Sir Mo Farah, elite athlete, was a trafficked child

Post Reply New Topic

News has emerged that Sir Mo Farah's life story was made up by him to cover the horrific details of his kidnap and trafficking as a young child.

It has brought it home clearly to me that stories like this is why we must be aware of modern day slavery and do our best to stop it. I worked with very disadvantaged children a long time ago, I wonder looking back, if some of them were trafficked.

'Sir Mo says he wants to tell his story to challenge public perceptions of trafficking and slavery.
"I had no idea there was so many people who are going through exactly the same thing that I did. It just shows how lucky I was," he says.'

This story contains terrifying and highly emotive details, please be warned:

I saw something about it the other day. Sadly it won't be easy to convince everyone about the seriousness of the problem.

Case in point, my mum's bald english boyfriend upon seeing Mo Farah talk about this on TV:
"So you're a f-ing liar then!"

Brought to you by the man who responded with an english black activist talking about racism on TV with "Shut up, as far as I'm concerned you're not even british"

Myself as an almost normal person with the slightest amount of decency in their being I think it's a pretty horrible story, especially when you consider it probably happens a lot more than anyone is aware of.

They used to call it “white slavery” for a good reason.

Prostitution trafficking was called white slavery regardless of the race of the “employee.”
