@contenchess saidI fear some will.
I saw that.
Incredible story.
Hopefully nobody abuses that sign as a stupid joke.
@moonbus saidBefore that people just shouted help, same result. Social media is still the plague.
Social media just redeemed itself of a multitude of sins. To anyone who has a teenaged kid or kids, teach them this hand sign. It saved a girl's life.

@trev33 saidIf she shouted for help she could have been killed right then and there.

Or he could have driven away from other people. Never to be seen again.
That hand sign is a safer method than....
"Help!! He kidnapped me! HEEEELLLLLP! ๐คช"
She was also in his car going down the highway.
What is yelling going to do?
Sometimes you amaze me Trevor ๐
You would be the girl that...unfortunately...didn't get saved. ๐

@taipei5200 saidI doubt he drove her across four states to propose marriage to her.
@moonbus
I read the news and from the media reports apparently she knew the guy and went with him willingly until she got cold feet.
Statistically, most cases of sexual abuse of minors are perpetrated by people known to the victim. So she knew him; that does not mean she consented to being kidnapped.
@taipei5200 saidYour first forum post on the entire site within record and your point is to infer that it’s all the girls fault.

What does that say about you?
@divegeester saidI dare say more people have been rescued thanks to social media.
You see one news article online which personally moves you, and you immediately feel social medial has “redeemed itself of a multitude of sins”?
I also dare say for every person rescued, several dozens have been driven to extremism, anorexia, depression, and/or suicide.
@shallow-blue saidSo what exactly are you “daresaying”?
