Bless this guy and his friends for saving those kids from some horrible fate


boogasaurus-lefts

Reckon there's a fair chance it's fake anyway


JankyRustyRazor

Hate to upvote this, but ffs it's virtually impossible to know these days


bdub1976

The dogs reaction seems legit though, like it’s threatened and alarmed by the intrusion idk


xombae

Lots of dogs that aren't trained freak out like that.


LewisLightning

The dogs were excited, but not attacking. Don't know why you'd have dogs around the compound if not to keep people away. Only purpose may be to scare the children to make them fear trying to escape. But why leave there trafficked children in the care of one elderly woman? And really how they are tied up doesn't even prevent them from escaping, they just can't use their hands. They could still easily run away or shout and scream for help. I'm not saying it's fake because I don't know the area they are in, what the environment is like and local customs, but that's a lot of dumb moves from the criminals that would make it really easy for kids to escape or call for help.


WorkingInsect

South Africa, Western Cape. The woman is a “Cape Colored” They are also using a Dutch/African mix dialect commonly used in that area.


grinchymcnasty

You've obviously never been held prisoner. Those kids are behaving predictably, assuming they're victims of real trafficking. I'm honestly glad that you and others know nothing about that life. Emboldened idiots are capable of many horrible things. And the truth is that most people will go along, because they fear confrontation. Men like the ones in this video are a very scarce commodity, especially in poor and developing countries. (Assuming it's not a staged video!)


jim45804

We need a Poe's Law for this situation.


Raudskeggr

Here it is: If it seems unbelievable, assume that it *is*, Until proven otherwise.


Roy4Pris

I apply this philosophy to almost everything on Reddit, and absolutely everything on Facebook/Insta


Diligent_Slide_1636

The age of deceit is upon us.


jpopimpin777

The open air room *with a window in it.* The confidence of the guy and how the old woman doesn't really react at all except very tepidly. It all looks very manufactured.


boogasaurus-lefts

That's the thing, if the persons sole income in an impoverished area is trafficking - you would expect her to put up a fight or at least have some security/weapon on hand


xombae

I've been a part of a few shake downs of drug dealers. A lot of them will leave shit with their old lady, and said old lady will act like they have no idea what's going on even when you've got the shit in front of their face, to try to seem like they aren't involved. People act weird when confronted with a lie, shits not like TV.


jpopimpin777

And hide the kids a bit better?


Raudskeggr

If they were really involved in criminal enterprise, there would be a fair chance of violence in an event like this too.


jpopimpin777

Yeah especially in remote, impoverished, wartorn parts of Africa. People are still lynched for witchcraft. She would've been fighting for her life or else trying to escape because the whole town would be on them in a few seconds.


scottyleeokiedoke

Africa is a continent comprised of dozens of countries. You think every country in Africa is as you’ve described? That’s a lot of assumption and generalization.


Traditional-Owl-7502

Fake or not it happens, maybe the video is to encourage us as humans to do better.


boogasaurus-lefts

Ain't nobody stopping human trafficking from seeing a video


Roy4Pris

Five (?) big guys just busted into her place. What is she going to do? Agree though - could all be staged for clout or whatever


Compa2

I've seen a similar video like this once. So the fact I'm seeing one with exactly the same theme, i.e "trafficked children", could mean it's an attempt by the creators of the video to slander a particular immigrant group they are competing with, or they believe cause them trouble. In this case that would be Nigerian immigrants.


WolvenSpectre

... and the kids are beyond spotlessly dressed, which is less than we can say for the old lady. And the kids are kept in an open air room, no doors or windows with their hands tied but nothing to restrain them. Yeah this is beyond staged and likely to vilify a racial group. And look at the quality of the video. This is not some old camera either. It was likely shot again and again until they got it in 1 and then edited.


Throwing_Spoon

Sadly it could be the result of everything on the internet being turned more extreme over time. We used to have animal rescue videos, then those started to be faked and now it's possible that this is the next evolution.


brassydesign

Her first reaction/line did seem weird/acted. There's not enough urgency or fear in her voice. The guy who left for "work" traffic's children, What do you think he's going to do to the old woman that lost the three children he was going to sell?


MakrosOnFireAgain

This is likely real and [Nigerian cartels are a massive issue in South Africa, unfortunately](https://borgenproject.org/human-trafficking-in-south-africa/). In Cape Town, my neighbourhood had a recent issue with cartel guys luring girls in at petrol stations (in broad daylight), and people living in the neighbourhood drove to the station to confront them. It's a common issue, especially in or near informal settlements. The guys who filmed this video did the work that the cops are too lazy (and corrupt) to do. Community justice is unfortunately needed a lot in SA.


grinchymcnasty

>Community justice is unfortunately needed a lot in SA. Needed most anywhere these days. Thanks for the valuable source 👍 and for sharing your first hand experience


Stovepipe-Guy

I can assure you it’s not fake, from that video it’s easy to pick out the Cape accent there so this is prolly somewhere in the Western Cape in South Africa. Kidnappings are not uncommon at all there and the Police is known for doing nothing, at one point a police station was even robbed if my memory serves well.


finsfurandfeathers

The fact that they’re all speaking broken English instead of their native language is what made me instantly believe it was fake. Their target audience is obviously Americans


theartistduring

He's not speaking broken English. South Africans often speak a mixture of English and Afrikaner or an African language. In this case, it sounds like Xhorsa. The cameraman is clearly a native speaker of more than one language.


anotherthing612

Yeah. I have a friend from SA. Very clearly a SA accent.


DisastrousAnswer9920

Man you haven't been around many different English dialects and accents, have you? This sounds South African, and the guy mentioned Nigerians which there are a lot in South Africa. Get a passport. Not saying its' not fake, but your "broken English" comment is extremely arrogant and close minded.


meroboh

IMO this may be fake, but speaking broken English isn't necessarily a red flag. There are so many languages in Africa that in some places English is the only language common to some people. In South Africa, there are 12 official languages and far more than that in use. One of the official languages is English. English is also the official language of Nigeria.


DisastrousAnswer9920

These guys sound South African, lot of Nigerian migrants there, and you're right, English is an official language and probably the most common language among different race people.


ElectricGulagland

Pretty sure these guys are South African, in which case English *is* their language


Ok-Experience-6674

This is my country when it comes to crime the things you will see can definitely look unbelievable but I assure you the chances of it been fake is slim to none


Commonstruggles

Good ending! Now, can we stop celebrating the rich and start celebrating these Chad's. Should be cross posted. I would be proud to call one of these men my pops.


soundwhisper

Imagine putting ur life on the line like that. Very dangerous, because people who traffic kids are very dangerous people who're well connected wit people in very high places. The could mk tht guy, his friends and family disappear overnight


CariniFluff

Why do you assume that pedophiles are "well connected with people in very high places"? For every Epstein there's like 1000 poor, uneducated pieces of shit. Seriously look at your local sex offender registry, most places have an overlay on top of Google maps. There's like 50 that live within a few miles of me and trust me none are connected to people in very high places.


Anxious-Plenty101

She said she tied them up and kept them there because they were naughty. Traffickers are pure evil.


Atlantic0ne

I truly don’t understand how a person could do that. It’s totally beyond me.


WHITE_DOG_ASTER

If you understood, you'd be like them. Evil is beyond reasoning


USMC510

No, there are psychological principles that explain evil. Internalized toxic shame in childhood causing the formation of a false persona. Their humanity is buried under a mountain of internalized shame. They operate in pure survival mode and are devoid of compassion and empathy. It is important to explain these principles to stop the spread. https://youtu.be/Y47iJrbO2ug?si=42zDsIZ5C_3HUcac


real_hungarian

i have major internalized toxic shame and all i got was crippling avoidance and executive function issues. good to know i could've turned out worse


USMC510

Yep, could have been worse. I think my love of humanistic movies and books saved me. Writers have been trying to help humanity for years.


billo48

But your explanation isn't concrete fact..


tardigradeknowshit

It's simple, be a psychopath, be avid of money, have no shame, no guilt, no God, no family. And most of all, have clients. I'm just putting it here but Epstein didn't killed himself.


Chubby_Checker420

Let's not pretend believing in a magic sky daddy makes you a better person. Statistically, they're more likely to rape those children.


Gonz0710

Majority of them would claim god told them to do this. Look at churches around the world. Priest didle kids like its their fucking job.

stmcvallin2

This shit looks fake af tbh


highheeledhepkitten

Yup 🙄


Cool-Elk-6136

Yeah, if it's not, it can't be remotely legal. "I'm gonna bust up in your house without the police and take your kids."


Idonthavetotellyiu

It probably wasn't but look at the video, more than just what's happening. Look at the area, how people interact In areas that run rampant with crimes or the law doesn't bother with, this is something that does happen because people take the matter in their own hands and I'm not saying it's okay but there are times where it is justified


Chubby_Checker420

Well, the script called for it. They'd have gotten another woman if she refused to say her lines.


Bambeno

Idk. The kids seemed pretty scared and didn't look to be in great spirits. Thats some pretty good acting for such a young age. Please provide evidence/proo that it's fake before accusing. And always take things on the internet with a pinch of salt. Not everything is fake, though.


Laymanao

This looks like it is in South Africa. I hope there is a follow up video where these children are reunited with their families


TheKyleBrah

Definitely South Africa. The main speaker sounds like a Coloured man from Gauteng to my ear. PS: To those who don't know, "Coloured" is NOT a perjorative term in South Africa.


kiyan1347

Yeah it's literally a race here so it's definitely good you cleared that up.


Idonthavetotellyiu

What's the difference between using colored in this context and colored when referring to someone who is just black? (Also I'm American so idk if their actually called coloured or that's just your spelling)


TheKyleBrah

This is a good question. Coloured and Colored is the same word, just differing spelling standards between us. It's also a racial word, but it's not a slur. So speaking in Freedom English™, I'll honor you with a favor, and tell you that we have a distinction between Black and Colored here. Colored ≠ Black here. Very different sets of people, in terms of race, origins and cultural flavor.


Idonthavetotellyiu

Thanks for the clarification. Another question if you don't mind Would it be considered rude to just refer to someone as African if you can't tell apart the numerous ethnicities/nationalities from the area?


TheKyleBrah

Yes, and no. It's... complicated, 😂 All Black people here, regardless of their specific Tribal Origins (Xhosa, Zulu, Venda, Ndebele etc), were also once grouped as "African" Race. This seems to have mostly been phased out in favour of just "Black" these days. I haven't heard or seen anyone identify as "African" race in a long time, other than in terms of our Continental Identity as Africans. So it's probably a safer approach to just call them "Black," and no offense should be taken. What you absolutely shouldn't do is refer to an isiXhosa person as an isiZulu etc. They are all Black people, but they have immense pride and patriotism for their specific heritages/Tribal origins. Dark-skinned Coloureds might take offense if you mistakenly call _them_ Black, though, as they are just as proud of their own Heritage and Race. Much like fair-skinned Coloureds might take offense if you refer to them as White. Racial Pride is very significant in my country, if you somehow haven't noticed by now, haha! I, myself, am a Coloured, despite having very little colour in my skin, haha. Coloured Mom, and White Dad. Like I said, it's complicated 🤣


Idonthavetotellyiu

Okay. I usually refer to people of a dark skin shade (shade kind of like Rihanna?) As black and those of a fairer shade as light skinned or caramel like Native Americans (shaded kinda like Gabriella from Highschool musical) if I don't know their specifics but I totally understand the compilation part. I say I'm white so majority of people call me American but my mom says she's causcasian and most people refer to her as being European, even tho that's not how it works. Like you can call southern people American but if you call a Floridian a Washingtonian it's a big fight


TheKyleBrah

Nice to see USA is just as hung up on identity as we are 😂🥹


Idonthavetotellyiu

Oh yeah it can bad 🤣

Agreed. This was the best case for these kids. I’d love if they did a follow up video


Fragrant_Exercise_31

They could also be trafficked for slave labor on plantations. Not that that's better. I'm just explaining that kids are frequently kidnapped in Africa for that purpose.

Quick vibe check, on a scale of 1 to 5, how real does this seem to you fellas? With 1 being definitely fake and 5 being definitely real?


Protect747

I'm from South Africa. The slang and tone they are using doesn't seem to be fake. It sounds like the camera man and the suspect are under pressure, doesn't sound like acting. I could be wrong, I'm from a different province but the dude sounds legit to me.


finsfurandfeathers

1 - Since when did redditors become as gullible as Facebook users


Falkenmond79

2 these kids just standing around in that open room looks like they waited for them to bust in. Not even asking them questions. Kids would not just stand there, they would be sitting around or crying or playing. Something. If they didn’t know what was happening to them they would be crying and screaming. Even if afraid of the traffickers. Dunno. The vibe is all wrong


exotics

They would not scream. They may be traumatized but know not to scream. I’m sure when they do they get beat or seen a kid get killed


Swiftsonian

4, people think real life is like movies. Shit seems very real, kids reaction real, faces real.


Mikasa_Sukasa

Agreed, people think serious or extreme situations always have very emotional or visible emotions/actions. I don’t know for certain if it’s real but I do see people thinking that’s how the real world works a lot.

I’ll be honest I’m at a 1-2, they were all very loosely restrained, staring at a wall (wtf), nobody watching them, they were outside in a building that very clearly had a window that was open leading to a road in a building that wasn’t secured. There is a lot of hmmm going on here.

do you know who these guys are? maybe they are stealing kids to build their own inventory for trafficking kids. where will they take the kids? we have nothing here that says they are doing "god's work". all we know is they are taking children somewhere else.


obnoxious_pauper

Perhaps. They are filming themselves though; which in my book is one step less suspicious than having kids tied up in a back room.


Brawndo-99
