I was shocked to read about FBI agents raiding the Child Foundation in Seattle.
The foundation is among the best known Iranian-American charity organizations. I have donated small amounts to them on a couple of occasions. I have seen a documentary made about their financial support of children with good grades in poor single-parent families. Several photo essays have been published here.
I do not know what the FBI has found that would make them take such a drastic action. The people who work for the Child Foundation are among the most respected members of the community and any ties to terrorism or criminal activity would be unthinkable.
Of all Iranian entities you take action against one that is actually doing good in this world?
I would like the Iranian-American community leaders, lawyers, organizations… to follow this case closely and seek answers to one simple question: What has the Child Foundation done wrong?
I have too much respect and admiration for what this group has done to make this a better world for under-privileged children. I need proof to be convinced otherwise.
