On February 14, Emily’s remains were found in a remote area near Globe close to US Highway 60. A leaked memo revealed that her head and torso were found in trash bags. Since then, several vigils have been held, a $75,000 reward has been offered and advocates are pushing for more attention to be given to missing Indigenous peoples’ cases. Now, officials from multiple agencies are working together to create a task force dedicated to the case. The task force consists of GCSO, the San Carlos Apache Police Department, the Mesa Police Department, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The task force does not yet have a name. The GCSO also established an online tip line for members of the public who have information regarding the case. When people click on the link, the website will ask for a zip code when you create your account, and any agencies that subscribe to the online portal within a 50-mile radius of the zip code you entered will appear in a dropdown menu. The agency to select for the Emily Pike case is the San Carlos Apache Police Department. You can also download the Tips411 app on the App Store or Google Play.

At least 70% of men and 30% of women are watching porn on a regular basis; children are being exposed to it at younger ages, the average being 11. With this many regular viewers creating an exponentially increasing demand, why is there such awkward silence surrounding the topic?

Child labor remains a top issue in 2024 state legislative sessions amid soaring violations and widespread abuse of child labor laws in multiple sectors of the economy. On one hand, the coordinated, industry-backed effort to roll back child labor protections state by state has continued to expand. At the same time, some state legislators are proposing legislation to strengthen the rights of young workers and the laws designed to safeguard their health and education.

Since 2021, 28 states have introduced bills to weaken child labor laws, and 12 states have enacted them. By contrast, 14 states have introduced bills to strengthen child labor protections already in 2024—up from 11 states in all of 2023—as more state lawmakers recognize the need to address increasing violations and threats to current state and federal standards.

Attacks on child labor laws continue trend of weakening important state standards, with eventual goal of diminishing federal child labor laws.
