Millions of American students are being encouraged to study abroad on President Obama's 100,000 strong initiatives and other middle, high school and college level programs.
No laws protect them!
There is no federal oversight, no qualifications, no standards, no sanctions against poor performers, or transparent reporting on a program's safety record!
Programs, including universities who receive our tax dollars, refuse to speak to parents whose child is hurt or killed overseas. Parents are forced to sue to get information.
Programs investigate themselves. We have NO recourse when our kids are raped, abused, scammed or killed.
WE NEED LAWS NOW to protect our kids!
