Eight Cambodian children, all girls, were repatriated yesterday from Thailand, where they had allegedly been sent earlier this year to be beggars by their parents.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Chum Sonry said the Cambodian Embassy in Thailand worked with the Thai Ministry of Social Development and Human Security, which rescued the children, ages 7 to 13.

“They were sent to be beggars in Thailand by their parents. Now they are safe and repatriated in Poipet town,” he said. Sonry appealed on behalf of the ministry to parents with small children to not traffic them to be beggars abroad.
