Kevin Branzetti, Co-Founder & CEO of the National Child Protection Task Force shares four ways you can protect your children from exploitation today.
The National Child Protection Task Force responds directly to the child exploitation crisis through rapid response law enforcement case assistance and Missing Child Rescue Operations, closing gaps left by overwhelmed systems and under-resourced agencies.
Through rapid response case assistance and Missing Child Rescue Operations, we work alongside local, state, and federal partners to uncover trafficking networks, locate vulnerable children, and help strengthen community-based systems of protection.
Every operation is designed to disrupt cycles of exploitation, locate children in danger, and create a pathway toward safety and healing.
Whether we’re investigating suspicious online activity or building a collaborative response across jurisdictions, our goal remains the same: making sure vulnerable children don't continue to fall through the cracks.
NCPTF's experts deploy to a community to help law enforcement and social services locate missing and exploited children.
We help communities better engage their most vulnerable children to understand their experiences and needs.

8 practical tips to help prevent child exploitation — from building trust and setting expectations to conversations and recognizing red flags. Written for parents by NCPTF CEO Kevin Branzetti, this guide offers real-world tools that protect kids through connection, not fear.
How can we keep our kids safe online? Life would be so much easier if we didn’t have to worry about online predators, but truth-be-told, if we don’t, we leave our children vulnerable.
It’s tempting to rely on monitoring apps and tools to keep our kids safe in the digital world, but the truth is, predators are often one step ahead, coaching children on how to bypass these protections. While these apps can provide valuable insights and open important conversations, they are just one piece of the puzzle. Real safety comes from active involvement, open communication, and building trust with our children. By engaging with their digital lives and creating a supportive environment, we empower them to make the right choices— even when we’re not looking.
