And here is the link directly to the tip form for those of you who would want to report something to ICE-HSI:

Here's my take on NTM reporting:

The first and most obvious thing is, of course, money. The fewer churches and people they advise of the findings, the less like they are to stop supporting NTM and their missionaries.

The second is related, and that's corporate deniability. Should there be any legal repercussions of the findings being made public (which I highly doubt), NTM can say it wasn't them, and that all of the reports they sent out were marked confidential.

I'm pretty sure that NTM knew full well that the findings would, in fact, be made public. They just don't want to take any responsibility for any of it (the reports, the findings, the abusers, the whole culture that made it all possible, etc.).

There's the difference. "CONVICTED" guilt is found but they haven't been convicted?

I never discourage anyone from reporting these overseas crimes to any law enforcement agencies. There is always the hope that someone will figure out a way to get a significant legal response and actually get someone incarcerated for what they did to children long ago.

To date though, that has not happened. Scott Kennell was arrested by ICE for more current crimes.

The Protect Act of 2003 paved the way for more recent crimes overseas to be prosecuted, and it is important that we keep sending out the message, "Notify ICE!" Particularly in any current or recent cases of child abuse committed by Americans overseas.

But speaking from personal experience as one who has already gotten help from federal agencies, it is unlikely anything will come of the assurance we have been given by NTM, IHART and Pii that they have "notified authorities" about these pre-Protect Act cases.

In spite of my pessimism, I still encourage everyone to at least try to pursue that route though. Maybe someday someone will find a way through.
