If Mo Farah doesn't tell the truth about his doorbell, how can anyone believe his wild claims about being trafficked as a child? There's basically no verifiable facts about his wild claims.
People on this board think being asked to wear a mask is a human rights violation and scream about freedom, but a child being trafficked, forced to work, denied education, left “unkempt and uncared for,” is nothing.
I don't know all the details, but if it's true he was sent off and trafficked like that, he made the best out of a very tough situation. While it's possible his parents sent him away with the intention for him "to have a better life," that's still a very tough thing to have to go through, being away from all of your family for your entire upbringing.
Was she trafficked as a child and her teachers noticed she looked neglected and abused and wasn’t socialized correctly? And then confided in her track coach? Who then reported to social services? Who then investigated the home and removed her? And then BBC examined the documents and confirmed they were legitimate?
I believe Houlihan had a medical condition as a child that caused her to have her spleen removed. That has nothing to do with testing positive for drugs. Similarly, Mu’s childhood experiences have nothing to do with your suspicious about his drug use.
Do you think it’s ok for kids to be abused because of your feelings about adult distance racing? You sound psycho.
It's possible he could be stripped of his British citizenship as it was obtained through fraud. In which case, Crammy gets his rightful GB 1500m record back.
"In the documentary, Farah admits to being worried about his immigration status. However, the Home Office confirmed on Monday night that he would not face any repercussions. “No action whatsoever will be taken against Sir Mo and to suggest otherwise is wrong,” a spokesperson said."
Trafficked? His parents paid somebody $500 to get him to Europe for a better life. This is ridiculous. That term insinuates that somebody stole him from his home and sold him into slavery. He knows his parents and his family.
Exactly right. Does anyone believe he was trafficked to live with his aunt and uncle by his own grandmother and mother. What about his twin brother, Hassan. If Mobot claims his real name is Hussein Abdi Kahin, then is his twin is also living a lie?
Growing up, my parents subjected me to servitude. Clean my room. Take out the trash. Rake the leaves. Clean to garage. Wash the dishes. Endless chores.

You're on an anonymous message board FFS.
Me thinks you're over reacting and being melodramatic, let it go and it will.

There was a civil war in Somalia at the time. Many young men were kidnapped and dragged into the war. Hussien is luck to have been shipped out.

What if you had to do all of that for another family, as a small child, in a country where you didn't speak the language, weren't allowed to go to school and were essentially neglected, and then removed from the situation by social services? Brought to a different country by someone you didn't know? There is a high barrier for removal BTW.
To compare that with chores is sickening. Everyone pretty much had to do chores growing up. It's not comparable.

His aunt and uncle were his family. You he have preferred staying home and risking being kidnapped and turn into a front line, boy soldier? If he wasn't allowed to go to school how did manage to run for his team? His then coach said about him, "He had some issues with anger management and getting into fights when he was younger, which was as much to do with not being able to communicate as anything."
Alan Watkinson, who is trying to improve sporting opportunities for young people in west London, says the double Olympic champion had "anger management issues" when they first met

The article is not clear about all the details. He wasn’t living with his parents and travelled to Britain with a person whom he didn’t know and to whom he wasn’t related. Told he was to be living with relatives in Britain, he was actually forced into servitude, denied proper care and schooling, all at the age of nine or ten. It doesn’t matter that he knows his parents and his family—he was in fact stolen and forced into slavery. There are most likely many, many children who different the same fate with much worse outcomes. But go ahead and dismiss their stories, since you are apparently some expert.
