Draft:Endangered Child Alert Program
Endangered Child Alert Program (ECAP) is a list maintained by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
Created in 2004 by the FBI, the program is designed to assist in identifying unknown individuals involved in child sexual exploitation cases online.[1][2] The initiative publishes images of suspects' faces and distinguishing features through the FBI website to solicit information from the public,[1] after exhausting efforts to identify the individual internally.[3] ECAP has aided in the identification and prosecution of multiple offenders, as well as the rescue and identification of child victims.[1] As of 2013, ECAP had successfully identified and prosecuted 15 individuals, and also identified at least 29 victims.[4] The FBI initially collaborated with the television program America's Most Wanted to broadcast the images nationwide.[5][6] In one of the first occurrences, a woman watching recognized her brother, who turned himself in.[6]
