The Child Rescue Con

A Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ 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 Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ 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 Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ has found that unsuspecting children are being used as props, and the rescue centres have no children. Project Rescue Children rejects the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ's findings and says its work has benefitted hundreds of children worldwide.
