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.

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.

and here is the letter I sent by mail, email, and fax. This bill was started by Elizabeth Smarts father and many others who know the importance of protecting our children.

I encourage you to do this ASAP this will be presented within just a few short weeks and please pass on to other you know will care and take action for the children within this country.

Dear Senator:

I am a mother of three children, and a aunt to many nieces and nephews. I know that you believe, like I do, that we MUST do everything possible to protect children from sexual predators. That is why I am asking for your help.

Last year alone, U.S. law enforcement identified over 300,000 criminals who were trafficking in movies and pictures of young children being raped and tortured. Experts say that one in every three of these criminals has local child victims. Child pornography trafficking over the Internet has given us a trail of evidence that leads straight to their doorsteps, but the vast majority of these children will never be rescued because investigators are overwhelmed, outnumbered and underfunded.

As your constituent, I urge you to do everything in your power to pass the PROTECT Our Children Act (S. 1738, Biden-Hatch). This bipartisan legislation passed the House 415-2, but it is now the victim of petty partisan politics. Please pass this as soon as possible do not wait and leave these children alone without the support and protection of the government.

Now that we know where these children are and how to protect them, there is no excuse for the Senate to fail to take action this session.

All my best,

Molly
