Child predators are now increasingly becoming prey themselves -- to child abuse investigators on the hunt, hoping to eradicate horrendous crimes inflicted on innocent children that not only happen in person, but via webcam or live-stream around the world.
Last week, a joint investigation, code-named Operation Endeavor, conducted by Britain's National Crime Agency, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Australian Federal Police busted an international pedophile ring that live-streamed child sexual abuse for payment from the Philippines. Last year, a human-like, Filipina avatar also helped capture 1,000 child predators from 65 countries in a massive online sting.
