An Act Concerning the Sexual Exploitation of Minors

There has been a long history the commercial sexually exploiting minors.  Legislation has attempted to curb this since 1910.  All of the policies I have mentioned as well as An Act Concerning the Sexual Exploitation of Minors, uses penalties as a way to deter offenders, however no bill addresses the physical and psychological needs of sexually exploited minors.  Progress is has been made to address the concern for the growing incidents of sexual exploitation.  To date, policy has defined commercial sexual exploitation, as well as the agents and terms involved.  The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children has also helped in training, information and raising awareness.  However, with as much progress that has been made, there is still much to do.  There has not been enough done until children and minors are safe.
