Base sa inilabas na kalatas ng US Embassy sa Pilipinas, tiniyak ng U.S. FBI at mga kinatawan ng National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) at iba pang international law enforcement partners, na patuloy ang isasagawang pagtulong sa mga bansa kung saan marami ang kaso ng child sex trafficking.
Maliban sa Pilipinas kasama rin sa tinukoy ng FBI na maraming kaso ng child sex trafficking ang Cambodia at Thailand.
Sa Pilipinas, sa tulong ng impormasyon ng FBI at ng local law enforcement ay nasagip ang dalawang batang lalaki na may edad 5 at 11 at isang batang babae na may edad 2-anyos mula sa isang tahanan sa Taguig City na ginagawa website-based service.
