Episode #39 - Roxie's Story (Part 1/2)

Épisode 42

mardi 7 juillet 2026 • Durée 34:30

Dr. Lois Lee sits down with Roxie, whom she first met when Roxie was 14 years old and arriving at Children of the Night. Roxie — now a Miss LA Pride contestant and an advocate with TGI Justice — shares her story: fleeing an abusive home as a young trans girl, finding safety at Children of the Night, and later surviving a violent restraint-heavy group home system that had no idea how to care for a trans kid.

In this episode:

How Roxie found Children of the Night at 14, and what it felt like to walk through the doors for the first time
The abuse she survived at home, and the complicated, ongoing work of processing that relationship with her mother
Being cycled through Level 14 group homes and psychiatric holds — physical restraint, forced medication, and being treated as ""the problem"" for being trans rather than being protected
Her observation that sexual abuse doesn't only happen to boys by men — women and mothers can be abusers too, and that reality is rarely talked about
Her advocacy work today: fundraising for trans services, helping with immigration paperwork, name changes, and housing for LA's trans community
A near-fatal attack years later, and how she got through it

Episode #38 - David's Story (Part 2/2)

Épisode 41

mardi 30 juin 2026 • Durée 26:25

In Part 2 of David's story, he reflects on the experiences that shaped his life as a young teenager and the lasting impact they had on his sense of identity, trust, and belonging.

Dr. Lois Lee and David discuss a philosophy that has guided Children of the Night for decades: vulnerable young people should not be expected to meet standards that have never been modeled for them. Instead, the responsibility belongs to the program to set the example by treating every child with dignity, consistency, and unwavering commitment.

Dr. Lois Lee also shares why Children of the Night has remained privately funded for more than 40 years. Maintaining independence has allowed the organization to make decisions based on what is best for the children they serve and to build the trust that has always been at the heart of the organization's work.

Episode #37 - David's Story (Part 1/2)

Épisode 39

mardi 23 juin 2026 • Durée 30:41

At 17 years old, David was alone.

After enduring childhood sexual abuse and a difficult upbringing, he found himself dropped off on the streets of Southern California. Eventually, he made his way to the Garden Grove Gay and Lesbian Center, where he was connected with Children of the Night and Dr. Lois Lee.

In this episode of The Dr. Lois Lee Show, David reflects on surviving exploitation, finding belonging, and discovering possibilities he never imagined. Inspired by Children of the Night students performing Shakespeare, the British Consul sponsored an educational trip to England—a journey that would forever change the way David saw himself and his future.

Today, David lives on a small farm in Tennessee with his husband and works as a product manager for a software company. His story is one of resilience, healing, and the extraordinary impact of people who believe in young people when they cannot yet believe in themselves.

Topics discussed:

• Surviving childhood sexual abuse and exploitation • Finding support through Children of the Night • Why exploitation is rooted in survival and trauma • A life-changing trip to England and Oxford • The importance of feeling accepted and safe • Misconceptions about male prostitution and sexual orientation • Building a life, career, and family after trauma

Episode #36 - Javier (Part 2/2)

Épisode 38

mardi 16 juin 2026 • Durée 24:25

In Part 2 of Javier's story, he reflects on the extraordinary reality of surviving not one, but two of Los Angeles County's most infamous child abuse scandals.

As a child, Javier was among the students impacted by the Mark Berndt case, a nationally known abuse scandal that shocked parents and educators across the country. After speaking up about what happened, he entered the foster care system, where he would later experience additional trauma at MacLaren Hall, the now-closed Los Angeles County receiving center that became the subject of widespread allegations of abuse and neglect.

Javier shares how these experiences shaped his life, his understanding of resilience, and his determination to keep moving forward despite the odds.

Dr. Lois Lee and Javier also discuss a powerful truth that has guided Children of the Night for nearly five decades: compassion cannot be taught. The adults entrusted with the care of vulnerable children must possess the empathy, humanity, and commitment necessary to help young people heal.

The conversation concludes with a deeply personal reflection on the lifelong bond between Javier and Dr. Lois Lee. What began as a rescue became a relationship built on trust, support, and unconditional care—a reminder that healing often starts when one person chooses not to give up on a child.

Topics Discussed: • Surviving the Mark Berndt abuse scandal • Experiences within the foster care system • MacLaren Hall and its lasting impact on youth • The importance of believing children when they speak up • Why compassion matters when working with vulnerable youth • Resilience, healing, and rebuilding a life after trauma • The lifelong relationship between Javier and Dr. Lois Lee

If you or someone you know is a young person in crisis, Children of the Night provides free services, education support, case management, and emergency assistance to youth across the United States.

Episode #35 - Javier (Part 1/2)

Épisode 37

mardi 9 juin 2026 • Durée 34:53

Javier was one of the children impacted by the Mark Berndt abuse scandal, one of the most notorious school abuse cases in Los Angeles history.

As a third-grade student, he tried to escape what was happening by running away from school. When he spoke up, he says no one believed him.

What followed was a childhood spent moving through systems that were supposed to protect him. After entering foster care, Javier was placed at MacLaren Hall, where he experienced further abuse at the hands of staff members.

His story could have ended there.

Instead, Javier eventually found support through Children of the Night and Dr. Lois Lee, beginning a long journey toward healing and recovery.

Today, Javier shares his story not only as a survivor, but as someone who has spent years advocating for children who have experienced abuse and trauma. In this powerful conversation, he reflects on survival, resilience, accountability, and the lifelong impact of being believed.

mardi 2 juin 2026 • Durée 21:12

In Part 2 of Lynne’s story, retired Homeland Security professional and former Children of the Night outreach worker Lynne shares one of the most heartbreaking cases she encountered while working the streets of Hollywood alongside Dr. Lois Lee.

Drawing from her years of outreach experience, Lynne reflects on the realities of meeting vulnerable young people where they were, building trust, and witnessing the devastating impact of exploitation. Among the many cases she encountered, one stands out as the most disturbing: a young girl who had been handed over by her mother to her father, who was exploiting her.

Through this candid conversation, Dr. Lois Lee and Lynne discuss the complex dynamics of trafficking, family betrayal, grooming, and the lasting trauma experienced by victims. They also share insights from decades of frontline work helping young people find safety, support, and hope for a different future.

This episode provides a sobering look at the realities behind child exploitation and the critical role outreach workers play in identifying victims and connecting them with life-changing resources.

Episode #31 - Connie

Épisode 33

mardi 28 avril 2026 • Durée 22:25

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.

Episode #30 - Alex (Part 2/2)

Épisode 32

mardi 21 avril 2026 • Durée 20:28

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.
