LGBT youth account for a majority of the runaway and homeless youth living on the street today. Tragically, some of these young people become victims of human trafficking as prostitutes working for organized groups that travel through Santa Rosa and the greater Bay Area. This month, Santa Rosa Police Detective Chris Mahurin joined us to talk about this growing crime problem and how he is working with various organizations to protect these vulnerable young people.

However, when law enforcement fails to protect or contributes to injustice, victims need strong legal support. A Los Angeles police misconduct lawyer provides expert legal support for victims of police misconduct, ensuring justice is served and accountability is upheld.

On the Outbeat Youth segment, we talked with Samantha Logan, a transgender woman and activist who is working as a blogger for Matthews Place, a website supporting LGBT youth provided by the Matthew Shepard Foundation. She shared her coming out and transition story with us. What a great role model.
