## Summary

**Protecting child victims** by expanding courtroom privacy and witness safety, strengthening restitution rules, and holding online platforms to stricter reporting and liability standards. This bill sharpens who gets protection and how victims are compensated and kept safe. - Families and child witnesses gain broader protections in federal proceedings. It adds kidnapping and “psychological abuse” to covered offenses, creates a detailed list of "protected information," and limits public disclosure with court-enforced safeguards. - Victims and survivors get clearer restitution paths and administration. The bill sets a baseline restitution for child-pornography production of $3,000 or 10% of losses if smaller, and lets courts appoint trustees or fiduciaries to hold and manage payments for minors, incapacitated victims, and certain foreign victims. - Online platforms face new reporting, preservation, and liability rules. Providers must report apparent child sexual exploitation to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children within 60 days, preserve related material, and face new civil remedies that can include liquidated damages of $300,000 plus fees. *Authorizes $25.0 million per year for court implementation and $15.0 million per year for restitution trustees, totaling $40.0 million in annual authorized appropriations.*

Victims could get a trustee to hold restitution, and courts could order payments into that trust. For child-pornography production convictions, courts would have a restitution baseline of…
