The Internet Protection Agency Mission Statement To inspire and establish among responsible adults a culture of zero tolerance of online sexual exploitation of children, to provide the education and tools necessary to effectively combat the evils of online child enticement and child pornography, fueled by trust in God, the pursuit of justice for the wicked, and Outrage for the perversities of man forced upon the innocence of our children. The Internet is an important and powerful resource that can enrich our lives. But it also poses new and evolving dangers to our children. Children are increasingly targeted online by sexual predators and abused online by those who are producing child pornographic images. Internet predators and child pornography are profound evils that exploit children, shatter lives, and rob youth of their innocence.
Internet Protection Agency founders and cyber cops Chris Duff and Toby Aguillard are continually haunted by these evils. Fact is, the explosion in the production and trafficking of child pornography and the staggering numbers of Internet predators hunting our children online is nothing short of an epidemic confronting our country. Duff and Aguillard established the Internet Protection Agency as a means of fighting these evils and combating this epidemic.
The Internet is saturated with cowardly villains hiding in the shadows who are preying on our children daily. These child predators find their prey easily in part because an entire generation of today’s children are growing up in the digital age without guidance. At an early age we teach our children not to play on the street, but we have failed to teach today’s generation of “keyboard children” about the dangers of playing on the Internet. In the course of their cyber investigations, Duff and Aguillard have learned that the Internet predators are taking advantage of our failure as adults to teach Internet safety to our children. It is also clear that measures taken by law enforcement to this point are not enough. Everyone must join the fight to protect our children.
Duff and Aguillard established the Internet Protection Agency to inspire parents to face the new brutal threat that is posed to our children through the Internet. The IPA’s goal is to provide parents with access to the tools and information that they need to effectively protect their families. Duff and Aguillard believe that there is no grey area when it comes to protecting children, and every adult shares in this responsibility. The IPA will continue in its mission to establish a culture of zero tolerance towards Internet child predators and child pornography.
