When Officer Owen from Georgia called Children of the Night, we were ready to help. Yvette had gone on a girl’s trip to Miami and her friend convinced her to try stripping for extra money. She was given ecstasy and alcohol to relax her.
Yvette’s friend stole her identification and left her stranded because Yvette refused to continue stripping.
Yvette asked a friend to drive her to the police department to make a report on her stolen documents.
She was stranded and couldn’t even board a plane back to Boston.
Our director of case management asked the officer to confirm Yvette’s mother would meet Yvette when she arrived at the Boston airport.
The officer confirmed but the family did not have money for the airline ticket.
We agreed to pay for her airline ticket home and needed Officer Owen to help Yvette get through TSA because she was without identification.
Once she arrived home safely, Yvette contacted Children of the Night case managers who are working on an application for government identification, as well as clothing, education, and medical services.
