What was said
"The amount of resources that the U.S. government budgets in the space of child exploitation investigations versus narcotics investigations is 1/1000. So we place 1/1000 of priority and resources to protect children versus fight the war on drugs."
Moran disclosed a shocking disparity in federal resource allocation, with child exploitation investigations receiving one-thousandth the funding of drug enforcement efforts. This massive imbalance leaves Internet Crimes Against Children task forces overwhelmed with thousands of unaddressed cyber tips, each representing a potential victim and active predator.
