The various agencies will join forces under HSI to address online as well as other crimes where children are victimized.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cPredators in our community should know that the next time they attempt to entice our children online they may be speaking instead to a member of our task force; and we will find you,\u201d said Shane Folden, Special Agent In Charge in San Antonio for Homeland Security Investigations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Teaming up the investigative and prosecutorial capabilities of the various agencies gives task force officers the ability to target predators wherever they may be. Task force officers will be able to prosecute the cases in federal or state court depending on the case. While online predators play a big role, authorities will also target\u00a0other forms of child exploitation including human trafficking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The location of the predators could place an obstacle to some agencies if the predator is in another country. By pooling resources, the task force officers have more opportunities to\u00a0hunt them down.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cHomeland Security Investigations has an international presence and we are ready to leverage whatever assets we need to bring these individuals to justice,\u201d said HSI <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Assistant Special Agent in Charge Kevin Benson.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In 2015, HSI agents in South Texas worked about 100 cases that led to 53 arrests, Benson said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In the past, a parent gathered his children in the evening, locked the doors and could feel safe, that has now changed with the advancement of technology, said Cameron County District Attorney Luis Saenz.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Holding up a smart phone, Saenz said, \u201cNowadays with this, you could have a sexual predator right in your living room or in your child\u2019s bedroom and not know about it.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Of particular concern to Saenz is the fact that predatory behavior tends to escalate.
