The Canadian Centre for Child Protection says it is seeing an alarming increase in reports of children being lured online as an American man accused of kidnapping a teenage girl from Edmonton was set to appear in court Tuesday.

The 13-year-old girl was missing more than a week before she was found in Oregon on Saturday.
