About Us

This blog is maintained by a group of Western expats and local Khmer to express our concerns about the modern day Child Protection Industry in Cambodia and NGO’s like APLE (Action pour les Enfants) in particular.

Vision

We believe that the western world has a wrong impression of some aspects of Cambodian culture and society. This misperception causes problems where organizations like APLE Cambodia profit from.

Organizations such as APLE like to present Cambodia still as an extremely poor country with ignorant people that rather look the way when it comes to child abuse; a Paradise for Pedophiles! This is absolutely not true, but organizations such as APLE Cambodia like western sponsors to believe this, only to get more funding.

APLE Cambodia relies for 100% on funding from western sponsors. They can only justify their existence and presence in the country by catching foreigners and present most exaggerated stories in the media.

Mission

Our goal is to expose APLE’s true intensions by showing the world that ‘Child Protectors’ like APLE are not trusted or appreciated by the local Khmer community at all.

As our group consists out of both Westerners and Khmer, we’re able to investigate cases that APLE works on ourselves by gathering our own information.

We follow all of APLE’s publications in the media and will post all proof of inconsistence, deceit and manipulation on internet.

Tips & Info Welcome

Do you know something about APLE yourself? We welcome all information about APLE.
