If you suspect a case of child sexual exploitation or child trafficking report it to the authorities. Try to report as much specific information as you have about the perpetrator, victim, and location seen. Even if you do not have a lot of information, it is best to report it anyway. You may be contributing to a case that is already being investigated and your small piece of information might be the last piece needed to complete the investigation.
Under the U.S. PROTECT Act, sex tourists can be prosecuted after their return to the U.S. for exploiting a child in another country. Many people don’t know about it or what to do if they suspect it is going on. Contact ECPAT-USA to find out more information.
