 The Adam Walsh Child Protection & Safety Act of 2006
The Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006 created a new National Child Abuse
Registry to be used by child protective service professionals to conduct background checks of
adoptive and foster parents. In addition, the Act also expanded the National Sex Offender
Registry and strengthened federal penalties for crimes against children, such as child
prostitution or sex trafficking, and authorized regional taskforces to help local law
enforcement combat sexual exploitation of minors on the Internet.
