Since 1979, we have been rescuing children and young people from prostitution and sexual exploitation.
Our Mission
Children of the Night is a privately funded non-profit organization established in 1979 with the specific purpose to provide intervention in the lives of children who are sexually exploited and vulnerable to or involved in prostitution and pornography.
Since 1979, we have rescued more than 10,000 children from prostitution in the United States—more than all other sex trafficking programs combined.
Offering these children the specialized treatment and education they need to escape the streets and lead fulfilling, productive lives.
The only comprehensive program in North America devoted to saving children forced into prostitution.
And to date, 70% are leading successful adult lives across various careers.
Children of the Night is the only place in America where a child can call from a seedy motel or truck stop anywhere in the United States, reach a skilled case worker 24/7 who knows how to rescue and relocate a child or young person from a dangerous condition without being arrested by the police and held on Witness Protection in solitary confinement until they testify against a pimp/trafficker. Our 24/7 nationwide toll-free case management services are comprehensive and able to help anyone trapped on the streets of our nation.
We operate a 24-hour, nationwide, toll-free hotline to help children still on the streets. Call (800) 551-1300
Established in 2011, Without Walls (WOW) brings Children of the Night’s unique, groundbreaking educational and social services to sex-trafficked children wherever they are, offering them an opportunity to escape life on the streets permanently.
Children of the Night maintains a caseload of hundreds of children and young people. Children are provided access to a suite of services ranging from shelter referrals, medical services, mental health services, transportation, placement in independent living programs, transitional housing, maternity homes or substance abuse programs.
Dr. Lee’s expertise in child sex trafficking is unmatched. It is therefore incumbent upon her to broaden and refocus efforts to help sex trafficking victims globally.
