Pattaya-area human-trafficking police met with a Canadian women and children’s-rights group last Friday, exchanging information on how to better apprehend foreign pedophiles.

International Institute for Child Rights and Development Director Suzanne Williams met with Lt. Col. Kreetha Tankanarat, deputy superintendent of Region 2’s Children and Women’s Protection Division at Banglamung Police Station.

Kreetha said the center had worked closely with attorneys, physicians, social workers and psychologists to help abused children and women and had arrested many pedophiles and traffickers.  He admitted there were still some obstacles to obtaining full records of foreigners who traveled to the kingdom, but progress was being made.

Williams stressed the need to patrol internet forums more closely, as they often are the havens of predators.
