Tim Tebow Highlights Widespread U.S. Child Exploitation Crisis

Tim Tebow, former NFL player and founder of the Tim Tebow Foundation, has brought urgent attention to the pervasive issue of child exploitation in the United States during a series of interviews, including one on "The Shawn Ryan Show." Tebow revealed that biological fathers, often middle-aged, educated Caucasian men with good jobs, are the leading offenders of child sexual abuse. He presented a map showing over 111,000 unique IP addresses across the U.S. involved in downloading and distributing child abuse images of children under 12 within just 30 days, highlighting that 55-85% of these offenders are also hands-on abusers with an average of 13 victims each. Tebow emphasized that this crisis is not confined to foreign countries but is prevalent domestically, calling on the U.S. government to increase efforts to combat these crimes, including supporting legislation like the Renewed Hope Act to enhance resources for pursuing sex criminals. His foundation has contributed to rescuing missing children and works alongside national and federal partners to protect vulnerable children. Tebow’s advocacy has sparked public dialogue and calls for declaring the child exploitation epidemic a national emergency.
