The demand for live streaming child sexual abuse is so high in Australia that AFP officers are now based permanently in the Philippines working with an international task force investigating this distressing cyber-crime.
Watch the full film here:
In the dead of night in Manila, police officers track down criminals responsible for delivering online child abuse to a growing number Australian customers. ‘A lot of the Philippines population speak English quite well which makes it easy for the offenders to communicate and to text and negotiate’, says Detective Senior Constable Natalie Roesler. One Australian man was recently jailed for 15 years for child sex offences over the internet; his youngest victim was just three years old. Often, parents are involved in arranging the abuse. ‘Rescue operations are often very stressful for survivors, especially very young survivors who may not understand right away why they are being separated from their parents’, says Jessa Lazarte, a social worker with International Justice Mission. A mother who facilitated her children’s abuse for money agrees to be interviewed. ‘You have not been there, what we’ve been through to stay alive. Maybe when you’re in my situation, you would understand me’, she says. She faces life in prison for the offences.

Sexual imperialism.
Actually IMO, the President is to blame due to his 99% focus on only drug offenses. He is so compulsive re drugs to the detriment of all other types of crimes. He could care less if children r getting abused.
No wonder lots of westerners go there….
Looking for answers? Check the "Made in" labels of all your clothes. Unchecked Capitalism puts people around the world into poverty where some "eat their own" and profit from selling their own bodies or those of other people. Child Porn is unfortunately, extremely lucrative. Where some people might prefer their women with red hair, child pornography consumers are interested in the act, often so that they can use the videos and images to groom their own children…
Elevate the lives of all people and they will care for their own children, not sell, lease or personally exploit them.
Po r**no graphy is source of western . Media
Its normal in places where they breed like rats,
2:47 Oh look it's Jolibee!
Once again the cops going after fake crime (drugs) & the real crime goes unpunished.
I find it to be very sad and discouraging that the children who are sex trafficked in America is hardly mentioned at all. There aren’t hardly any Amber alerts anymore yet thousands of children have been stolen or sold by their own families, sex trafficked and also used in satanic rituals yet, there isn’t media coverage. The authorities know that many children are sold at Super Bowls (during halftime?) but no media coverage of investigators busting the people who are putting children up for sale and the people with the big bucks who are buying the children. It’s always about sexually exploited children in other nations. Which is horrible and wrong in any nation. When did the men and women who are in places of authority (Federal and State government) turn their back on the children in America? In Florida, there are police and detectives who bust predators who prey on children but that is the only place I have heard of, in a long time, that are trying to help children who are being sexually exploited. Seems like more of taxpayers money is being used to target individuals who ask the sort of questions that I just asked then taxpayers money to protect the American children.
You mean the rise of child sexual assaults being filmed.
this started about 25 years ago
Although this is happening in the Philippines the customers are from the US, Australia and other countries. So their problem is our problem and this won't get solved unless those countries do something about it too. And its really just taking it off the internet is what we got to do.
It's sickening and it's pedophilia. When you say that there's something to do with Homosexuality, then you're wrong. This has NOTHING to do with LGBTQ+
Whoever runs this channel needs to change the title. The term is child exploitation materials, not porn. Pornography is something consenting adults do for compensation, kids cannot consent to sexual activity nor being featured in the material produced. Calling it porn effectively re-victimizes children that are victims/survivors of this level of abuse. It’s not ok.
In the US over 800,000 children are kidnapped every year with all manner of sexual and violent offenses committed against them.
The current US president has been caught over and over violating, groping, sniffing, and inappropriately kissing children all caught on video/pictures, which shows how high up the ladder this perversion goes…
Many US and European men go to places like Southeast Asia because of the lax laws and poor police response when children are violated and even killed.
Child sex trafficking has been going on for literally centuries just like adult prostitution… I do not know if it will ever be eradicated, but it needs to be.
The title contains an antiquated term for child sex abuse. The word “pornography” has a connotation of consent, which a child cannot give.
Its a global industry…real big in Canada and the US!

when a white person says they've traveled internationally, this is what they mean.
A lot of law enforcement are traffickers of children and turn a blind eye for money or self gratitude! They should be investigated first because thats where the Epsteins are! If u kno you kno! Please protect children from this Evil system!
This is horrific to hear it even know about
I can't believe there's sick perverted people to go after innocent children. This is very upset me
