Raven, the first effort of its kind, will fight to increase resources and funding to law enforcement to help save children from exploitation
WASHINGTON, Sept. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — As cases of child exploitation are rapidly increasing, some of the world’s most respected retired child exploitation investigators, retired ICAC Commanders, sex offender treatment providers, technology innovators and policy experts in the United States announced the formation of Raven. The 501(c)4 organization is dedicated to protecting children from victimization by raising awareness of the threat of online child exploitation, increasing resources and funding to law enforcement, and lobbying for policy changes on the local and federal level.
According to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), reports of suspected incidents of sexual exploitation of children online to their CyberTipline increased by 35% from 2020 to 2021 with 29,397,681 reports in 2021. Further, there are 325,000 proactive leads sitting in DOJ funded databases that are not being worked on due to a lack of resources. Law enforcement officers need adequate funding to analyze and investigate every incident.
“Child exploitation cases are out of control and if we don’t step up to support law enforcement efforts, our children’s futures are at stake,” said John Pizzuro, CEO of Raven and former Commander of the NJ Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force. “It’s time that our law enforcement men and women have a voice in Washington, and we are here to fight to get the funding and legislation needed to stop these offenders from harming children.”
”Fight to get funding” = pad our pocketbooks ala Walsh. It’s an industry for sure.
You just know that their numbers are completely fabricated. Why? Because they have always been fabricated. After forty years, everyone’s still afraid to say that the Emperor has no clothes. Who are the biggest losers? Kids! Kids have less freedom than ever in their lives. They have less freedom-of-movement, less freedom-of-association and less power over their own lives than ever before. That’s an actual crime, not a phantom crime. But who will stand up to the criminals who’ve taken their freedom away? Virtually no one, but Lenore Skenazy is one who will.
Former IACA Cheif now private contractor drumming up big tech sector business. Let me guess…more surveillance dollars? I guess he forgot about the influence of Byrne Grant withholding. Why the push to hurry up the promulgation? Why avoid the usual due processes?! Why implement “the gov database” without impact study? Most importantly why dismiss constitutional prohibition? Now this guy complains about the electronically augmented reality of a World wide web upon child exploitation. He should ask himself, “Who paved the way?” Sexual exploitation is but one threat our children face via their use of the DDI! I could name a thousand more. Beginning to enslave humans to their maintenance for life happened here first.
America can’t keep shooters out of the streets, schools and churches despite having big brother to the keep the peace. My grand children sleep with their phones, often with the boyfriend \girlfriend on the other end. Yea young human beings are naturally curious but America makes felons outta just about anybody. This guy isn’t part of any solution, he’s part of the proliferation and reliance upon the DDI. He, like the rest claim to offer security. Such the noble cause.
Oh my….NCMEC II? This time with real cops, not just TV wannabe cops, like John Walsh?
“It’s time that our law enforcement men and women have a voice in Washington” since when have cops not had a voice? OMFG, every Tough on Crime Representative and Senator has been falling all over themselves to give cops, “A voice” for 40 damn years! I get annoyed when they play this game, that cops are ignored and nobody supports them or cares what they say. We listen too damn much to their ideas on policy!
The Maid is always going to say you’re too messy.
The Street Sweeper thinks littering is “Out of control”.
The bus boy thinks you have the table manners of a pig.
The janitor is sure you’re doing “it” on purpose
Turns out the people who clean up the messes are always sure things are:
“bad” and “getting worse”
“more needs to be done” and they “need more help”
Oh and failure to act now will make every worse!
When have cops EVER said ANYTHING different? Can’t we just assume this broken record has not been fixed, and never will be?
So sick of Cops on the cross…for kids.
I am all for protecting kids, online and off. This is not going to do that. This is just going to be yet another fear factory, with a little, “tough on crime”, pro registry, rah rah cops crap fest. They’ll scare the hell out of everyone, just like NCMEC, make up some lies to keep the fear going.
29,397,681 “Cyber-tips” about possible child exploration on line? Where the HELL are these tipsters cyber-hanging out? What kind of Dark Web CP emporium are these people trolling through? Honestly, what the hell are these people tipping off on?
How much you want to bet that 29,397,680 of those are Karen Mom reporting their teen’s TikTok and Twitter friends? How much you want to bet that the average age of the person being tipped off on is under 21? Unless of course Karen is tipping off about the PFR she wants to get rid of. Remember, that PFR could be you!
More teens getting 70 year Federal Prison sentences, coming soon! Can’t lock up enough, Predateens! I’m copywriting that.
More Crime Control Theater “Online Child Predator” Sweeps, like we just had here in So Cal, coming to beat your door down soon! Remember, you’re getting arrested! They did not come all this way to NOT arrest you! They could have done that back at the station!
Welcome to a wole new nightmare.
They’ve had the only voice for too long. Defund then abolish the police.
“As cases of child exploitation are rapidly increasing…”, “Child exploitation cases are out of control…”
Really? 🤔 I’m incredulous. If this is actually true, then why aren’t they taking some of the funds from the US Marshals Service’s meaningless compliance sweeps of registered individuals (who have extremely low recidivism rates!) and use those funds to pursue all of these allegation investigations???
(Is it just me? Why am I constantly feeling like our law enforcement agencies are lacking in such very basic common sense??? 🤷🏻♂️
Or are they intentionally working hard everyday to earn our disrespect?? 🤨😒)
Don’t even get me going about John Walsh and his son Cal.
Let me guess , LE and state /Feds the biggest pushers of Child Trafficking are the answer to the problem ? some of the biggest criminals on the planet , you can tell how much they care about children , like the way Waco was handled or the school in TX , Oh yes people should never worry about state beefing up their power over the people , because we can trust them and no one else “Wink Wink” they would never have any other motives right ? Well the fact remains that they have never stopped any crime in 200 years , and the USA has the largest prison population in the world , WOW what a great job they have done , ripping families apart , kids with zero direction and zero freedom / rich or poor , Answer maybe a state or 2 that really go’s by the constitution, and makes it hard for walleyed cow people to remain hidden as they make fake reports against people trying to live and move on in life, with unhindered pursuit of happiness and freedom regardless of the control freak fear mongers , so we need at least a state as a strong hold for those that wish to be free that watch each others freedoms and backs , mostly only needing police to make sure constitution haters stay on their side of the road, sick of every other week a new unconstitutional law ‘”Forcing” more crap on people that their crimes were years ago did their time, yet pushing more crap on top of more crap like your on life time prole , This is not constitutional nor moral , just seems to me more jobs and more freedom as well as those that want help should be able to get it with out fear of the state or feds knowing , this may help millions in the coming years and in the form of new crimes , making less victims and a better informed people , prison and lame unconstitutional registries and pumped up laws are not the answer this is a fact , using peoples spirit with no end in sight is criminal and endangering their lives as well as their familys, using registries is a crime that is thought out by criminals
Notice all the players pushing for this. Their organizations would clearly directly benefit from any fruit of their advocacy. I would be very skeptical of any group that advocates for public funding for which they would directly benefit.
if there wasn’t huge, HUGE amounts of money and easy praise to be made, they simply would not pursue this.
Hate and outrage is monetized so easily in America.
America has had a shockingly high violence problem my entire life—by FAR the highest in the West, higher than many conflict zones, and basically the suburban and state police forces have decided “We need to focus on vice.” Sure, I don’t blame them—why risk your life taking down fentanyl distributors when you can sit in an office and send DMs to prostitutes until you retire at 55 with a full pension?
RAVEN alert, cyber alert, what code names to deceive another or protect. Did you ever notice that after the arrest, they the authorities after they get one down to the station that they tell you why they are doing these internet encounters. I’m sure that if they told you up front that many would not be on the registry. See much of this registry is like a game of operation or clue or where does the deceit come in.
Sure many can talk about Supreme Authority, the Sovereign God, a bit of religious truth and understansinf, or a vain encounter of a different understanding but where is the key factor in the power of the tongue or are all guilty in this crusade… Here is an article that may shed some light on much of this wrong way offender ordeal and if one wants to read how to reduce much of all of it. The article even gives a little history of the registry . Also check out crusade to end sex registries
Just in time for Halloween and seeking funds for new laptops, desks and other whistles and bells.
The grift never stops.
