Here's an interesting story.

Curiously, what the article does not mention is how the FBI got
involved, and why. :-)

Via CANOE.ca (Canadian Press).

A young victim has been removed from a sexually abusive situation after the
RCMP teamed with an Internet provider to trace an anonymous plea for help
the Canadian child made online to Australia.

The RCMP say the child sent an e-mail to a kids' help line in Australia,
which was forwarded to the Queensland police Internet child exploitation
unit.

An FBI task force in Washington determined that the Internet service
provider was Bell Aliant in Canada.
