Imagine if police knew where hundreds of thousands of criminals were, right now, preying on children. What if authorities could use technology to locate these predators and rescue their victims tomorrow? That's real child abuse prevention, and it's a reality now. But most of these children will not be protected... unless you take action.
We Could Rescue These Children Now... The growth of the Internet has fueled an exploding marketplace for child pornography. These are no innocent photos of babies in the bathtub. Last year, law enforcement identified over 300,000 suspects distributing sadistic movies and photographs of very young childen being sexually abused, raped and tortured. The demand for these foul crime scene recordings can only be supplied one way: through the abuse of more and more children.
But the explosion of child pornography trafficking has not only caused a modern-day human rights crisis, it has also given law enforcement powerful new tools to find and stop child predators. Hundreds of thousands of criminals are now hiding in plain sight, and 1 out of 3 arrests for child pornography uncovers evidence of local child sexual abuse victims. Investigators can follow the trail of child pornography trafficking "back through the Internet," directly to the door of these criminals. That means that for the first time ever, we have the power to stop and prevent child sexual abuse on a massive scale.
But Most Child Victims Are Not Being Protected The shocking truth is that while we could rescue thousands of children tomorrow, less than 2% of these known suspects are even being investigated due to lack of resources. In 2008, PROTECT won a major victory with the passage of the PROTECT Our Children Act, but thousands of children will not be rescued until the bill is fully-funded.
