    I think historically buying slaves in order to free them has been a legitimate way of freeing slaves.

    If he was charged with kidnapping by buying them, would the same thing have happened if he just took them? Would it have been murder AND kidnapping if he had shot the traffickers and taken the kids?

    Here’s another way to look at it -

    WERE THE CHILDREN STILL GETTING FUCKED? OR DID THEY GO HOME?

      Well, there’s a question. Are the kids being fucked? Not sure there’s much of a paper trail. Where are these kids now?

      And let’s be clear, they were giving child slavers money in exchange for slaves. They got paid to sell slaves, and we’re allowed to continue selling slaves. They are still active now. And this organisation is still presumably giving them money in exchange for child slaves.

      The guy is probably straight up reselling kids into abusive situations.
