The Ministry of Post and Telecommunications found about 400,000 cases of child sexual abuse online in Cambodia in 2021, more than double the number reported in 2020. It called on all public and private actors to work together to prevent them.
I’d never heard of Operation Underground Railroad when its founder, Tim Ballard, called me suddenly in the summer of 2014. A former Department of Homeland Security special agent, Ballard said OUR had a child-trafficking sting planned for the Dominican Republic and he wanted me to come along to document it.
Ballard explained the mission of the organization to me like this: Children in other countries were being trafficked. Local governments were overwhelmed or complicit. And the U.S. government was unwilling to jeopardize diplomatic relationships to rescue local underage victims. Ballard said he knew how to rescue these kids. He told me he’d been called to this work by God.
