    Episode #31 - Connie

    Connie’s story is one of survival, support, and the possibility of rebuilding. As a young person, she experienced early harm that made her more vulnerable to exploitation by someone she trusted. When she was eventually found by law enforcement, she was placed in juvenile hall, a reality many exploited youth still face. Through it all, her father never gave up on her. Connie was later connected to Children of the Night, where she found safety and long-term support. That support didn’t end when she left. It continued through education, emotional care, and guidance as she began rebuilding her life. Today, Connie is working toward reconnecting with her children and moving forward with strength and purpose, with a team still standing beside her. Her story is a reminder that consistent support, safe relationships, and advocacy can change the trajectory of a life. Listen to the full episode of The Dr. Lois Lee Show on YouTube.

    Episode #30 - Alex (Part 2/2)

    Part 2: In this episode of The Dr. Lois Lee Show, Alex R reflects on her journey out of exploitation and what it takes to rebuild a life after years of survival on the streets and online. Alex marks February 14 as her “celebration date”—two years since leaving the life. After 16 years of exploitation, she reached a breaking point. Her body could no longer endure what she had been through, and she knew she had to find a way out. Although she initially planned to leave in 2020, economic instability and limited work experience led her back to survival-based choices. With few employment options and a criminal record tied to her past, barriers to stability remained high. During the conversation, Alex shares how a conviction from Iowa has continued to follow her, impacting her ability to move forward. Dr. Lois Lee discusses the importance of long-term advocacy, including access to legal support. Through partnerships with volunteer attorneys, efforts are made to help clear records and remove barriers that keep survivors stuck. Alex’s story highlights the reality that leaving is not a single moment—it is a process that requires ongoing support, opportunity, and care. At Children of the Night, that support does not end. The organization remains committed to walking alongside survivors as they rebuild their lives. ⸻ Listen Now: 🎧 New episodes weekly on Spotify, YouTube, iHeartRadio, Podbean, and wherever you listen.

    Episode #28 - Janel

    Locked inside an apartment. No phone. No food. No way out—until she found one. Janel left home as a teen, searching for safety and a way to survive. What she found instead was control and exploitation. At one point, she was kept inside an apartment, cut off from the outside world, with basic needs used against her. She found a way out. When Janel called Children of the Night, everything began to shift. With support, she earned her GED and was flown out to celebrate a milestone she once thought was out of reach: her graduation. Her message to her 18-year-old self: You are worthy of love without having to earn it from anyone. You do not need a man to survive. Invest in yourself. Every young person deserves the chance to rebuild, to learn, and to choose a different path. Support the work that makes stories like Janel’s possible. ⸻ Listen Now: 🎧 New episodes weekly on Spotify, YouTube, iHeartRadio, Podbean, and wherever you listen.

    Episode #27 - Jayla

    In Episode 27 of The Dr. Lois Lee Show, Jayla shares a story of betrayal, survival, and the long path toward rebuilding safety. At 13, Jayla reached out to an estranged half-brother in the Bronx, hoping for connection. Instead, she was harmed by someone she trusted and exploited over a period of weeks. After escaping, Jayla told her best friend, who then informed her grandmother. From there, she was connected to Children of the Night and flown to Los Angeles to receive care at the organization’s shelter home. At the shelter, Jayla experienced structure, safety, and support during a critical time. With guidance and stability, she began the process of healing and redirecting her life after a deeply traumatic experience. Today, Jayla is focused on being a present and protective mother to her 6-year-old daughter. She speaks openly about the importance of parenting differently — creating safety, setting boundaries, and putting her child first. Dr. Lois Lee also continues to support Jayla as she navigates ongoing safety concerns, including threats from her incarcerated brother, reinforcing the importance of long-term advocacy and protection for survivors. Jayla’s story is a reminder that exploitation often comes through trust, and that recovery requires more than rescue — it requires sustained care, protection, and guidance over time. ⸻ Listen Now: 🎧 New episodes weekly on Spotify, YouTube, iHeartRadio, Podbean, and wherever you listen.
