The article should read questioned under suspicion, for an hour and then released but that doesn’t get the same amount of clicks or publicity for the NGO involved.
The children were not rescued, they went with me to the police station, left with me and returned to the same guesthouse.
The staff at the Long Lin know me, the children and their family members as we have stayed there on numerous trips over the years.
If you look at the picture I hardly booked a three double bedded room for myself we had been there for the previous 3 days, and were on our way to a snorkelling trip in Sihanoukville.
I tried commenting on the Facebook post but it was promptly deleted, if your really interested, some of the Long Lin staff have shared the post and commented on how it is ruining the reputation of others just for money.
I respect what NGO`s do but they really need to investigate before they send the cavalry in which was about 12 people and ruin everyone’s holiday
The police were really nice respectful, and fed the kids with cola and food till they could burst so despite everything at least they were professional and were not heavy handed.
Anyway out of respect for my friends in Phnom Penh, the staff in Long Lin the Kids and anyone else who has read this it was a storm in a tea cup.
No reputable media sources reported on it, someone sold a bullshit story, pictures and information to the media when the truth was readily available.
