They are charged with conspiracy to harvest organs, The Guardian UK reports.
According to the report, the charges involve arranging or facilitating travel of another person with a view to exploitation, namely organ harvesting, the Met said in a statement.
The investigation was launched after detectives were alerted to potential offences under modern slavery legislation in May 2022, the force said.
The child involved has been safeguarded, according to the Met.
