Dear Warrior
:
Sometimes I wake up and think I’ve been dreaming. Why is it so hard to protect our precious children? So many good people working nonstop to advocate for children’s protection. Why would anyone want to contribute to harming them? What does this say about us as a society? Surely, everyone can support the bipartisan work of protecting kids. But will the
Last May, the Warriors, along with many other colleagues, all working to protect children, received very disturbing and new information. Significant changes to the U.S. Model Penal Code (MPC)would occur. These changes would be issued by the American Law Institute and could make it more difficult to prosecute those who sell or buy children for sex. Furthermore, these harmful updates could block the public, including victims and child-serving organizations, from having access to sex offender registries.
These updated changes would be the first in 60 years. Where did this come from? Why such little discussion among law enforcement and child safety groups and experts? Why such harmful updates? How come there was scant information available and no media coverage? Who exactly proposed and voted on these changes because no one we know is in favor of these disastrous changes that will affect the protection of our vulnerable children?
