The Child Rescue Con

Charity claims to save children from trafficking and abuse but the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ has found that unsuspecting children are being used as props and the rescue centres have no children.

Project Rescue Children claims to save children from trafficking and abuse, but the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ 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 Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ has found that unsuspecting children are being used as props, and the rescue centres have no children. Project Rescue Children rejects the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's findings and says its work has benefitted hundreds of children worldwide.
