Shout YES for The Protect Our Children Act
Thank you Mrs. Schmitty for bringing this to our attention!
Help Pass Senate Bill 1738—The PROTECT Our Children Act
Hundreds of thousands of children are victims of sexual abuse each year. Due to the sheer lack of resources, law enforcement is unable to follow up on the majority of leads they have. Oprah Winfrey is asking people to take action by reaching out to our senators and asking them to support Bill 1738.
The PROTECT Our Children Act will:
- Authorize over $320 million over the next five years in desperately needed funding for law enforcement to investigate child exploitation.
- Mandate that child rescue be a top priority for law enforcement receiving federal funding.
- Allocate funds for high-tech computer software that can track down Internet predators.
Act Now!
Your U.S. senators will be voting on the bill September 26, so it is crucial you contact them immediately. Directions on how you can easily contact your senator are here. It only takes a minute.
Thanks for the info! Gosh, this is crucial. When you look at the number of individuals who are incarcerated who claim sexual abuse as a child, it really drives home how important it is to indeed rescue these kids. We need to save them from the monsters who are shaping their lives in such a tragic way if we have any chance of saving them from themselves down the road.
