Behind all the cameras prosecutors, police and social workers listen to each childs story together so a victim only has to tell it once. We get right now about 40,000 there thefrom the Crime Victims Fund. Reporter is that enough . In my opinion that is not enough. Reporter takes more than 750,000 a year to run a center like this. We could be providing more services. Reporter the National Crime victims fund is supposed to make that possible for organizations like mission kids. Since 1985 congress has collected billions in restitution and fines from criminals. Every dime must legally go to causes that help victims of crime. But in 2000 congress put a cap on how much money the fund hands out each year. According to federal spending records, the Crime Victims Fund had 12 billion in just the last four years. But crime victims saw just 30 of it. The senate and congressional subcommittees on commerce justice, and science, are in charge of managing the fund. Its robbing crime victims. You know . So that members of congress can spend more money on their favorite pet programs. Reporter u. S. Senator pat toomey of pennsylvania takes issue with capping how much money goes to crime victims. He questions why the same senators and congressmen who decide how much is spent on victims of crime approve spending on other questionable items. The Crime Victims Fund is part of a larger pool of money that pays for items like the tee apartment of justice and nasa while lawmakers limit how much money goes to crime victims, the nbc 10 investigators found that pool of money paying for things hike a Grammy Museum in cleveland, mississippi, for 1. 25 million. 544,000 for premium linkedin accounts a the defarmtpartment of jus kiss. 856,000 on a study to see if a Mountain Lion could be taught to use a treadmill. Republicans and democrats have been guilty of misusing this fund. There are republicans and democrats who believe this should come to on end. Reporter chaka fattah and chris coons are two that sit on the committee in charge of the Crime Victims Fund. He says theres a reason its capped. I think theres concerns among some members of the committee that we not spend all of it too quickly. Reporter both said they support releasing more of the money to crime victims. During a phone victim congressman fatah said, im in the minority in the house. The way our process works is the majority has its way. The first thing you should do in my business is not take responsibility for things youre not responsible for. Senator coons said every member of the committee is responsible for how the fund is spent. Second we need to get through the budget politics of holding back some of this fund. Reporter the republican chairmen of the house and Senate Subcommittees in charge of the Crime Victims Fund did not return repeated requests to answer our questions. In Montgomery County mission kids and its executive directors say more money would be put to good use. I would hope that our elected ed officials in washington would see fit to release more of that money to help at a minimum child victims of sexual and physical abuse. Now last year the Crime Victims Fund sent more than 30 million combined to pennsylvania new jersey and delaware. That is a fraction of what was available.
