2 activist groups; Surviving Parents Coalition (SPC) & National Association to Protect Children (PROTECT) joined forces to launch their "Not One More Child Campaign." Click here to read details.
Did you know there are thousands of sexual predators roaming the street of America - freely and without care? Did you know that law enforcement has enough evidence to locate, arrest and prosecute these predators? Only about 2% of the sexual predator population is investigated. Why? Lack of resources and personnel. The group hopes to spread the word of "Not One More Child!" across the nation - saving our children from predators.
Sex offenders are routinely recycled when they commit offenses against kids, because parents (or teens) avoid reporting their behavior to law enforcement in order to protect the victim. The effect is to move a predator on to assault other victims. If parents consult with mandated reporters (licensed professionals like teachers, nurses, dentists who are required to file a report if a child is at risk) when they are concerned about a youngster's safety, this will reduce the latitude that criminals have in targeting kids.
