Kozakiewicz is the founder of the Alicia Project, an advocacy group designed to raise awareness about online predators, abduction, and child sexual exploitation.

[5] At the age of 13, Kozakiewicz was the first known victim of an Internet luring and child abduction that received widespread media attention.

[6] Her story and message have been chronicled on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Good Morning America, Dr. Phil,[7] CNN, MSNBC, and the A&E Biography Channel.

[10] Her parents, Mary and Charles Kozakiewicz, were unable to take a commercial flight to reunite with their daughter due to the heightened media attention.

[25] The controversy became moot in October 2019, when Tyree was returned to prison for an additional two years for violating the terms of his parole by visiting pornographic sites.

[29] The Alicia Project is an advocacy group that raises awareness and provides education on topics such as Internet safety for children, the prevalence of online child predators, and abductions.

[2] In 2007, she testified before the House Judiciary Committee in an effort to raise awareness of the importance of Internet laws to protect children.

In some cases, state and local agencies are able to pull finances accumulated from misdemeanor and felony convictions, while others employ mechanisms such as unclaimed lottery funding.

This money is used for training, task forces, research, and rescue efforts for law enforcement agencies seeking child sexual exploitation victims.

[32] Kozakiewicz's work has been acknowledged by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children who honored her with the Courage Award in 2007.

Kozakiewicz has trained the FBI National Academy, offering insight as part of the "Youth Violence: Victims and Perpetrators" program.

Kozakiewicz has expressed concern about the American Data Privacy and Protection Act (a bill proposed in Congress in 2022) and its potential effect on law enforcement efforts to quickly investigate and solve child abduction cases.

Although she supports the majority of the provisions in this bill, Kozakiewicz worries that "If the current version of the American Data Privacy and Protection Act had been in place when [she] was held captive, it may have been nearly impossible for law enforcement to find [her] and identify [her] captor as quickly as it did, if at all.
