Question
If you could change one thing in the world to make kids safer/more secure, what one thing would you change?
Internet architecture so the exploitation of children is less efficient, and predators are more easily caught?
Education of children, adding security training to K-12 curricula in every school in the country?
Much tougher penalties, so that predators face discouraging punishment?

When we're trying to prioritize, we're faced with decisions like this. What is the most effective thing for children? How can be best use our limited time and budget?
For us, the answer is education, and with that comes empowerment. children who know their value and their rights, and who feel safe enough to report crimes committed against them, will reduce crimes committed against themselves and committed against their children.
We focus our work there, but we strongly support the efforts of others to improve ID security and to come up with ways to monitor where Level 3 offenders go, and with whom they socialize.
