Those poor children in Chad

How utterly awful for them to be taken away from their families with all those promises, only to be entirely let down.

(BBC News at 10pm)

really and about this. I can't believe that people can engage in such staggeringly ill-conceived behaviour.

Seeing those children crying because a shipment came in and there wasnt enough to go around just broke my heart.

What's happened ( I missed the news)?

A french charity lured (I think is the best word to describe it) children away from their families with promises of a better life, sweets (ffs!), education and toys etc.

They couldnt follow through AT ALL. These children are in limbo in a huge camp-type set up waiting for help.

Some families have come back to try and get their children back.

oh god, I didn't realise that the children were stuck iyswim, thought that they had been returned to their families.

That's terrible ppor children. Is there anything we can do to help i.e. donate - are any Brit charities stepping into assist?

a bit on it here

Nothing, I dont think. The families just need re-uniting with their children.

Three cheers for the 'civilised' western world
