Global Poverty Charity Notes A Disturbing Upward Trend of Live-Streaming Sexual Abuse of Children – MILO NEWS

According to the International Justice Mission (IJM), “Cybersex trafficking” in the Philippines is a growing “dark” trend of online sexual abuse towards children.

Yet the left will still maintain online “hate speech” is a larger issue. 

The new form of child exploitation, where children are forced to perform sexual acts for online customers, is a trend that has become prevalent in the Philippines. reports almost 100 children have been rescued by the country’s authorities in the past year, however, thousands of referrals are still being sent to the police each month. 

The IJM, a global charity which safeguards poor communities while working with the authorities, says most of the “Cybersex trafficking” demand comes from places like Canada, the U.K., and the U.S.

“Cybersex trafficking of children is a deeply disturbing global problem,” says the chief executive of the organization’s U.K. branch, David Westlake. “Increased global access to technology and the internet means that this dark crime is growing at an alarming rate.”

“Filipino police alone are receiving thousands of referrals every month,” he added, according to . 

RT reports nine children aged between two and nine were rescued last week by authorities in the Philippines. 

The rescue followed a referral by Canadian police after it was discovered that a man in Canada had been paying a woman in a south-east Asian country to exploit the children. 

Before being caught, the woman offered to perform sexual acts on her eight-year-old daughter for the man. The woman also allegedly offered to sexually abuse a three-month-old, however, the baby was not found during the rescue. 

Allegedly, the woman offered to abuse children of any age until they cried. 

“International Justice Mission and Filipino police are urgently working with global police and intelligence sources from countries like the U.K., U.S., and Canada to help identify victims being abused and then rescue them,” Westlake said, the Independent reports. 

“We urgently need more people to join us in the fight to stop traffickers from stealing the childhoods and innocence of Filipino children in this brutal way,” he added.  

“This operation is the clear message that the Women and Children Protection Center (WCPC) wants to send to every facilitator/perpetrator of this crime,” said Philippines Police Superintendent Maria Sheila T Portento, from the WCPC, after the arrest and rescue mission. 

“We mean business … that is, [we will] put you behind bars and make you accountable for every act of exploitation you commit and every dream of children you destroyed,” she added. 

The threat of “behind bars” is almost laughable in a country that issues death sentences for marijuana. It’d be easier to curtail trafficking children, if the penalty was at least as bad as trafficking pot.
