Child Protection Act 1738-Please read this
I saw the most horrific Oprah show ever on Monday. So horrific that I felt, and still feel, physically ill. The show was on Child Molesters & Child Pornography and their prevalance in the USA. Honestly I think Oprah took it too far, and I saw things that I can NEVER, EVER forget. Things that I can't believe humans can do to one another. Things that I could never imagine even in my worst nightmares. And these things are being done to our children EVERY SINGLE DAY. The horrors that happen everyday in this country, and the world, to innocent children, some as young as only months old, is horrendous. And to make things worse these images and videos are being traded on the internet like baseball cards, and the demand is increasing. I beg of you, I plead with you, please write to your Senators NOW to ask them to sign the Child Protection Bill that is being proposed next week.
This has nothing to do with your political ideas. This has to do with protecting babies and children who are raped and molested daily. Currently our law enforcement only has the ability to go after 2% of these predators. TWO PERCENT. You can click on the link here, which has a sample letter, and simply click on the senate link here to copy and paste the letter to them.
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.
While googling what news stories I could on this show, I found this unfortunate article from Fox News about how this Bill is in trouble as the Democrats and Republicans are fighting over who would take credit for this act, and also refusing to sign unless they attach other bills onto it, such as legistlation for the interstate commerce of non-human primates. Are you fucking kidding me? You won't pass a bill to go after men who are raping, videotaping and trading images of toddlers because of fucking chimpanzees? This is just too much to handle.
Please do something and write to your senator now. It literally takes 2 minutes. It's the very least we can do.

I saw a little of the oprah show, and I had the same reaction. I was physically ill, I could only watch a little of the show, it was too much to handle.
There are sick and vile people out there, and the sad thing is they are usually in some way related to the child, or someone they know. These horrible people must be stopped!!!!!!
I just emailed chuck and hilary and I hope that enough people will be moved to contact their senators as well. Something has to be done. It's impossible to stop all of these horrible monsters, but maybe if we all scream loud enough to our politicians, maybe we can atleast stop some of them and save some poor child.
simone, thanks for showing me the way to try to stop them. I will pass on the info. to my friends.
love cindy
Done. Thanks for letting me know about this issue.
It's not just sexual abuse. Child abuse takes more forms than that. There is mental and physical abuse which is every bit as destructive. I was never sexually abused but I endured constant beatings from my father and frequent abuse also from my mother usually in the form of stinging slaps across the face and vicious verbal attacks. Sexual abuse is just the beginning. I suspect a great deal more children suffer physical torment than sexual. Any protections should specifically address this issue. They suffer every bit as silently as sexually abused children.
