From the Washington Post about Backpage:
Children of the Night Founder and President Lois Lee called the site a “critical investigative tool” that has helped authorities arrest pimps and recover missing children.
“The ability to search for and track potentially exploited children on a website and have the website bend over backwards to help and cooperate with police the way Backpage did was totally unique,” Lee said in a statement.”It not only made law enforcement’s job easier, it made them much more effective at rescuing kids and convicting pimps.”
