FORCED TO BEG: Tanzania's Trafficked Kids - BBC Africa Eye documentary
Impoverished families in Tanzania are being tricked into giving up their disabled children by human traffickers. Promised a better life, the children are instead smuggled into Kenya and forced to beg, often for years.
Africa Eye goes undercover to expose the traffickers trading in human misery and helps one young victim escape his captors.
