Defenders For Children offers programs that bring ongoing education and awareness. We raise funds to donate Electronic Detection K9s to law enforcement agencies dealing with horrible crimes against children. The K9s are a new and needed powerful tool that assists law enforcement in locating hidden electronic evidence missed during searches. We know offenders and criminals will hide what they do not want to be found. One tiny missed micro SD card can be the evidence to prosecute the criminal and rescue hundreds of children while holding millions of images and videos of children being hurt. With the number of predators on the loose and cases growing at alarming rates, we must do what we can to stop the offenders from hurting a child. One Solid piece of evidence located by our K9s can help STOP individuals, traffickers, pornographers, murderers, and more.   Did You Know?

• Out of thousands of Registered Non-Profits in South Carolina, Defenders For Children was recognized as a 2022 South Carolina Secretary of State "Angels" for the most efficient and effective charities soliciting in South Carolina. 
• Our Electronic Detection K9s have located an estimated 2300 or more hidden electronic devices missed by law enforcement during searches.
• The devices include micro SD cards, burner phones, thumb drives, and hidden cameras. 
• One Device located can hold millions of horrible images and videos of children being abused.
• When solid evidence is presented, many children or victims do not have to be retraumatized in court.
• Many child sex crime cases do not make it to court due to a lack of evidence. Our K9s help locate solid evidence, finding, on average, two hidden devices per search.
• According to the Child Rescue Coalition, 70% of child abusers have 1 to 150 victims each.
• We place the K9s with law enforcement agencies, the Children's Crime Unit, the Internet Crimes Against Children Taskforce, and the Probation, Parole, and Pardon Services.
• The K9s are therapeutic for the victims who are part of these horrible crimes and those who investigate the crimes. 
• In November 2022, we donated the first State Level Electronic Detection K9 to Probation and parole agency in the U.S. The K9 will locate evidence in the homes of existing registered sex offenders, and we hope that this will become a deterrent to those prior offenders. The K9 has located over 230 Devices within eight months.
• Each K9 can help Rescue children currently being abused & and stop those who have been hurting them for eight to ten years.  
• We combat the growing rate of child abuse, trafficking, and child pornography by deterring and stopping those who are hurting the children.  

Once the K9 is placed with an agency, the agency takes over the expenses for the remaining years.We attract positive press attention.Are you ready to help protect all children from horrible crimes?
