The Issue: All the well-intentioned laws in the world won't matter if they are not used, but nothing changes behavior like the sunshine of accountability.

TO THE AVERAGE VOTER, they’re strangers.

Most Americans choose candidates for sheriff, district attorney or judge knowing almost nothing about their track record or where they really stand. Surveys show many voters decide who to support based on party affiliation, name recognition or even their location on the ballot.

But to a child who has been the victim of a serious crime, those with positions of power in the justice system hold the highest offices in the land. Now, for the first time, someone is watching. The Crimes Against Children Sunshine Project will provide an objective, nonpartisan source of information on how public servants in the justice system are doing when it comes to fighting crimes against children.

One of the best ways to protect the most children, right now, is to focus the bright sunshine of accountability on public servants in the child protection and justice system. In an environment where Americans are starved for information and outraged by daily news of child abuse, it's information guaranteed to motivate change.
