I have concerns about an acquaintance, friend, family member or work colleague I suspect to be sexually exploiting children while travelling overseas?
Being confronted with the possibility that a child may be being sexually abused by someone you know is difficult. It is common for people to think that there must be some mistake, or attempt to downplay the seriousness of what they have seen or been told. Above all else, many people struggle to know what they should do and how they can help, especially when that child may be overseas.
If you do suspect that someone you know may be abusing a child/or children overseas, do trust your instincts. You don’t need concrete proof to enlist support in investigating your suspicions.
