John, I’m forwarding my previous email because this issue is so important. Please respond to help ensure children are rescued and protected from this unthinkable crime of online sexual exploitation.

Dear John,
In the photo she is wearing a Minnie Mouse tank top.
It's the kind of thing a child her age should have — along with pretend tea parties and other carefree play. But that has not been her life.
In the photo, she's in the arms of someone rescuing her from online sexual exploitation. Online predators around the world have paid to watch her be hurt live on camera ... over and over and over.
Recently, I shared the story of another little girl, Cassie*, and how she was lured into online sexual exploitation when she was just 12 years old.
One of the attorneys in our Philippines field office reports that
the victims are getting younger all the time, like the little girl in the photo. Every rescue is urgent, and every court case you help our team win sends a strong message to traffickers: We will not turn a blind eye.
Police Colonel Sheila Portento, a trusted, long-time partner of IJM wants you to know,
“Your support to IJM is engraved in our hearts. Thank you for being with us in this journey. Thank you for actively taking part in changing lives of Filipino children from abuse.”
Until all are free,
Melissa Russell,
Regional President, IJM North America
