An image depicting the bodies of children apparently found in a container vehicle by police in Thailand is spreading across social media along with the claim that the bodies had their organs removed.
A pixelated version of the disturbing image along with its text can be seen below.
Thailand police found this in a container vehicle. Dead bodies of children. Their organs where found removed. They are all kidnapped and brought to Thailand from different countries, police says.
Take care of your children and share this message to your contacts.
While we can certainly get on board with the advice given in the message about taking care of your children, it should be noted that the rest of the caption is simply false. The photo does not depict bodies discovered in Thailand. In reality the photo shows some of the casualties from the chemical attack in Ghouta, Syria that took place in August 2013, that resulted in several hundred deaths, including both women and children.
The photo has been distributed a number of times across the Internet since 2013, and you can see it on any number of blogs, including this one (warning: Contains graphic images.)
