National Child Protection Act

The National Child Protection Act is a law that helps prevent child abuse and exploitation by establishing a system to check the backgrounds of individuals working with children. It creates a national database to screen foster and adoptive parents, teachers, and caregivers, ensuring they haven't committed crimes related to child safety. The act aims to protect children by promoting safer environments and providing justice for victims. It also encourages cooperation between federal, state, and local agencies to effectively safeguard children across the country.
