Buffalo, NY – U-S Senator Charles Schumer wants to protect kids from being exploited over the Internet by sex offenders. Schumer unveiled two new bills in Buffalo yesterday aimed at protecting kids from sex offenders on the Internet.
Schumer says the KIDS Act would increase the scrutiny of on-line activities of sex offender and requires them to register e-mail address.
Then a second bill, the SAFE Act, would compel Internet service providers, like AOL, to bring child-porn trafficking to the attention of authorities.
Schumer says in Erie County alone there are more than 600 registered sex offenders and nearly 1,400 living across Western New York.
