Published | Video Starts at 05:29

There's seven forensic analysts, seven experts who can analyze these images. 90,000 images at least, that the government knows of with these lost children. 20 million reports of sexual exploitation and yet only 7 analysts who are able to identify and rescue these children. If you look at this map again, there's a sea of red dots. If you look closely, there's also blue dots, but you'd be hard pressed to find them. (05:29–05:46)
