Child Rescue Act
The Child Rescue Act establishes a national working group to study how law enforcement can better identify and rescue children affected by child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and contact offenses. The Working Group will gather data from law enforcement agencies to estimate offender and victim numbers, identify resource needs, and develop victim-centric policing strategies. It will make recommendations to Congress on funding, investigative approaches, and resource allocation to help law enforcement better protect children. The Working Group must submit a report within 365 days of the bill's enactment, including findings and recommendations for legislation. This is a procedural bill focused on analysis and recommendations, not on changing existing laws or creating new enforcement powers.
