After passage was thwarted last year, Texas Republican Sen. John Cornyn and Democratic Sen. Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire re-introduced the Jenna Quinn Law on Thursday, a bill designed to curb child sex abuse.
The Jenna Quinn Law would allow current grant funds from the Department of Justice to educate and train students, teachers, caregivers and other adults who work with children to recognize, report and prevent child sex abuse. It is named after Jenna Quinn, who was abused by her father s best friend beginning when she was 13.

Democratic congressman to introduce sweeping child abuse prevention bill Monday
Democratic Rep. Bobby Scott of Virginia will introduce a child abuse prevention bill in the House on Monday, his office told CNN, setting up deliberations for a considerable child welfare investment as experts warn of an increasingly dire situation for at-risk kids.
The Stronger Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act represents a legislative overhaul of the flagship bill addressing child welfare in the US. The new legislation would require the US Department of Health and Human Services to establish national standards for tracking and reporting child fatalities along with near-fatalities as a result of maltreatment.
