Two raids rescue five children
In an undisclosed country, our agents assisted authorities in finding and rescuing five children ages 13 to 17.
One operation rescued brother and sister, ages 13 and 14 from sex trafficking and forced begging.
In a second operation, our agent tracked down a kidnapped 16-year-old girl. She was being held with two other girls and all were being abused in preparation for sexual exploitation. Police and agents raided the building and rescued the children. Although the perpetrator escaped the scene he was later found and arrested.
All five of the survivors have been placed into the care of the country’s child welfare services where they are receiving counseling and other services.
