From Pimping to International

Drug Trafficking

Children of the Night staff is joined by over 2000 Alumni who frequently call to share their successes and offer help with our younger clients.

Some our alumni call with new problems or because they are haunted by their pasts.

In the last two weeks, calls have come in

to request assistance in

prosecuting a pimp who raped and

pimped girls

when they were 14 years old.

At the time of the rape,

these children refused to file a police report

because they were scared.

First hurdle in trying to help them report the pimp/traffickers from years past

is the statue of limitations.

One such case is now a Mortgage Banker although he had been arrested for

"international drug trafficking."

To further complicate the case,

the FBI and Federal Courts

sentenced him to "house arrest" because he agreed to become their informant "Snitch".

When he violated "house arrest" the

Federal Court

ONLY reprimanded him and placed him back on "house arrest."

A baby was born

from the rape and his DNA matches the baby who is now 30 years old.

The day the baby was born the pimp

came to the hospital

to warn the mother

"if the baby and mother

ever entered his life

he would kill them both"

At 14 she gave the baby up for adoption

and came to live in the

Children of the Night Home.

Today that baby is 30 years old

and wants to meet her father

and her siblings!

The statute of limitations has run and the mother is powerless to prove the rape

even though the DNA matches.

These circumstances require

Children of the Night to

stay involved in the lives of the

women we have rescued from prostitution.

A woman just about to reach her 40th birthday called crying frantically.

She says she is a "bad mother", has terrible relationships and her life is in shambles.

She cannot shake the fear and obsession of the night a 16 year old girl invited her to a party and a pimp organized a gang rape.

She was only 14 years old.

Then the gang put the "green light" on her.

(Slang used by criminals to give the

go ahead to carry out a crime on another)

Her sister called

Children of the Night

in 1998 and we

arranged an airline ticket

for her to go home.

She can't stop thinking about it and wants to make an attempt to punish him and relieve her pain and anxiety.

She discovers she is just a few days short of the statute of limitations running.

We instruct her to file a police report -

and she does and it is now an active case.

We have confirmed that the pimp/trafficker

is a registered sex offender.

Sherry called from Perris, CA, desperate for help for herself

and her newborn.

Her pimp found her -10 years later

and he threatened to kill her

via Facebook Messenger.

He even included her address

and she knew she was no longer safe.

Our caller, like many of our callers,

did not want to involve the police.

Our case manager located a

Sex Trafficking Victims Residential Program and we transported Sherry and her baby via Lyft and she was placed by midnight.

Since her rescue, our case management team has helped her with mental health counseling, clothing, hygiene, and an appointment with our volunteer dermatologist for tattoo removals.

She has a high school diploma

so we are helping her with

resume preparation and job search.

Ronnie lived in our shelter home 5 years ago. Now he is 19 and wanted to start our online tutoring for the high school diploma, again!

We never give up on our kids.

We meet them where they are

no matter the circumstances.

We gave Ronnie the GED Practice Exam, and to our surprise, he successfully passed.

We scheduled Ronnie

for the GED Social Studies Exam,

which he passed.

Ronnie's next step is to test for the

GED Science Exam, and GED RLA test

which is scheduled for this week.

We expect Ronnie will be among

our high school graduates

during our ceremony in the fall.

Simultaneously Case Managers

have been helping Ronnie

with his resume and he has been hired at

an Assisted Living and Adult Day Care.

Once he obtains his GED,

our case management team will focus on helping Ronnie enroll in college.

Ronnie wants to get his Med Tech License and eventually become a nurse practitioner.

Above Our Tutors at Work with Prostituted Youth

Throughout America.

Jazmean, our Supervisor of Case Management has been working hard to

create a back to school event for

Children of the Night.

She knows that more kids hit the streets

and are noticeable once school starts and

they need as much encouragement as possible to go back to school.
