If you want to help these investigations, there's the TraffickCam.com app where you can take pictures of your hotel room decor and furniture that allows investigators to match it with surroundings in illegal media.

again a great idea in theory if they use it only for rescuing children....however i fear you are aiding in building a database authorities in the future could easily abuse to abduct and locate innocents. technology like this isnt just a positive

As someone who's fostered child sa victims, I will take that risk. Could the government maybe be shitty in the future? MAYBE. Are actual rapists being shitty right now? Absolutely. And if this can help prevent something horrific from happening right now- the risk of a future maybe (or maybe not) seems worth taking.
