A shocking case of child sexual abuse has come to light following the rescue of a 9-year-old girl in Vietnam, who was subjected to horrific exploitation by her own mother. The mother's livestreaming of abuse for paying customers across platforms including Bigo Live and WhatsApp has drawn scrutiny and led to a joint effort by U.S. and Vietnamese authorities to address this heinous crime.
According to reports, the girl's mother livestreamed the abuse, and one customer from Utah even recorded his viewing session on an iPhone, paying a substantial sum for the experience. The case was initially highlighted by The New York Times in December, prompting investigations centered on the parental roles in child exploitation.
The woman, whose name remains undisclosed, expressed to authorities that she resorted to this horrifying method to "make money." Federal agents, specifically from the Department of Homeland Security, have confirmed that the girl is now placed in protective custody, while her mother faces severe charges, including rape of a minor and producing child sexual abuse materials. If found guilty, she could face a prison term ranging from 20 years to life.
The authorities are currently in the process of analyzing the mother’s mobile phone, which could provide crucial information regarding her clientele in the United States. The investigation revealed that the man in Utah not only participated in the abuse but also reported the incidents to the Canadian Center for Child Protection, confirming the gravity of the situation.
An undercover agent highlighted that the United States is the leading country in supporting these kinds of abuses through payments, emphasizing the global nature of this exploitation. Efforts to combat online child abuse must expand to address the involvement of individuals from wealthier nations, providing essential resources for the protection of vulnerable children worldwide.
