Switzerland relies too heavily on an American NGO to detect child sexual abuse online, raising questions about the country's ability to protect children on its own.
A former childcare worker in German-speaking Switzerland, suspected of abusing at least 15 young children, was only exposed after a tip-off from the United States.
The Federal Office of Police says it received 16,750 such reports from the US last year, a new record.
Legal experts are now calling for this country to set up its own dedicated reporting centre.
Without it, they warn, the detection of abuse here depends almost entirely on decisions made abroad.
