"Our nation has made this commitment: Anyone
who targets a child for harm will be a primary target of law
enforcement. That's our commitment. Anyone who takes the life
or innocence of a child will be punished to the full extent
of the law."
President George W. Bush, October
23, 2002 |
Guided by the leadership of the Attorney General, Project Safe Childhood
(PSC) aims to combat the proliferation of technology-facilitated sexual
exploitation crimes against children. The threat of sexual predators
soliciting children for physical sexual contact is well-known and
serious; the danger of the production, distribution, and possession
of child pornography is equally dramatic and disturbing. The response
to these growing problems must be coordinated, comprehensive, and
robust. It must aim to investigate and prosecute vigorously, and protect
and assist victimized children. At the same time, it must recognize
the need for a broad, community-based effort to protect our children
and to guarantee to future generations the opportunities of the American
dream.
