MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Gov. Scott Walker has signed six bills designed to curtail child abuse and sex trafficking in Wisconsin. The bills require the state to develop a procedure for investigating abuse of a disabled child; create the crime of repeated physical abuse of a child; and expand the definition of child sex trafficking to include transporting a child for commercial sex. The remaining measures require the state, county social services and child welfare agencies to report a missing child to police within eight hours; transfer $1 million from drug enforcement and the state’s crime labs to combat Internet crimes against children; and make parents who photograph nude children for sexual arousal guilty of a felony. Walker signed the bills Tuesday at various stops at law enforcement facilities around the state.
