are used as props and the rescue centres have no children.
Project Rescue Children claims to save children from trafficking and abuse across the world, 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. But the 大象传媒鈥檚 Hayley Mortimer 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.
