Tim Tebow Delivers Heart-Wrenching Testimony About Vulnerable And Exploited Children
The Tim Tebow Foundation is rallying bipartisan support to champion the Renewed Hope Act of 2024. A bill that will help identify and locate the
More than 50,000 unidentified children seen in images who are being abused, raped, and tortured.
Their images are sitting in a global database and these children are waiting, hoping and praying that someone will identify them.
There’s no time to wait, the time to take action is now.
The Renewed Hope Act of 2024
This bill will build a rescue team of analysts to locate and protect the children seen in sexually abusive imagery at the global level. The Renewed Hope Act of 2024 would enhance the Homeland Security Investigations capabilities by:
-
DEDICATED CHILD EXPLOITATION WORKFORCE: Requiring the hiring, training, and assigning at least 200 investigators, computer forensics, and criminal analysts to the Child Exploitation Investigations Unit and HSI field offices. As well as giving the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) authorization to hire and assign contracts and temporary experts and consultants to support victim identification and location efforts.
-
CENTER OF EXCELLENCE: Requiring the Secretary of Homeland Security to establish procedures for agencies within the DHS to deconflict, coordinate, and synchronize child sexual exploitation investigations with HSI C3.
-
SUSTAINED TRAINING: Authorizing HSI’s victim identification training program to be used to provide training in new and advanced victim identification technology to ICE personnel, as well as Federal, State, local, military, and foreign law enforcement.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does advocacy at TTF look like?
TTF's Anti-Human Trafficking and Child Exploitation team advocate in the halls of Congress, educating public officials about the scope and scale of these human rights abuses against children. Our goal is to have the greatest impact for children and that means engaging with Government to scale solutions and rescue children in every community.
What kind of legislation does TTF work on?
TTF focuses our efforts on issues relating to anti-human trafficking and child exploitation by increasing funding for anti-trafficking efforts in Latin America, Africa, and the US to support Victim Identification.
