Congress urged to treat online child exploitation as a health crisis
Original: Teresa Huizar: Congress must treat online child exploitation like the health crisis it is
Teresa Huizar, a leading voice on child protection, is calling on Congress to address online child exploitation as a public health crisis rather than a niche criminal issue. Writing in an opinion piece, she argues the scale of abuse now requires a coordinated public health response, and urges lawmakers to act on legislation tackling online harms to children.
Why now: The op-ed ties into ongoing US legislative debates over child online safety laws.
