Interesting article. Wonder what will happen to the woman that brought him here, as she's known.
Edit: because spelling.

I watched this last night - it was very good.
There's no doubt he's the victim in all of this. Separated from his twin brother at 9 to come to a strange place into essentially slavery. No contact back home or with relatives here.
The school too probably knew what they were doing was a bit suspect but I believe they did what they did in good faith to help a vulnerable kid. It probably didn't seem as "iffy" when social services were involved, knew who he was, his circumstances, his real name etc. But again, I'd say Mo was probably oblivious to all this.

It was a decent watch. THey glossed over a fairly significant aspect right at the end there though as to who the other Mo Farah is or was. His PE teacher was the one that told him he'd taught a Mo Farah the year before that disappeared. The Mo he spoke to and his "foster" mum denied he'd ever been in the UK.
So either they're lying and are complicit in something bigger (she was keen to express her lack of any knowledge about what had happened to him) or there was another Mo Farah that they're not telling anyone about...

I think plod are investigating this - sounds like they had cottage industry in bringing "Mo Farah's" to the UK. Perhaps sell them on and go back and bring another.
The "Aunt's", the one's who brought him here have a lot of questions to answer
