Amy and Vicky Child Pornography Victim Restitution Improvement act of 2015

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. DAINES. Madam President, as a father of four, I am deeply
concerned by the very need for legislation like S. 295, the Amy and
Vicky Child Pornography Victim Restitution Improvement Act. It is
appalling that even a single one of our children is subject to such
base and vile exploitation. As parents, and as a Nation, it is
paramount we guard our children when there are those who would exploit
them in pornography, who would enslave them in human and sex
trafficking, and who would perpetrate this sickening crime upon them.

The Amy and Vicky Child Pornography Victim Restitution Act is one
more step in laying the full consequences of these heinous crimes upon
the perpetrators. While current law brings criminals to justice before
the courts, it can leave the victims to reconstruct their lives with
only limited resources on hand. This bill would make sure victims of
child pornography have what they need to rebuild and restore their
lives by making the perpetrators financially responsible.

Yet while it is a good and necessary step, nothing can ever truly be
done by the law or the courts to repair the damage that has been
wrought on these lives. We must stop it before it begins. So let us
help those who are in need of healing and stop those who would continue
this violence.
