Increase of Child Exploitation Investigations
The articles show child welfare/abuse systems being overwhelmed by rising caseloads (consistent with increased investigations straining resources), but they focus on state/local child welfare systems rather than specifically on federal law enforcement agents, prosecutors, or officials publicly pushing back on federal handling of exploitation cases. None directly confirm or meet the falsification criteria regarding federal resource diversion or official pushback.
What would prove this wrong
Federal resources devoted to child exploitation investigations increase or hold steady without the described diversion, or if no current or former officials publicly push back on federal law enforcement's handling of these cases.
