During Seattle-San-Francisco flight, Sheila Frederick, the flight attendant noticed a strange couple of a well-dressed man and a shabby teenage girl about 14–15 years old. The striking contrast between the frightened child with greasy hair and the groomed man made the flight aroused suspicion in the flight attendant. According to Sheila, the girl looked “as if she went through hell”.
When Sheila talked to the couple, the girl was afraid even to look up. When the flight attendant tried to talk to her, the man put her down rudely. Sheila managed to give the girl a secret command to go to the bathroom. There was a note for her on the mirror. The girl wrote back, describing her situation and saying that she needed help.
Immediately, Sheila informed the pilot about the accident, and he contacted the police. The human trafficker was arrested in the airport straight away.
It’s horrible to imagine, how many similar accidents could be ignored. After this case, Airline Ambassadors charity organisation ran an educational campaign among crew members, devoted to human traffic prevention. Presently, all the flight attendants are taught to recognise such situations.
As for the girl, she is studying in a college now and still keeps in touch with Sheila Frederick, who literally saved her life.
