Florida�s 67 Sheriffs used Missing Children�s Day to declare war on online predators. In the past eleven months, seven stings have resulted in 177 arrests. Association Vice President, Sheriff Susan Benton of Highlands County, says online predators are perpetrating a crime that often goes unnoticed by parents until is too late.

“When we capture an internet predator, we save a child,” Benton said. “We save a child and we save a parent from the anguish and suffering that they would normally be a part of for this.”

In addition to conducting arrest operations, Sheriffs, through school resource officers, have conducted training for more than two hundred thousand students.
