Blunt Says State Needs to Focus Efforts on Protecting Children from Predators Online

January 11, 2007 By admin Leave a Comment

Spending another half a million dollars is nothing to flinch at for Governor Matt Blunt when it comes to keeping kids safe. So he’s recommending to double last year’s funding for detective salaries and personnel training and spend another quarter million on computer equipment in order to boost protection for children from online sex predators. Blunt’s recommendation would boost funding for the Cyber Crimes Grant Program to 750-thousand dollars. He says the state has passed one of the toughest version of Jessica’s Law to minimize that threat. But he says the state can’t get tough without the cash to man the operation. The grant program funds the Multi-jurisdictional Cyber Crimes Task Forces established when legislators passed Missouri’s version of Jessica’s Law last year.
