PROTECT Our Children Act of 2008

Anonymous · May 4, 2013

Congress passed the Providing Resources, Officers, and Technology to Eradicate Cyber Threats to Our Children Act of 2008 (the "PROTECT Our Children Act"). As mandated by the Act, in February 2010, the Department, working with the National Drug Intelligence Center, completed a year long and first of its kind threat assessment of the magnitude of child exploitation. The result of this assessment reports a disturbing trend showing increases, and in some instances significant increases, in all types of child sexual exploitation, including: (1) child pornography; (2) online enticement of children for sexual purposes; (3) commercial sexual exploitation of children; and (4) child sex tourism.

On August 2, 2010, the Department submitted The National Strategy for Child Exploitation Prevention and Interdiction to Congress. In this National Strategy the Department acknowledges that "[d]espite efforts to date, the threat of child sexual exploitation remains very real, whether it takes place in the home, on the street, over the Internet, or in a foreign land." The National Strategy lays out a comprehensive plan both to prevent and interdict in the sexual exploitation of children. The success of the National Strategy depends on a team effort among our local, tribal, state and federal law enforcement partners, on the awareness, dedication and determination of concerned citizens, community organizations, parents, educators, and civil organizations. The Department will call upon a number of its own components, offices and agencies to devote personnel, resources, and time to the issue of preventing, investigating, and prosecuting child exploitation.

These components include: the Office of the Deputy Attorney General, FBI, U.S. Marshals Service, U.S. Attorneys Offices, Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Office of International Affairs, Office of Justice Programs, and Office of Legal Policy. These components will coordinate and multiple their efforts with the numerous other local, state, tribal, federal, and non-governmental agencies and organizations. This includes the United States Postal Inspection Service, Department of Homeland Security through Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the United States Secret Service, Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Defense, Department of Commerce, Department of Education, the 61 Internet Crimes Against Children Task Forces, and numerous other local and state agencies and organizations. The non-governmental organizations that will work alongside our federal, tribal, state, and local partners include the National Center of Missing and Exploited Children, Child Help, Darkness to Light, Girls Education and Mentoring Services, Inc., Enough is Enough, i-Safe, Kristi House, Inc., Nevada Child Seekers, Paul Lisa Program, Inc., Web Wise Kids, San Diego Police Foundation, Self Reliance Foundation, Washtenaw Area Council for Children, INOBTR, TechMission Youth Program, PROTECT, and many others.

One of the chief mandates of the PROTECT ACT and the National Strategy is to expand our efforts to coordinate and cooperate with federal, tribal, state, local, and international organizations and agencies in the fight to prevent and interdict in the sexual exploitation of children. Working closely with each other, we will pool our intelligence and resources to ensure that those offenders who seek to entice and compromise our children are brought to justice.

It is difficult emotionally to vote against "save the children" legislation. For this reason, we ought to be very skeptical toward every bit of it.

Really? I'm a little surprised by that. Isn't it against the law to post child porn on line?

Sometimes "save the children" is used to grant police greater powers. Maybe that's okay in this instance. I don't know. But I hope someone reads the fine print with this proposed law. I would hate to create situations where police might be able to cherry pick evidence, or even plant evidence, against innocent people.

Ive seen it with my own eyes Mr. the internet.
i mean fairly recently we discovered a ring of arab profiles that have pictures sets of 2 children being hungby their neck and killed and consequent decomp of their bodies, judging from the pictures, for at least a years time.

It is a very slippery slope we are on. but we do have rules to prevent us from ruining innocent peoples lives.

If you report the pictures of the children being hung to Facebook and/or the FBI, won't they be taken down?

Well, from what we could deduce this one picture was up for ever a year. Also I don't know if the FBIhas any jurisdiction, or if stature of limitations applies and all that jazz.
I don't even care about the pics anymore, I want to find who ever was responsible for doing that to those poor kids. Even if from what I have been able to discern it happened close to 10 years ago.

If you would like to talk some more about it PM me.

It's against the law to post child porn. It is posted on facebook, MySpace and Youtube. More difficult -pedophiles meet each other online on these sites to share their pix.

As usual.

Re: child porn on line

Title III amends existing child protection and pornography laws to reflect advanced means of image manipulation and depiction. Sec. 301 prohibits the broadcast of live images of child abuse. Sec. 302 expands the definition of "visual depiction," basically, to cover data that has yet to be converted into a visual image. Sec. 303 amends the prohibition against importing child pornography into the United States to include live visual depictions of child pornography. Finally, Section 304 prohibits the modification of an actual visual image of a child into a pornographic picture.'

This is the act of 2008. There is a protect out kids act of 2012
