I don't think that any thoughtful person can deny the existence of child smuggling....it's frequently in the news and is a recognized international problem affecting many countries.
That being said, it seems that in this specific instance there are serious irregularities in the journalistic integrity of the story. Just because child smuggling exists doesn't mean that all accounts of it are true, and the BBC has garnered a reputation for fabrication, particularly recently.
It’s going to be hard for the BBC to ask for more TV licence money....:^)
IIRC, about $300 per household to just own a TV... sheesh!
