CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT
Children of the night is a private non-profit tax organization founded in 1979 and helps benefit children ages 11-17 who are forced into child prostitution. After doing my first chunk of research, I really do support this organization and really hope that many other people feel as passionately as i do about helping these innocent children. This organization makes differences in 100s of children’s lives each year, and that right there says a lot about the people who volunteer their time effort and lives to help these distressed children. Many of the people who work for this organization also have to testify in courts against the pimps who kidnapped and forced these children to have sex. What strong human beings these volunteering women and men are.
- “Child prostitutes require specialized care for effective intervention. Most of the children victimized by prostitution were first victimized by a parent or early caregiver. Most have been tortured by treacherous pimps, and many testify in lengthy court proceedings against the pimps who have forced them to work as prostitutes.”
- “In most cases these children do not have appropriate homes to return to, and the only relative who is a suitable guardian may live far away from the child’s hometown. For many the only option is an out of home placement, college dorm, maternity home or mental health program”
