Stop Child Predators

What Stop Child Predators does

Stop Child Predators (SCP) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit advocacy organization founded in 2006 and headquartered in Washington, DC. Its mission is to protect children from sexual exploitation through three core activities: drafting model legislation, building multi-stakeholder coalitions, and educating policymakers and the public. SCP's flagship legislative achievement is Jessica's Law, a model statute mandating minimum 25-year prison sentences and lifetime electronic monitoring for adults convicted of lewd acts against children under 13, which SCP reports has been adopted in 46 states and at the federal level. The organization also led 18 ballot initiatives in 11 states, authored Masha's Law (2006), and contributed to the Invest in Child Safety Act with Sen. Ron Wyden.

SCP serves a horizontal set of stakeholders rather than a commercial customer base: federal and state legislators and their staff are the primary audience for its advocacy work, while law enforcement agencies, parents, and the general public are secondary audiences reached through coalition-building, media engagement, and grassroots mobilization. The organization has no commercial products, patents, or proprietary technology; its "platform" is its legislative track record, its ALEC membership, and its leadership network. Funding is sourced from charitable donations and grants, with no products or services sold.

In 2024, SCP launched the Digital Safety Project to extend its mandate from real-world child exploitation into online protection, engaging with private-sector platforms and federal policymakers on issues such as age verification, content moderation, and social media risks to minors. The organization participates in major tech-policy forums (e.g., State of the Net Conference 2024) and has testified in Congress on child-safety legislation. As of January 15, 2026, Maureen Flatley was appointed President while founder Stacie Rumenap continues as CEO, formalizing an operational leadership split.
