My name is Adam. I'm 11 years old and need your help. I've been kidnapped by my uncle. I feel so scared...This heart-rending message from a little British boy, stolen from his mother and held captive in the Middle East, was smuggled to David Cameron A YEAR AGO. So why has he not been freed?
At first glance, the dark-haired figure in the video clip appears more like a terrified hostage pleading for his life than a British schoolboy begging to be reunited with his mother.
With desperation etched on his tired face, 12-year-old Adam Jones cries out: ‘Someone out there please help me. I’m alone and I have no idea what to do. It’s terrifying. Terrifying. I’m scared and I need help. Please, I’m begging. Please help me.’
Then there is the handwritten letter — composed in secret and smuggled out in the hope that there was one man who could help set him free: David Cameron. ‘Dear Prime Minister,’ it begins in childish script. ‘I need your help. I was kidnapped by my uncle . . . My life is very bad and not fun because of him. I want to live with my Mum. I do not want to be in a prison. I am terrified and scared. Please please help me.’
