Girls who leave their families are being promised a paying job as a domestic worker or as a babysitter, but they end up being used as cybersex chat girls in the Philippines. The Philippines is an established sex trade country, because of high levels of poverty and because the population can generally speak basic English. In the Philippines, internet sex is such as pornography is illegal, but the National Bureau of Investigation has a hard time enforcing the law. First, the places where girls are living in and talking on the cybersex chat rooms are hard to find. Second, informants are the best way to find where the girls are being kept, but usually the informants are girls who have escaped. The girls who work in the cybersex industry are underage, which in the Philippines is 18 years old. Law enforcement officials say that the population does not understand how much sex trade is hurting their country, and they say that the laws on enforcing illegal acts are out date so much that it makes it hard to fight against the industry.
