#BBCEye uncovers how Syria's Assad regime used a global childcare charity to aid the disappearance of hundreds of children. Click here to subscribe to our channel 👉🏽 https://bbc.in/3VyyriM BBC Eye Investigations follows the journey of Reem al-Kari to find her son Karim Turjman - one of 3,700 children who went missing during Syria’s civil war from 2011 to 2024. During her search for her child, she finds out how hundreds of children were held in orphanages by the regime in order to extort their relatives, and why many have never been found. The scale of one of one global childcare charity’s involvement in the disappearance of children of political detainees under the EU-sanctioned Assad regime in Syria is revealed through Reem’s search. These orphanages were supported by global donations but used as prisons by the sanctioned Assad regime. The film also reveals how little the current government is doing to support parents like her trying to find and reunite families. Syria’s Stolen Children is part of a joint project with Lighthouse Reports, The Observer, SIRAJ, Der Spiegel, Trouw, and Women Who Won the War. SOS Children’s Villages International admit that they have lost track of at least 104 children placed with them and have launched an investigation to find out what happened. The Ministry of Social Affairs and Labour decided not to respond to our team’s request for comment. The Assad family did not respond to our request to comment. 00:00 Introduction 01:20 Life under the Assad regime: Missing children, broken families 03:45 'We only wanted freedom, to see some improvements.' 05:19 Cost of resistance: 'I had no idea they'd target our women and children' 06:32 Security services track their targets on Facebook 08:25 "We're going to take your kids" 10:50 BBC verifies documents to confirm the number of children taken 11:08 Identity changes keep families separated 12:48 Systemically holding children in orphanages to be used as bargaining chips 14:20 The scale of involvement by SOS Children's Villages Syria 17:04 Damascus 2024: A collapsed regime - a chance for families to reunite? 17:37 Searching for Karim 18:57 Lahan Al Hayat: disorganised, falsified and missing paperwork 23:49 What is the Ministry of Social Affairs doing to help? 26:04 Families almost reunite in prisoner exchange 29:05 “Baby thieves” 32:03 Role of SOS Children’s Villages International, Vienna 40:36 "My dream is to hold them in my arms" 44:46 Can an abandoned car hold the key for Reem? 47:18 'This man took my son's freedom...his right to his childhood' 48:54 An unforgiveable crime?
