Foreign Correpondent: Saving The Children (ABC TV Thursday 2 March 2023)
This week on Foreign Correspondent’s Saving The Children, Stephanie March is in the field with the international task team searching for abused children.
As the number of Australians who have purchased online child abuse grows, police in Manila work through the night to apprehend the crooks responsible. In the Philippines, this scenario has been repeated countless times as the number of reported cases reaches crisis proportions.
Due to high demand, Australian Federal Police (AFP) personnel have established a permanent presence in the Philippines to join an international task force investigating this disturbing kind of cybercrime.
Reporter Stephanie March of Foreign Correspondent has been granted unprecedented access to the investigation and rescue operations being conducted by the Philippine police and the international task team. Some parents may even be complicit in the abuse of their own children for financial gain, as Stephanie discovers in an honest and confronting interview with a mother serving time for organizing the abuse of her child.
