Strengthening the Fight Against Child Exploitation and Online Abuse.

This Act reauthorizes and updates the "Project Safe Childhood" program, significantly boosting federal, state, and local efforts to combat online child sexual exploitation. It mandates better coordination, specialized training, and the use of technology to prioritize the rapid identification and rescue of child victims. Citizens benefit from enhanced public safety measures and annual awareness campaigns designed to prevent these crimes.
Key points
Enhanced Law Enforcement: Improved coordination and strategic plans for federal prosecutors and ICAC task forces to target and rapidly investigate serious offenders, including those in positions of trust.
Increased Resources: Authorization of substantial funding for technology development, specialized training, and the addition of at least 20 dedicated federal prosecutors.
Public Awareness: Establishment of an annual "Safer Internet Day" to educate the public, parents, and children on online threats, prevention, and how to report potential exploitation.
