About
NEW STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS FORCED CHILDREN INTO FOSTER CARE OR SOLITARY CONFINEMENT IN DETENTION.CHILDREN IN FOSTER CARE WERE UNABLE TO ACCESS SHELTERS VOLUNTARILY AND RAN FROM FOSTER HOMES. MOST CHILDREN'S SHELTERS ABANDONED THEIR TRADITIONAL INTAKE PROCEDURES WHICH ONLY REQUIRED PARENTAL CONSENT BY TELEPHONE FOR IMMEDIATE ADMISSION INTO THEIR SHELTERS.IN 2018, EVERYTHING CHANGED. SHELTERS REQUIRED GOVERNMENT PHOTO IDENTIFICATION AND SOMETIMES TB TESTS PRIOR TO ADMISSION. MANY CONTRACTED WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES AND/OR ACCEPTED FEDERAL FUNDS. (SEE SCHEDULE O FOR CONTINUATION)FEDERALLY FUNDED PROGRAMS WERE REQUIRED TO REPORT CHILD SEX TRAFFICKING VICTIMS TO THE FEDERALLY FUNDED TRAFFICKING HOTLINE WHICH RESULTED IN AN ARMED FBI RESPONSE.IF THE CHILD WAS INVOLVED WITH A PIMP/TRAFFICKER SHE WAS PLACED IN SOLITARY CONFINEMENT WITHIN JUVENILE HALL AND HELD UNTIL SHE TESTIFIED AGAINST A PIMP/TRAFFICKER - SOMETIMES FOR TWO YEARS. UPON COMPLETION OF HER TESTIMONY SHE WAS RELEASED TO FOSTER CARE OR HOMELESS SHELTERS DEPENDENT ON ONE CRITERION - HER AGE AT TIME OF RELEASE.IF IT WAS DETERMINED THERE WAS NO PIMP INVOLVED, SHE WAS PLACED IN THE CARE OF SOCIAL WORKERS AND DECLARED A DEPENDENT OF THE COURT UNABLE TO OBTAIN MEDICAL CARE OR ENROLL IN SCHOOL WITHOUT THE SOCIAL WORKERS CONSENT.CHILD SEX TRAFFICKING VICTIMS WERE ON THE RUN - CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT WENT AFTER THEM NO MATTER THEIR LIVING CONDITIONS OR LOCATION.RESIDENTIAL PROGRAMS WERE A THING OF A PAST AND CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT SCRAMBLED TO DEVELOP GROUNDBREAKING PROGRAMS TO REACH THESE CHILDREN. WE WERE BACK ON THE STREETS LOOKING FOR OUR CHILDREN DEVELOPING RELATIONSHIPS WITH SEX WORKERS WHERE MANY OF THESE CHILDREN SOUGHT REFUGE.PARENTS LOST THEIR PARENTAL RIGHTS AND WERE NO LONGER ALLOWED TO REFER THEIR CHILDREN TO CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT IF THEIR CHILD WAS CAUGHT PROSTITUTING. PARENTS REFERRED MOST OF OUR CHILD SEXTRAFFICKING VICTIMS OVER THE PAST 40 YEARS! THE PRESUMPTION WAS THAT A PARENT OF A SEX TRAFFICKED CHILD IS A BAD PARENT AND THEIR RIGHTS WERE TERMINATED.SEX WORKERS TOLD THE CHILDREN THEY COULD NOT STAY WITH THEM BECAUSE OF THE RISK OF SEX TRAFFICKING CHARGES BUT REFERRED THE CHILDREN TO CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT TELLING THEM CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT WILL NOT TURN YOU OVER TO THE POLICE, NOR WILL THEY ACCEPT GOVERNMENT MONEY FORCING THEM TO COMPLY WITH THESE NEW REGULATIONS.CHILDREN VANISHED FROM THE STREETS AND MANY DOMINATED BY GANGS WERE NOW FORCED TO COMMIT VIOLENT CRIMES FOR SURVIVAL.
