Serey Puth ran Asian Orphans Association orphanage as well as several 'clinics'. He claimed the children in his orphanage were 'abandoned' in local villages. However, several mothers accused the organization of offering them money for their children, taking their babies, and/or refusing to return their children after temporary care. After a raid, some children were determined to belong to local women and were returned.
