“Canadian police have taken a child from an allegedly sexually abusive situation after the child’s anonymous e-mail plea for help was picked up in Australia,”the BBC reports. “The child knew enough about computers to enter “kids helpline” - the official name of a children’s organisation in Canada - into the Google search engine. But the e-mail went to a children’s helpline in Australia instead. Australian police teamed up with their colleagues in Canada to mount a successful international investigation”.
