An international child crime conference taking place on the Gold Coast has heard from the Texas Rangers who are training Queensland police to recognise warning signs of child molesters and abductors during routine traffic stops.
In Texas alone, 18 children have been rescued in January and February as a result of troopers detecting suspicious activity during routine traffic stops, Courier Mail reports.
Texas Ranger Sergeant Cody Mitchell revealed the “indicators” to look out for in drivers like them having dyed hair to possibly disguise their identity.
“Everywhere you go the (child exploitation) problems are exactly the same,” Sgt Mitchell said.
“There are cultural differences (between countries) but the base of all evil seems to be the same everywhere you go.”
