What Can One Person Do? One Trucker's Phone Call leads to the Rescue of 7 from Kidnapping and Child Trafficking, and Shuts Down a 13-State Prostitution Ring"It was an awful experience how many truck drivers were okay with it, not thinking 'this is somebody's daughter, somebody's family member.' Thank God, what saved me was that truck driver who did think that, and who called in?" Certainly one of the most horrible atrocities of our time is the proliferation of human trafficking, especially of children. No country is exempt from it, it seems. And, often we can become overwhelmed and wonder, "What can I?one person?do to stop it?" In an amazing story of rescue, recently, that question was positively answered, as just one phone call placed to 911, by one trucker who took notice of a couple of young girls who looked distressed, made an enormous difference. An unnamed truck driver had been resting at a truck stop when he saw two girls, who "appeared pretty young," going from truck to truck, in what he recognized as distress and outright fear. Feeling that something was definitely not right, the trucker decided to do something and called 911. According to the report, the two girls were cousins, just 14 and 15, and had been kidnapped and forced into prostitution at the truck stop. The concerned trucker's call not only brought their rescue, but also the emancipation of 7 other children who had also been kidnapped and trafficked. But the ripple effects of this one trucker's phone call did not stop there. His compassionate actions ultimately brought the conviction of 31 trafficking offenders, and led to the shutdown of a 13-state prostitution ring.
"We [were] young girls, terrified out of our minds," said Shari. "It was an awful experience how many truck drivers were okay with it, not thinking 'this is somebody's daughter, somebody's family member.' Thank God, what saved me was that truck driver who did think that, and who called in?" "Oh?that truck driver who made that call," Shari's mother added tearfully, "I don't know who he is, I have never met him?but I owe him a lot! If it wasn't for him calling the police?I have no idea what would have happened." Watch Shari's moving video testimony by Brad Riley, by CLICKING HERE.
