[Q]: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Adolescent Web Awareness Requires
Education Act'' or the ''AWARE Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) The Internet is an invaluable tool that is critical to
the ability of the Nation to compete in a global economy. The
Internet provides instant access to research and boundless
information and connects individuals around the world.
(2) About 93 percent of youth ages 12 through 17 years use
online services regularly and nearly 45 percent of children
ages 3 to 11 years will use the Internet on a monthly basis in
2009. Eighty-nine percent of teens have a profile on social
networking sites. Eighty percent of teens ages 13 through 17
years use cell phones, most of which have built-in cameras.
(3) Bullying in schools can take many forms, including
sending insulting, threatening, or offensive messages via
Internet sites, email, instant messaging, cell phone text
messaging, telephone, or any other electronic messaging system.
(4) In a recent survey, 1 in 5 teenagers stated that they
had used their cell phones to send explicit photos of
themselves to a peer, a practice commonly known as ''sexting''.
In most States, such conduct can subject young adults to felony
child pornography charges and the potential punishment of
registering as a sex offender.
(5) The Internet has facilitated the growth of a
multibillion dollar global market for child pornography, far
exceeding the capacity of law enforcement to respond at the
Federal, State, and local level.
(6) Internet safety education, coupled with technology
tools, is the most effective way to resolve and prevent these
crimes and other dangers committed on the Internet and in other
new media.
(7) According to an empirical study of 1,379 fourth grade
students in Virginia, the first State to mandate Internet
safety education in its schools, the students improved their
responses to 8 of 10 Internet safety scenarios after completing
an Internet safety education program, with the greatest
improvement in uncomfortable content and cyberbullying.
(8) The enactment of the Children's Internet Protection Act
(Public Law 106-554; 114 Stat. 2763A-336) mandated that schools
implement Internet safety policies and technology protection
measures in order to receive discounts to obtain affordable
telecommunications and Internet access. Most schools have now
developed acceptable use policies and have implemented
filtering and other technology-based solutions to help protect
children.
(9) However, less than 25 percent of educators feel
comfortable teaching students how to protect themselves from
online predators, bullies, and identity thieves, according to a
recent study by the National Cyber Security Alliance and
Educational Technology Policy, Research, and Outreach. The same
study found that 90 percent of educators have received less
than 6 hours of professional development on issues related to
online security in the past year. As a result, many students
receive little or no education on safe and responsible use of
the Internet and other new media.
(10) The widespread use of the Internet, cell phones,
interactive gaming, and other electronic communication devices
by children both inside and outside of schools suggests that
acceptable use policies and filtering alone cannot resolve
Internet safety concerns and that a greater focus on education
would be beneficial.
(11) In a national poll on children's health, parents
ranked Internet safety fifth among their top health concerns
for children. Yet according to a Common Sense Media poll
conducted in 2006, almost 90 percent of parents say that they
lack the knowledge about how to protect their children online.
For this reason, educating parents about Internet safety is key
to empowering them to understand actual risks and to take an
active role in protecting their children.
(12) The problem of online harassment, or cyberbullying, of
youth by other youths is widespread and results in a range of
children's experiences from minor irritation to severe
emotional harm. The Bureau of Justice Statistics has found that
online harassment tends to begin in third and fourth grade,
peaks in seventh and eighth grade, and continues in reduced
amounts throughout high school, college, and professional
school.
(13) Gang members increasingly are using the Internet as a
recruitment tool to entice would-be members and as an
intimidation tool to threaten rival gangs. Gang members use the
Internet, in particular, to promote their message.
(14) More research is needed in several areas of youth
online safety, including--
(A) the prevention of minor-to-minor solicitation
and other inappropriate use of the Internet;
(B) the prevention of the creation of problematic
content by youths;
(C) the protection of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and
transgender youth and youth with disabilities that may
be particularly vulnerable;
(D) the interplay between socioeconomic class and
risk factors;
(E) the role that pervasive digital image and video
capture devices play in harassment of youth by other
youth and youth production of problematic content;
(F) the intersection of different mobile and
Internet-based technologies; and
(G) the online activities of registered sex
offenders.
(b) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are to--
(1) facilitate research and identify best practices in
Internet safety education for youth, parents, and education
officials; and
(2) establish a competitive grant program for State
education agencies, local educational agencies, and nonprofit
organizations to institute best practices relating to Internet
education and the research-based recommendations derived from
the study conducted under this Act.

TITLE I--CRIMINAL PROHIBITION

SEC. 101. FINDINGS AND DECLARATIONS.

Congress finds and declares that operating or embarking in a
submersible vessel or semi-submersible vessel without nationality and
