My wife just sent me these two articles, and they are worth sharing. I showed the video in the second article to my son.

Jesus, that’s dark. 15? I’d be curious as to what ruse/how they got her out of the arena.

There is some truth mixed in but for the most part these articles are b******t.Originally Posted by BillSWPA
The girl did disappear from her parents custody at the Mavericks game but it wasn’t a random encounter. As with most of these cases it was something that was pre-arrange with someone she met online.
Sex trafficking crimes don’t start with random “stranger danger” kidnappings. At least not in the United States. They start with someone befriending the victim, often online and promising them everything they’ve ever wanted.
Stranger on stranger kidnappings are relatively rare in the United States and when they do occur they are most often individual sex offender intent on sexual assault rather than sex traffickers.
Stranger danger kidnapping is how church ladies think sex trafficking starts. It’s really most likely to start with a cute guy inviting your daughter to a party, etc.

Majority of sex trafficking crimes start online, ChildSafe advocate says
Most victims are lured in by someone they think they know on social media.
SAN ANTONIO – The Texas teen that disappeared after going to the bathroom at an NBA game in Dallas and was later found in an Oklahoma hotel is drawing attention to how children are being lured into sex trafficking.
Helen Browning, care coordinator for ChildSafe in Bexar County, isn’t connected to the teen’s case, but she has handled many cases involving victims in our community.
“We don’t usually see stranger abductions as a way into trafficking. Here in the United States, it’s very, very rare,” Browning said.
She said it happens in less than 1% of cases.
These days, most victims are lured in by someone they think they know on social media.
“It’s really important that parents are watching what their youth are doing online because 90% of the trafficking -- what we have in sex trafficking --is starting online nowadays,” Browning said.
She said it’s important that families talk openly about the dangers lurking on social media and in person. Use family code words, especially for young children, to keep them safe. And be vocal and loud if your child disappears to get as many people helping to look as possible.
A Texas law that took effect in January requires hotels to train staff on how to look for signs of trafficking. Michelle Madson with the San Antonio Hotel & Lodging Association said it’s an important step that helps protect lives.
“We know this is an unfortunate thing that happens in our hotels, and we don’t want to turn a blind eye to it. We want to be part of the solution,” Madson said.
Good point about social media.
Good info, @HCM

Why go through the effort and risk of physically grabbing an unwilling victim (and from a crowded public venue, which is nearly impossible), to obtain a less-useful product, when there are thousands of malleable young females that will come willingly? Frequent runaways are common. They frequently have numerous risk factors: drug and alcohol use, relationships with older males, etc. Dime a dozen, and you can't tell them anything.
There is no torment in all the circles of hell worthy of the filth that perpetrates these things. As the father of a daughter this is beyond sickening to think about.
Come, mother, come! For terror is thy name, death is in thy breath, and every shaking step destroys a world for e'er. Thou 'time', the all-destroyer! Come, O mother, come!

"Emotional fitness is absolutely as important as physical fitness for survival…and that emotional fitness is not just important for your own health, but for literally everyone around you, in ways that you don’t know, and in ways that you may not be able to ever know. Check in with your friends, be as approachable as you can to your loved ones, and if you don’t have that, now is the time to start." -Ross Hick
