## Resource

One-third of cruise ship assault survivors were minors, according to a Congressional report. Maritime attorneys confirm a similar ratio across more than a thousand cases. And the access that makes it possible is built into how the ships operate. Master keycards open every cabin. Youth centers run without the licensing standards required of daycare centers on land. International crew are screened against whatever their home country provides — no international offender database exists. This is the structural vulnerability parents are not being told about: the access, the supervision gaps, the screening limitations, and the environment engineered to separate parents from children while encouraging adults to let their guard down. The documented cases show the threat exists in every part of the ship: cabins, youth centers, dining rooms, fitness areas, entertainment venues. The industry’s response every time: zero tolerance after the fact. Not prevention before it. Cruising with Predators, a Hidden Killers investigation.
