Indonesia Introduces Border Monitoring To Stop Child Traffickers
2005-01-08
Indonesia is to monitor its international borders in a bid to stop child traffickers. The country's government is setting up special centres within tsunami refugee camps to care for children and reunite them with their families if possible. There have been sporadic reports of attempted child trafficking in Indonesia since the Boxing Day quake, but police say there haven't been any confirmed cases. The main city on Sumatra, Medan, already had a reputation as a base for criminal gangs that sell children into servitude or for sexual exploitation. Indonesia also recently placed restrictions on children under the age of 16 leaving the country in an effort to avert child trafficking.
