We have been made aware of the fact that Yesmap's (now disabled) Matrix server was entered under false pretenses by the hostile editor of a supposed "MAP" website some months ago. While some screenshots/logs have been shared (including those of members suffering from mental-health and legal problems), no personally identifying information has been leaked. We are currently compiling a dossier of malicious and criminal activity we believe the publishers of this website are responsible for, and will soon publish and promote it.
Children of the Night
Children of the Night is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization founded in 1979 by Dr. Lois Lee, to fight prostitution involving children.
- "Our commitment to rescuing these children from the ravages of prostitution is shared with a small but committed group of detectives, FBI agents, and prosecutors in Los Angeles, Hollywood, Santa Ana, Anaheim, San Diego, other areas of California, Las Vegas, Portland, Billings, Montana; Seattle, Washington; Miami, New York, Minneapolis, Atlanta, Phoenix, Hawaii and Washington D.C. — all stops on the child prostitution circuit"
The organisation, like others - makes (on the whole) exaggerated claims about the sufferings of under-age prostitutes, receives donations from the public and assists law enforcement. On the provisional side, CotN acts as a safe-house for the teenagers who they have "saved".
Confirmation as to how most teens end up at CotN is perhaps realised in this quote from their site:
- "Many children voluntarily opt to stay for a year for optimum treatment; 13-yearolds may stay until they are 18." ["As opposed" - Emphasis NewgonWiki]
It is highly unlikely that this charity's claims regarding prostitution have much grounding in reality. They appear to be wildly different to our own correspondent's street-level observations of what is a far more socially complex issue.
