Child Defenders' Technology Expo

Tuesday, 09 September 2008
The National Law Center
for Children and Families is working to forge a connection between the law
enforcement community and the technological innovators of the private sector to
combat child exploitation. This is a proactive endeavor to unite the forces
that battle child exploitation in our country. The private sector, especially
in the high-tech arena, has much to bring into this battle, and the NLC wants
to act as the catalyst to bring these forces together. To read an article by NLC Executive Director Richard Whidden on this topic read The Missing Battalion .
On
January 20-22, 2009, the NLC will host the first annual Child Defenders'
Technology Expo in Orlando,
Florida. The technology expo is
aimed at all levels of law enforcement to encourage collaboration and
networking among those working in the field and will run concurrently with the
NLC PROTECTS National Seminar.

The
Congressional Committee room is crowded as the head of the FBI briefs Members
of Congress on the battle against child exploitation. The news is not good. He
tells the Committee that we are losing the war against child pornography.
Instead of devolving into a tirade
about what is wrong with society, technology or criminal justice, I’m going to
go a different route with this articlemuch like how the NLC combats child exploitation. We work towards
proactive solutions, advocacy and education.
