-4 (i)   The internet crimes against children task
-5 force program, through the United States department of
-6 justice, helps state and local law enforcement agencies
-7 develop an effective response to technology-facilitated

-19 result, many of the cases involving internet crimes against
-20 children are not adequately investigated. It is the intent
