So committee will come to order. Without objection recess at any time. We will begin the subcommittee hearing with the gentleman from california. The pledge of allegiance. Thank you. We welcome everyone to todays hearing on the exploitation of children in United States and abroad. I now recognize myself for an opening statement. I am grateful all of you are here today both the witnesses the member of the committee and then also the audience. We appreciate you being here. I wish we did not have to hold a hearing on this topic. That would mean children in our country and abroad are safe from exploitation. Unfortunately that is not the case. It is a fact our children are not safe online. And it is unacceptable. Predators use the internet to trick and exploit innocent children. Children are trafficked. Through social media apps. This is the worst type of evil. To our strong survivor leaders in the room and watching from afar we see you, we hear you and your Voice Matters and we appreciate
