Report - Milton McCann TdH

The second case involves men using a bona fide charity as a route to large numbers of vulnerable children,

others simply create fictitious charities, or in the case of expatriate act as individual benefactors. Early in

2000 Tdh hosted a conference of international children’s charities to develop guidelines and codes and

conduct to address the deliberate infiltration by child abusers. However, the commitment of Tdh was brought

into question in August 2000 when a story was reported in the Swiss press (see for example

Neue Zurcher

Zeitung

11 August 2000, p13) of a case in India where an employee of a Tdh project, Milton McCann, was

suspected of both fraud and multiple sexual abuse. Again early indications of problems were not responded

to, the eventual legal charges related only to the fraud allegations and were not pursued vigorously by Tdh.

The most alarming charge was that McCann appeared to still have connections to Tdh, and children, through

another children’s NGO which he currently works for and that was accommodated in Tdh offices.
