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.

I saw that.
Incredible story.

Hopefully nobody abuses that sign as a stupid joke.

Before that people just shouted help, same result. Social media is still the plague.

If 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! ๐Ÿคช"

She was also in his car going down the highway.
What is yelling going to do?

Sometimes you amaze me Trevor ๐Ÿ˜’

You would be the girl that...unfortunately...didn't get saved. ๐Ÿ˜”

I read the news and from the media reports apparently she knew the guy and went with him willingly until she got cold feet.

I doubt he drove her across four states to propose marriage to her.

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.

I dare say more people have been rescued thanks to social media.
I also dare say for every person rescued, several dozens have been driven to extremism, anorexia, depression, and/or suicide.
