THE PROBLEM
Sex trafficking, child pornography, and sextortion is on the rise
The United States is one of the worst offenders worldwide in creating and purchasing child abuse material, images, and videos, involving child pornography and child sex trafficking.
One in ten children are sexually abused by age 18
20 to 40 incidents of sex trafficking occuring daily
70% of abusers have victimized 50 to 150 children
THE EVIDENCE IS HARD TO FIND
Technology is fueling the problem
Ninety percent of cases involve digital content stored on devices that perpetrators purchase and sell.
Sex traffickers and child abusers utilize cameras and hard-to-find digital storage devices to engage in illegal activities, such as creating and distributing child sexual abuse materials.
Law enforcement agencies face significant challenges in finding hidden storage devices used to prosecute offenders.
HOW WE STOP THIS
ELECTRONIC DETECTION POLICE DOGS
Electronic Detection Dogs Find Evidence Used to Prosecute Sex Traffickers
Child pornography is often saved on small digital devices, usually missed by human law enforcement officers, but our electronic sniffing dogs can find this valuable evidence, helping to convict abusers and break the cycle of abuse.
Defenders For Children assists law enforcement by raising funds to acquire, train, and place electronic detection dogs with law enforcement agencies around the USA.
Electronic Detection K9s Save Children.
The more K9s working, the more children can be rescued, and more abusers can be stopped for many years!
