A HUMAN RIGHTS CRISIS is exploding in America, with children as its victims. From small towns to Washington, this crisis goes unseen. Promise to Protect is documenting this crisis and the national campaign to rescue children.  

Tracking Child Rescues
Promise to Protect is monitoring news reports, government agencies, law enforcement press releases and other sources to track child pornography arrests nationwide. We are compiling a database of child rescues and arrests of persons with special access to children, establishing powerful proof that child sexual assault and exploitation victims can be located and protected. Many of these stories are included in our Child Rescue Wire.

Tracking Anti-Child Exploitation Efforts
We are also documenting the national law enforcement effort to combat child exploitation at the local, state and federal levels. The Promise to Protect website provides a state-by-state directory of Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) task forces and contacts. In 2009 we will also bring online a list of local task force affiliate agencies, enabling citizens to see whether their local public safety agencies are on board, including the scope of their involvement.

Policy News
Promise to Protect's Policy News page fills an unmet need for news on Washington policy, federal funding, legislation, international cooperation, state trends, the courts and other information affecting the anti-child exploitation effort.
