Hundreds of similar kids coming across the American borders each month. It’s a horrible thing. Feel bad for Farah.

A man tells his story of how he was tested as a modern day child slave and people on this board make crass jokes about it. Some of you really are the worst

While it's *possible*, the articles says that because he was trafficked the fault is not his. Plus, he's kind of a big deal. Zero chance it will happen.

Impressively dispassionate. The news story has nothing to do with what you're claiming as a motive - comments of this nature lower my opinion on humanity. Luckily others, in person and not hiding behind the veil of the internet, usually make up for this.

Your bitter misplaced rage disgusts me.
I'm no fan of Mo Farah, the runner, but a fan of him as a human.

It's possible you could be stripped of your British underwear and paraded through the maddening crowds of Mogadishu with a placard around your neck saying racist **** Coevett from letsrun.com
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.

He has 10 World/Olympic golds and 2 silvers. He will never be insignificant in this sport.

This is the definition of trafficked. Look it up.

You have no idea what you're saying. The traffickers don't care if people die during their journey as so many have.
Are you calling Mo a liar?
Does making my kids clean their rooms constitute trafficking?
