Our hotline receives telephone calls from children who have been raped, beaten, overdosed on drugs, and are trying to escape the streets. Children who call locally are counseled over the telephone while they wait for a taxi to transport them to our home.
Children calling from other states are rescued and placed in local shelters. In most cases, there is a lack of specialized services for child prostitutes, and many are brought
to Children of the Night from other states to benefit from our comprehensive services.
