Rep. Cole Votes for Legislation to Prevent Crimes against Children

WASHINGTON, D.C.--Representative Tom Cole voted today for the Children's Safety and Violent Crime Reduction Act of 2005 (H.R. 4472) that will help prevent the sexual abuse and exploitation of children. This legislation passed in the House today and must now be debated in the Senate.

"It is heartbreaking that laws such of these are even necessary, but unfortunately there are perpetrators out there that harm and exploit young and innocent children. The Children's Safety Act will help protect children from by strengthening notification requirements for sex offenders and increasing criminal penalties. It is the least we can do to defend our children from violence," Congressman Tom Cole said.
