I don't have the energy to correct this in full detail again so short version:
He didn't "save" 6000 children. Ashton (along with Demi Moore) has helped with the development and implementation of a program that, at the time, had helped IDENTIFY around 6000 children that were victims of sex trafficking online.
.
A few hundred of these children were actually removed from their situations.
.
Currently their website says the number identified is up to over 10,000 and over 9,000 predators have been identified. And to be clear - this is still VERY important work. BUT saying 6000 children have been saved solely by Ashton is excruciatingly misleading.
.
Ashton still works with the company as far as I know.
.
It's called THORN.
