“Right now, 89,000 unidentified image series of children being sexually abused have been seen by law enforcement — but these children have yet to be identified and are still waiting to be found due to resource and manpower shortages,” said Tebow, Founder and Chairman of the Tim Tebow Foundation “Every day we don't act is another day they're in harm's way. Today, we acted. I am grateful to our congressional leaders for getting this lifesaving legislation over the finish line, and to the law enforcement who never stop fighting for these kids.
My prayer is that hope is renewed for many more boys and girls, and that their stories will be different because of this legislation. When we come together, real change can happen —and this is just the beginning.”
We want to thank Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) for his leadership in championing this legislation and helping bring it across the finish line.
The $108.5 million dedicated to child exploitation in the reconciliation package is based on The Renewed Hope Act authored by Senators John Cornyn (R-Texas) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), and Representatives Laurel Lee (R-Fla.) and Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.).
We are grateful to the legislation’s authors and the following bipartisan leaders for their support in advancing this legislation: Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD), Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.); Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.); and Representatives Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), Ranking Member Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), Ranking Member Lucy McBath (D-Ga.), and Madeleine Dean (D-Pa.).
