Child Safety Act: New Office and $5 Billion Fund to Combat Child Sexual Exploitation.

This Act establishes a new Office within the Department of Justice to Enforce and Protect Against Child Sexual Exploitation, coordinating all federal efforts in prevention, investigation, and victim treatment. It allocates $5 billion (2024-2033) to increase the number of prosecutors and FBI agents, support victims, and fund prevention programs. Citizens benefit from enhanced safety measures, stronger law enforcement capabilities, especially in online cases, and better psychological support services for child victims.
