Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth Interview with Dr. Lois Lee, Founder & President, “Children of the Night”,  about child sex trafficking

About Harvey's guests:

Today’s guest, Dr. Lois Lee, has dedicated her entire career to rescuing and protecting victims of child sex trafficking.  

She is the founder and President of a groundbreaking and vitally important non-profit organization called Children of the Night, which was the first and still one of very few organizations in the world, devoted to the development of comprehensive specialized programs and education, for child sex trafficking victims, who need critical intervention to break away from the abuse they’ve suffered, and have a chance to live a safe, happy, successful life.  Since its creation in 1979, Children of the Night has operated a variety of programs for America’s prostituted children, including a 24-hour toll-free nationwide hotline, a drop-in center in Los Angeles, street programs throughout the Western United States, and a world-class shelter home in California where over 3,000 children have lived and received comprehensive case management and onsite schooling.  

Since 1979, Children of the Night has rescued over 10,000 American children from prostitution, which makes this organization the most prominent and successful anti-child sex trafficking program in the world.  

Our guest is the world’s leading expert in rescuing child sex trafficking victims.  She holds a PhD in Sociology and Anthropology and is a lawyer and active member of the California State Bar.  She has trained thousands of law enforcement personnel and is frequently called upon to provide expert testimony in high profile prosecutions of child sex traffickers.  Her pioneering work with child sex trafficking victims has been a blueprint for academics, researchers, law enforcement, social service providers and legislators throughout the world.   

She’s received many prestigious awards for her groundbreaking work, most notably the President’s Volunteer Action Award, presented to her by President Ronald Reagan, the Children’s Friend Award from Childhelp, the Women’s Achievement Award from the Dashew International Center for Students and Scholars at UCLA, the “Award of Appreciation” from The Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and the National Caring Award.  And her portrait hangs in the Frederick Douglass Museum and Hall of Fame for Caring Americans in Washington, D.C..  

Our guest has been profiled on the CBS TV show, “60 Minutes”, and her life was portrayed in a 1985 TV movie entitled “Children of the Night,” starring Kathleen Quinlan.
