Cambodia's young are still prey to sexual predators and deceit from at home and abroad, a rights investigator said Monday.
Children can be sold or tricked into the sex trade in the provinces and Phnom Penh, or trafficked abroad for sex or labor, said Thav Kimsan, a child rates coordinator for the rights group Licadho.
The practice can be hard to fight, but victims should report to those they most trust—like their mother or other authority—if they suspect abuse, exploitation or potential trafficking, Thav Kimsan said, as a guest on "Hello VOA."
"There is shame for victims when they are victimized, but relatives should be aware if something abnormal is happening to a family member," he said.
Children are sometimes forced into labor, or work in begging rings, including those younger than 15, which is illegal, Thav Kimsan said.
Children who face physical violence, sexual abuse or overwork are protected under strong laws, where violators can be severely prosecuted, he said.

sexual exploitation in cambodia will always be a problem as long as the pro-western crowd continue to invite pedophiles and perverts from europe, america, australia, canada and new zealand to rape and molest our women and children.
if the western puppets want to please their white masters, they should offer them their sisters, daughters, wives and even mothers to their white masters. don't let them come and take advantage of our people who are desperate to make a few dollars to feed their families.
as khmer we should unite and not look down at our women who are forced into prostitution by economic hardship. we should reach out to our law enforcement agencies to encourage them to arrest and prosecute any foreigner who comes to cambodia to take advantage of our women and children.
the pro-western traitors are the ones who invite sex predators to our land and create the conditions that foster human trafficking in our beloved homeland.
Yep, and that is another reason to get rid of Ah useless Sam Rainshit.
Go read the Kohsantepheap, your tabloid, and you'll see that you are truly a damn fool! Those predators come in all colors, domestic and foreign. F$@# idiot!
white men represent only a small minority in cambodia but commit about half the sex crimes in our country. it is all about power, from the ones who order cambodians to respect human rights to the pedophile scums. they have the same mentality...they think khmer people are inferior and sub-human. they hold to the view that it is the white man's right and the white man's burden to exercise dominion over khmer people. if you don't see what is happening in cambodia, you're a brainwashed idiot.
You go, broh!
