so yes, it has about $200,000 a year, and the national center on elder abuse has about $500,000 a year, and that's a pittance compared to other resource centers addressing other issues, and really not enough to do what people out there on the front lines and in various communities and families need. - we've been getting the overview, and as you know, it is such a personal issue affecting so many individuals, so we would like to play for you some excerpts from an orange county elder abuse support group and then to get your reaction. we're gonna hear from ruth. she's a woman in her seventies. she lives with her 52-year-old son, and she says she's been repeatedly abused by her son. let's take a look. - when it escalated, how did that happen? how did it escalate? - he was drinking. and i think when he drinks, sometimes, there's drugs involved, too, but i can't prove it. he came in and i was-- i was probably a little loud, too, because i was angry at him, and so he came at me. and he had a knife and said, "i can slice your throat." many other times, he's accused he's going to break my neck

joining me now, john ryan from the national center of missing and exploited children. you so much for joining us. i know we can't talk specifically about your organization's role in this latest operation. but i do want to talk about sex trafficking, specifically here in the united states. so before we talk, let me just play this clip from -- a little bit more from the fbi's news conference today. >> i can tell you that we've had significant activity around the ncaa final four. around super bowl in the past. and we have had children recovered from each of those events. multiple children from each of those events in the past. so that we see a gathering of people with excess money and interested in the festivities and the frolic that go around high-profile sporting events, and this seems to be a part of that. >> john, let me just ask you, you know, in your experience, how do these -- these victims, these young women, 13, 14, 15, 16 years of age, how do they get picked up by these pimps so brazenly? >> many of these young girls are targeted through social media platforms b

right, so our organization is the contractor to samhsa and cofunded by the children's bureau, the national center on substance abuse and child welfare. in that role, we have seen many things happen that the systems are working together in different ways to identify earlier so that families that may get a first report of neglect. most kids and most families that come to the attention of the child welfare system are there for reasons of neglect rather than abuse or sexual abuse. in fact, we've made great strides in the country in the last decade at reducing the numbers of kids with physical and sexual abuse, and yet we haven't really changed that number on how many kids are in the neglect category of those reports. typically, we see that there are several reports before child welfare steps in active services. there may be some investigations that go on. they are very adept now at being able to look at risk and safety factors for the child, to understand when that child is in imminent risk. what is "imminent risk"? so that our audience understands what we're talking about. child welfare, cps workers

yeah, you asked earlier about some of the things that the national center is doing and we're happy that there is this kind of approach, that is relatively new, just starting in 1996, but it really takes the child protective service system and the family court and the substance abuse treatment providers and addresses the whole family. so, just as fran was saying, the importance of collaboration. what does that actually mean when you're working with a particular family and importantly what does that mean for all of the families. so it uses some key concepts about making sure that we can identify families with substance abuse and mental health problems as they're entering the child protective service system quicker, getting them access to services quicker. making sure that each of the family members has a support system, has a treatment plan when needed. uses the court, the family court to more carefully monitor what is going on in the treatment plan, particularly around the parent and their substance use disorder and the child and how the child's permanency and the relationships that they

i am proud to be associated with the national center for entrepreneurship and innovation, a group of like-minded people who believe is vital that we restore entrepreneurship as a shared an enduring value in america. it is why i am proud to be engaged in micro finance here and around the world to help give people a chance to lift themselves and their families left, poverty.in the few minute what do we do so we do not boil the frog to death? what do we do so instead of choking the life out of the economy and a special place we unlock the potential of all of those frustrated entrepreneurs and innovators? i think there are four basic policy prescriptions. well i have been critical of washington, there are small glimmers of hope. first we need tax reform. not just lowering rates, although that is important since our tax rates are now the highest in the world. but radical simplification. tax reform has bipartisan support. i am heartened by the efforts senator orrin hatch and max baucus, two good friends of mine and two good men who are starting with the fundamental notion that they will wi

it's not just the fbi who have worked with the national center for missing and exploited children since 2003, but it's their 270 other partners, local and state law enforcement agencies who got together to catch about 150 pimps who bring these underaged girls from state to state, terrorizing them. and released and got 105 children out of this nightmare. many of them are for other countries and brought in here. fbi said at least 50 countries bring children in here to be used in sex trafficking and child prostitution. >> we know that 76 cities were involved. it seems a huge number. are you surprised by that? is this going on in every city in america? >> absolutely, piers. i mean, people expect it to go on in india, cambodia, gun shows from there, malaysia, vietnam, yes. those are third world countries and it does exist there. the united states is the number one offender of sex trafficking of children, and the number one buyer of exploitation of children involved in sex trafficking. and it -- i think people have got to realize that this is just the tip of the iceberg, that these law enforc
