There are so many around the world fighting to keep children safe...
A tip-off from Australian Federal Police to their US counterparts has been credited with saving a three-year-old girl from further alleged sexual abuse in the United States.

It was the efforts of officers from the AFP-led Australian Centre to Counter Child Exploitation that identified and tracked down an American man accused of creating child exploitation material with his alleged three-year-old victim.
Specially trained to identify and disrupt behaviours that exploit or endanger children, the work of the Australian investigators directly led to saving the youngster, who police claim was being used to create child exploitation material.
The man has now been identified as 32-year-old David Allen Kiper, who was arrested at his Kentucky home late last month.
Despite being over 15,000 km away from the endangered girl, it was the advice of the Australian agency that meant she could be rescued from further harm, as Homeland Security and local police took immediate action to save her and arrest her alleged offender after the ACCCE tip-off.
Operations Hilda Sirec said the AFP’s expertise meant no matter where in the world children were located, specialist teams stood ready to protect them.
“Our investigators at the ACCCE are dedicated to protecting children in Australia from abuse
and work with law enforcement across the world to do the same,” Commander Sirec said.
She gave a strong warning to offenders, as she pledged the AFP would stop at nothing to bring them to justice.
“Our message to offenders accessing or exchanging child abuse material is that we will not
stop investigating anyone responsible for spreading this abhorrent material and bringing them
before the court.”
