Children of the Night: Rescuing America’s Children from Prostitution

Children of the Night works to help children between 11 and 17 who are forced into prostitution for survival. Girls and boys have been pulled from prostitution and rescued from the domination of pimps for over 30 years now.

Partnered with a small group of FBI agents, detectives, and prosecutors, Children of the Night works to bring a stop to the child prostitution circuit. The majority of children who fall into child prostitution are used to being abused by a parent or guardian, or even a vicious pimp, against whom many of the children testify against. After being pulled from prostitution, many children need assistance or a home to go to since many don’t have the resources that most children need. Children of the Night works to help these children move into everyday society.

Child Prostitution is More of a Problem Than You’d Think

Modern child prostitution has become more complicated than ever. Pimps are becoming increasingly sophisticated at recruiting children that they force into prostitution.

Homeless teens who are alone are those who need are most susceptible to falling into child prostitution. Pimp promises of riches lure them to a distant city where they are forced into prostitution as means of survival. Children of the Night targets these pimps to protect the children.
