Strategic moves

I’ve been talking to Jake Collins, founder of Tiny Stars. He explained his strategy for catching child molesters. It makes sense.

 Thousands of american men go over seas every year to have sex with children. Why? because it is easier to get away with it than if they stayed in the States. In the past there were no laws in place to prosecute them in the states if they committed this crime out of the country. Thanks to the Protect Act, a law signed into law by President
Bush, that has changed.  Tiny Stars is the only agency using the Protect Act to it’s fullest advantage. They are catching americans who rape children, on both sides of the border, outside of the U.S..  These are people who molest children in the states as well, but with more stealth. When they are caught in another country their sentence is harsher then when they are caught here.

When they are caught molesting a child under 14 they get a life sentence. For under 18, 1st offence- 20 years. 2nd offencs -life sentence.

Often people want to know when they give to  Tiny Stars that it will help their community. If a company in Texas sponsors an agent in Costa Rica  that agent is likely to catch a pedophile from Texas. In fact they are likely to catch something like 50 ped0philes from the states in a year.  For example, if a company sponsors an agent in their community in Texas (or where ever)  for the same amount of money they will catch pedophiles and it is definitely effective. Just not as effective. For one thing it cost more to hire agents in the states and for another the perps are more careful. They might ended up catching more like five in one year.

Tiny Stars will work both ways, depending on what a company wants but donors should be aware of how to most effectively use their money to impact this issue in a big way.
