Doesn't matter whether she went for a milkshake with them, a coffee or smoke a joint etc she was drugged n kidnapped n sex trafficked I hope this beautiful young girl keeps speaking up for all the other young kids in danger of same fate Brave n beautiful girl ❤
I just spent about an hour looking into this. 8 people in total have been arrested, most are WOMEN there are only 3 men in the group. The main man, Kenneth Nelson is a registered sex offender. Men would walk up and down the hallways with AK47s at the Extended Stay Airport motel in OKC guarding the 2 rooms Kenneth Nelson had trafficked women in. Look at the reviews of that motel. It's an Oyo property now but wasn't at the time. I'm glad this girl is alive and safe now, it could have gone much worse. Keep your head up Natalee you're a survivor.
@@lesleyjones6230- IF you added a "PLEASE" b4 "site sources" someone might think you care, or even want to learn. You can do the same basic investigation the OP that posted the extended information did. Youre just being demanding or trying to shed DOUBT. There's a way ppl behave when they're caring and a way they act when they feel entitled to demand "sources" BUT unfortunately for you, there's no benefit to this OP lying about this, just shedding light on the additional fact that MANY WOMEN HAVE BECOME JUST AS FILTHY AND ABUSIVE as men when it comes to sex trafficking. They're used up or not teen looking anymore, so they become associate pimps too, and make younger girls take on their former job, but they need men to help intimidate and be the musle. It doesn't take brains to work in the trafficking industry just a cold heart for fellow females and willing to impose suffering on other females. perpetuate the damage among fellow, younger females. You have the girl's name, maybe s-e ove4 18 now, this didnt happen last week. Google her name and plough thru documents like the OP did. If you cant say a simple "please' or "thankyou for your hard work" u deserve nothing bc there's nothing polite about a lazy "site sources" Besides you probably want direct links, which UA-cam doesnt allow. Your demand approach doesnt warrant a response or the mental text gymnastics to spell out all her research long form. Try harder to be humble and seem like someone who cares. People can tell the difference right away.
Because God forbid you might embarrass or shame a sex trafficker. I'd think if you don't want everyone to see who you are and make sure you get what's coming, you probably shouldn't hurt women and children. But right now we live in a crazy world where we must protect the perverts.
Cross the Texas border with a joint and they throw you in prison, cross the border with a kid you kidnapped and Texas is like mr magoo. Crime? What crime? We see no crime? Was the weed? If not no crime.
This is very common in SA cases. They have no understanding for the victim unless they are leaving kicking and screaming. They don’t understand the psychology behind someone that is still trusting of the world. It’s happened to me (minus the multiple men and trafficking part) and the detective had the nerve to say that I “knew what I was doing and I wanted it to happen”. Sad but common truth in society. It’s gut wrenching to know you can’t rely on the cops when you actually need someone to advocate for you.
I just don't understand this mentality of " you just wanted it to happen" I can't wrap my mind around it. Why bother being a cop? Why say this to someone who has been assaulted? Someone hurting needing their help. It is as if they want to discourage people from filing a complaint. The callousness is unreal!!!!! There's a special place in hell for folks like this
I'm sorry that happened to you & to have the people that's supposed to protect & serve to do nothing is like spitting in the victims face . This is why the show SVU was made but unfortunately is guess most police officers don't watch it. Stay strong young lady.
@@user-qb3vi5kk3t You definitely don't know what you're talking about children who get kidnapped going voluntary that's because them criminals act nice to them telling them lies also threatening them to hurt them and their families.
Rape is Rape, the men in Texas should be sent to jail also. God Bless you Young Lady, keep your head up and help others. I am praying for you and All of the people who are seeking trafficked
I disagree I feel it should be anyone at any age you go missing like she did a alert should be sent it doesn’t matter if she or a he is a teen, young adult, or a adult your missing everyone should know in a 100 mile radius immediately and air ports, train stations, bus stations and any border crossing should be all alerted.
It does show that parenting was lacking for sure though. Your kids being willing to leave a basketball game she is at with her father with some random man would suggest failings as a parent.
Why are minor being sentenced as adults when they commit heinous crimes? Sorry, I feel for you, but you left, you knew what you were doing. You sought out drugs and went with them. This wasn’t your first rodeo. Take some responsibility for the situation you put yourself in for selfish reasons.
@@donaldjohnson-e8f”teens like this” this is not about her mistake this is about her story and how the cops are not doing their job, they are stupid.
People saying she’s old enough to know better don’t understand teenagers. Teenagers don’t think the same way as adults. And even adults get taken advantage of.
Unfortunately kids often don't listen to their parents. My daughter was always a well-behaved straight A student and STILL she went into a strangers apartment when they invited her! She was taught repeatedly, since the age of 4, never to leave with strangers and good touch bad touch. It was very unsettling when I learned about this but luckily she was OK.
Okay guys yes she made a dumb mistake to follow a stranger and hangout w them and blah blah. Yes she shouldve known better than to trust these strangers. But i cant believe people are actually saying this wasnt trafficking or kidnapping only bc she voluntarily went with them at first? Yes maybe at first she wasnt kidnapped but then she did end up being held against her will and shipped to another state how tf is that not kidnapping or sex trafficking?
the only people who will side with her perpetrators are people who would take advantage of her as well. People with no respect, not an ounce of empathy. The rest of us are very well aware that this is not her fault and the people who did this to her are despicable human garbage.
Yep. I am also a survivor of sex trafficking. Not only that my abuser held me hostage, raped me, beat me every single day, killed my unborn son at 6 months pregnant after refusing drugs to go "work". I almost lost my life the same night. I finally admitted to the officers who it was they knew because they had already had contact with him from former abuse. He was arrested for sex trafficking, aggravated assault, impending breathing, and more. They were trying to force me to testify and knew I had no one no family, no anything I was all alone and left to be killed. I was threatened kidnapped again by his best friend and his gf. I told them I wouldn't testify they said they didn't need me they had enough to prosecute and a year later, they dropped all the chargers with so much evidence it was crazy arrested me with his charges all over a mentally ill girl who knew what he wAs doing to me, got caught doing something else used my story told them she gave me 20 he beat me and took it I was arrested on sex trafficking, receiving money from prostitute just to drop them give me 2 years probation and dropped his charges. Instead of looking at life, he is already roaming our streets. How can anyone trust cops when they re victimize survivors of extreme abuse
I am so sorry you're experiencing all this. I stopped writing this post so I could say a prayer for you. Peace be with you! May God guide you & keep you safe! 💛🧡🩷
I am also so sorry this happened. I was trusting of court before having some experiences with DV and family court. It seems like it can’t be real… but it is not just a “horror story” that sometimes happens, it happens regularly. It’s not ok. And we need serious reform. Sending hugs. I’m so so sorry that all of this happened to you. I believe you and it shouldn’t have gone that way. Hoping for good thing in store for your future!
Is it a Democratic city? Coz their policy is atrocious. They side with criminals. Cops thinks you’re one of them and just pretending to be one of the victims. I really hope, there will be a special group in PD that handles such cases to better help you and others with similar situations. May God heal you and comfort you, may He give you strength to overcome and found joy in life again. He is our friend and our protector. 🙏🏻
Thank you guys. Weirdly it helps even hearing it from strangers. The crazy thing was my probation officer read my file met me and was in shock. She went to court and told them she doesn't understand why I'm even there. Why his charges are dropped and that it was ridiculous to have a victim victimized by the state. She was amazing. .
She conveniently leaves out the parts where she had run away multiple times before this horrific event and that she was the one that approached the guy and asked if he had some weed to smoke. She was a verrrrry messed up girl way before any of this happened. These animals saw how vulnerable she was and made their move.
she didn’t conveniently leave anything out the news probably had a certain thing they wanted to share. whatever. they have limited broadcasting time. Also, whether or not she was a ““ bad kid”” or not doesn’t matter it doesn’t excuse or justify what they did to her or the response and lack there of of the Dallas police department so fix your approach.
Same as Elizabeth Smart case, parents wouldn't let her do sleepover, she plotted revenge toward parents, conspired with visiting handyman to come back and kidnap her to get back at her parents, she knew her kidnapper that's why justice Dept could only prosecute so much bcuz she went willingly she wasn't actually kidnapped. There's a back story
This needs to be shown to all parents also. Don’t let your kids go anywhere alone in this disgusting world. The devil runs it and you never know who he’s gonna send their way.
How stupid are the Dallas Police department's part! Why would she run away if she was at a game with her father! That would be an occasion when she would be happy not wanting to get away!
I pray for your healing and peace. I hope you feel loved and protected at all times. I have a daughter a little older than you and I can’t imagine what you’ve been through. God will take care of them.
🥺 I'm so so very glad she was saved. But she's totally right, they always want to label a runaway, when many times it turns out to be much darker. And then they don't even search for them, because they've already decided not to. Its pathetic!
It's a shame that the government has no care about this crime because she did go meet someone from the center and smoked pot before being taken by some criminals 😮
Literally not a single person under the age of 60 cares that she smoked pot. I guarantee you the police didn't give one F about that and didn't use it as consideration for anything.
Y'all are blaming her? Do you really perfer a world where you can't meet someone new in public at an event where you clearly share an interest? We should be afraid of everyone? You're sick for blaming her.
Not to mention she WAS FIFTEEN. I bet these boomers made all the best decisions at 15. Like getting married and popping out kids with their 30 year old older husbands.
Then, when we decide not to talk to them or approach them, then they want to cry tears of blood "We are lonely!" & Of course calling us modern women I'll say this: these cops didn't do anything bcuz they didn't care! They classified her runaway bcuz they couldn't be bothered & maybe, just maybe they KNEW what was going on. By keeping quiet they make extra $$$ & no one is the wiser
Teenagers are NAIVE. I was raised in a good Christian family & always well behaved. There was one year I was getting bullied a little bit & felt isolated bc i couldn’t go to sleepovers or do things with friends like the other kids bc my parents were so strict. I know it was out of protection but at 15 your mind isn’t developed & you don’t ever think about things like this. I snuck out 2 or 3 times which they never knew about. I made friends with 2 18 yr old guys from a high school basketball game & rode around with them. So theoretically it could have happened to me. This was in the 90’s so I knew nothing about the world- no cell phones. It was one rebellious streak. When I was able to drive I didn’t get into any trouble. I was still a straight A student, graduated at the top of my class & got scholarships & life went on peacefully. It really breaks my heart to see these comments about “well they went willingly”. Bad people are masters in manipulation tactics to make you think other wise. She was a KID. And she’s a VICTIM! I’m SO proud of her for speaking up, especially seeing these comments which make others stay silent thinking they’ll be blamed or not believed. She’s fighting a fight for awareness & I’m thankful for her 💜
The reason why most law enforcement agencies along with their local city and county governments refuse to get involved at all is because THEY ARE ALL IN ON IT 💯 💰
I wish they would explain how she ended up in the parking lot. Did these guys lie to her and tell her her parents were out there? Did she go willingly to go smoke weed? Did they force her to keep walking by threatening her? So many questions.
How come the part of how she was totally taken away is not explained in full detail? I feel this report lacks something very important ... the whole truth!
And this is just ONE reason out of HUNDREDS why abortion needs to be legal in ALL states. What if she'd gotten pregnant, and had to endure carrying and birthing one of her rapists child... no one should have to endure that on top of all her other trauma.
Thank you my a$$... Getting abused and trafficked doesn't make you stronger it gives you trauma and experiences you'd be better off without I don't feel stronger I'd give anything to take everything away that the trauma has given me these "survival skills" aren't necessary anywhere else in my life... Most people don't walk around with a 🔪 ready to use it most people don't walk around with the fear of getting yanked up out of nowhere or of standing within arms reach of literally everyone or of sudden movements or affection or basic kindness...
As a father of a young lady. I would like to know how she left the stadium. To educate my daughter what to watch for. This says it happened but not how it happened.
ua-cam.com/video/m12hBMWXWaU/v-deo.htmlsi=R5CnB9qacDDao0FD There more to the story than what is being told here. The girl told her parents she was going to the bathroom but instead left with some guy to the parking lot to smoke weed. She is on surveillance walking away, clearly willingly. In the parking lot there were other guys there waiting who then all abducted her. This wasn't taken seriously right away because she had a history of running away. I'm not saying what happened to her is justified, but when you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes.
I reside in the DFW area. This is a horrible news the treatment of this very young beautiful woman! It seems like the criminals have it all over us honorable taxpayers! Keep your attitude sweetheart!
This cute white girls shouldn’t have been talking to 6lack men she didn’t know. AND CBS shouldn’t be blurring the faces of them just because they’re not white.
I want to know why she was walking around with those two guys in the first place. Not blaming her but I’ve always wondered how they gain their trust or was she drugged then too??

I'm so sorry young woman. You have every right to be angry and mad. Stay strong and you don't have to forgive. That's bs that forgiveness gives u strength. No. Your own way of healing is strength and peace. I've seen your story before and every time it makes me cry. For you andb your parents. Eventually i pray every person involved is arrested and convicted. ❤🙏

So how exactly did these men take her from a crowded stadium? Tragic that this happened, but I think she bears some responsibility for her actions as well. I don't think she was very smart and she learned the hard way.
That's completely frightening that a young girl is not safe at a freaking arena where there should be security! Pisses me off. Hope her parents sued their butts off. Police Department, you are sick!!!
It's just not adding up for me. In another interview i saw she said they got in the car, went back to a home, smoked weed, and things didnt get scary for her until the two men allegedly raped her. The timeline of events is off. I thought she went home with the men, did drugs, then expected to be taken back to the game to go home with her dad. But she says in this interview that she was still in the parking lot after the game. So did she stay out in the parking lot with them untl the game ended AND THEN go home with them? Which would mean she had no plans of going home with her dad that night, and probaby the reason she left her phone with him. Or did they take her home, rape her, and then bring her BACK to the game? I understand why the Oklahoma guys were charged, as she said, they were completely different ppl. But i can also see why the Dallas guys were not charged because so much about that doesn't add up
I saw the same thing that she went to smoke with them...and would'nt the dad be worried of her in the moment she did not return...🤔 yeah! I don't believe this story....
@@elvia3068 My god can you read or listen? Her dad immediately once he realized she was missing went to the police officers INSIDE OF THE STADIUM begging them to check camera footage and LOOK for her. It's the F'ing DALLAS MAVERICKS STADIUM do you know how easy it is to lose a friend at it if they're wandering around and not going back to their seat? She was known for anxiety and would walk around when she had it, she was found literally walking up and down a street in OKC. Her dad probably thought she was decompressing and walking around the massive stadium FULL of police and security. She was still in the parking garage when the police REFUSED to look for her. You're a woman and saying this trash that you don't believe a 15 yo girl WHO WAS LITERALLY FOUND R'D and TRAFFICKED by a registered sex offender 30 years older than her in a $30 OKC motel known for escorts and trafficking and you don't believe her story? You think she made up being R'd for a week in OKC? You think the police made up finding her nude pictures online on escort sites? You think the 8 people arrested for R, sex trafficking, etc are fake? Elvia you're disgusting and I guarantee a stupid woman with no self respect.
Why are these things still happening? People are still victim blaming/shaming, police are still unavailable to to the needs of the public,a survivor still needs to stand up and speak out so that change can take place 😢 Truly sad, truly disheartening ...the reality we live in.
God Bless the Okies, plenty good ole boys and girls left. Shame on you Texas, i always believed TX & Ok were two states you didnt eff about & find out in. Half right
WOW, CBS is reporting current events?? Difficult current events that desperately need attention? Excuse me while I go outside and see if pigs are flying.
So she willingly went to go smoke with these strangers? She takes no accountability of her actions. It's a terrible thing but you must be smart enough to NOT go smoke with strangers.
Accountability for what? Smoking? It's not smart to do anything with strangers. There. What happened to her from there is not even remotely her fault in any way. The men who did this are at fault. Thank God she doesn't blame herself. People spend years in therapy to learn that someone else's actions against them are not their fault.
@@annreynolds2048Well at age 15, you do. You may not be legally responsible at that age but at age 15 you know the difference between right and wrong. At age 15, I knew not to leave with adult strangers! It's not like she's 9 yrs old. This happened 2 years ago when she was entering the age of being a young lady. I think she went to hang and then realized she picked the wrong ppl to hang with. Maybe she planned on doing sexual acts but didn't plan on being trafficked!
@BreezeDaDon You misunderstood my point. She's a teen.. with teen hormones....with teen stupidity...with teen ideas that "nothing can hurt me. I'm smarter than my parents. I'm smart enough to outsmart others." Other words... BAD judgment. Don't you remember how dumb you acted as a teen? So what I meant is that, of course, she was dumb enough to put herself in harms way, BUT that doesn't give another person the right to drug her, abuse her, kidnap, or rape her!!!
So she left with them voluntarily at first and then later on she was drugged and raped? Someone else said that in another video she said that she was looking to get drugs ?
Are you saying that women should never talk or walk with guys that are friendly? I suppose you are one of those people who believe there is no such thing as marital rape? Teenagers do not always make great decisions. Whether it was poor decision making or not doesn't mean it wasn't wrong and that she wasn't trafficked.
@@bardnightingale No one said anything about marital rape. WTF Going somewhere and looking for something is far different from being taken there AGAINST YOUR WILL. That was the point made. That is all. Nothing about abuse against women, in general. No sexist slant. Just one point.
@@samrester6254just because she was trying to get high with a dude she didn’t think would traffic her doesn’t mean she deserved to be trafficked. You people are honestly sick
@@SugiesCookies You totally missed the point. Either you did not comprehend what I wrote or you are intentionally trying to misdirect. Nothing about 'Deserved' was even mentioned. I replied to a comment about 'Marital Rape'. Which was ludicrous to bring up. Also the term 'Kidnapping'. That is it. Anything else you perceived in what was written, was on you.
@@samrester6254 You are the one who has comprehension issues not me! You don’t have to use the word “deserved” to imply that she did it to herself. Making it seem like it’s totally ok what the suspects did to the VICTIM. You are sick in your head
Im not an expert, but couldn't she file a civil suit against the texas men? Have they been identified so she could? This is so heartbreaking. As a mother of a young adult daughter, i can not even fathom this situation. I pray for your continued healing and for justice to be served.

Why in the HELL aren’t the FBI and U.S Marshals investigating this? This young lady was taken across state lines, drugged, raped and beaten. Hell, if they arrested Chuck Berry for doing almost the same thing, then what is their excuse?! I hope and pray that this young lady gets the justice, from the state of Texas, that she deserves!! We NEED to watch out for potential trafficked people. We NEED to know the “code” for help, which is tucking the thumb into the palm, and wrapping the fingers over the thumb. This is the universal code for help!! I don’t care what we, as a society, have to do better to save trafficked people from their traffickers. We MUST do everything possible to save them.
One word: CORRUPTION. When a police department doesn't do their JOB is because they are IN ON IT!! Thank you OKLAHOMA. Much love from a very disappointed Texan. I was surprised to learn DPD isn't even responding because Texas is a "conservative" state and the laws are very strict. But this is just either extreme laziness and/carelessness of their job. Or the more obvious reason, corruption.
15 year old girls should be able to leave their parents in busy cities, ask strangers for drugs, and get into cars with strangers without fear. This is terrible.
Without criminals being criminals and rapists being rapists, that would be true. Yes. Indeed. Men shouldn't rape. The justice system should stop facilitating these crimes and actually take them seriously. Nice try though.
This seems pretty open and shut. It shouldn’t be assumed that anyone is “just a teenage runaway” and not looked for. If there is a concern they were abducted, it needs to be thoroughly checked out and investigated immediately. And if someone goes to the bathroom and doesn’t come back at a sports game with their father.:.. you are not doing your job if you just ignore the issue… and should receive severe consequences. Her consequences for their neglect was assault, rape and being trafficked. What was their consequence for their neglect?
I thought we left "they're just a runaway" back in the 70s? Ok, so even if a MINOR actually runs away, is that not still an emergency? If I don't handle my work, then I get fired. If police don't handle their work, they are "just following protocol"
why is she walking voluntarily with him? People you do not trust anyone, never!!! do not go talk to strangers or date someone in an app and go with them!!! beware always, we live in a wicked world...
They had free weed and she wanted to party. It's hard to blame prosecutors when there isn't a clear point when she stopped volunteering for everything going on.
The movie "Taken" (Liam Neeson) does a pretty good depiction of how easy it is for a young girl to be convinced to voluntarily hang out with an obducter. They are professionals.
All I can think is “No baby you became the strong person you are because of YOU, do not thank them!” Even if she was a runaway, she was still a minor, it was still their responsibility to locate her!
If you’re looking for a cheap thrill, don’t talk to strangers. Her naiveté got the best of her. She has some accountability here. Not entirely, but some.
I’m pretty sure supposedly she went looking for these guys for “weed” at that mavericks game and got herself in over her head. She might be embarrassed about the pictures she took for the adds she put up and maybe that motivated the trafficking story? But something is definitely rotten in Denmark.
The cops should be on this... ...if they're tracking or trying to identify the criminals and this leads them on a years long mission they won't tell this poor girl anything... That is the problem with ongoing investigation... The victim is left in the dark... Stay strong girl... ...your bravery will save many in time ❤️
This is a bigger issue for Texas than one person, the fact that they are not looking at this as a trafficking ring is absurd. God bless this girl for her bravery! I pray she recovers the best she can from this unimaginable trauma.
I praise her for speaking out she is so brave and it's making everyone more aware, but no way would I say thank you they caused her alot of pain in her life and others.
I'm tired of the secular fraternities of this world. It's obvious that a secular fraternity did the little girls in Delphi and now this is just getting ridiculous and I'm tired of it.
Don’t do drugs with strangers especially if you are a female and they are men. It doesn’t make it right what they did but if she made different decisions she wouldn’t have been in the situation in the first place. I don’t think we have to worry about her making the same mistake twice.
There's 2 things I'm confused about... First one being, she mentioned multiple times that there was an "American Airlines center"...so they flew her to Oklahoma? And, if so, is that middle photo of the 3 lined up, her on the plane to Oklahoma? Cause she's got a HUGE smile on her face. The second thing I'm confused about, is that she literally THANKED the traffickers in her message to them. Sure, she said she'd never forgive them... But first she THANKED THEM!! I'm very confused by the storyline with this young woman. Not AT ALL saying that what happened to her is ok. Because it isn't! There's just some EXTREMELY ODD pieces to this story.
Texas needs to step up on REAL crimes! They are tough on victimless crimes but yet they do NOTHING to catch and lock away the REAL criminals with REAL victims!!!!!!! I bid this victim who is speaking out GODSPEED! You go girl! So thankful you escaped in Oklahoma and I agree you will overcome and rise to become a force to be reckoned with as you go on to help others!!!! I pray law enforcement and justice EVERYWHERE re-evaluates itself as to who and what they are dropping the punishment hammer upon! Evil roams free today in Texas, while manpower is sent after traffic violences and drug offenders! I personally know of a non- violent guy from our neighborhood who's currently in prison because his last offense was from being stopped with expired tags and was caught with a baggie with some drug residue. I pass by his vacant house everyday to go to work! Grass overgrown and in ill repair while he rots away in prison and he never had a victim in any of his crimes! I got to know this neighbor only because when my husband was working out of town and our water well broke he came with his girlfriend and fixed it FOR FREE so our daughters and animals could have water! Yet today this guy from my neighborhood is locked away from society,his vehicle repossessed and losing everything he owned while this child's traffickers are roaming free here in Texas! There are too many stories i am hearing just exactly like this one I KNOW to be the true reality here in Texas!
While adults debate the actions of a child, these dudes are still out there freely doing this to other kids
Sick!
She was a minor trafficked across State lines, so why wasn't the FBI overseeing this case?
FBI; Texas Rangers, there's so many holes and missed opportunities in this young girls ordeal.
Probably due to questions about whether it was voluntary
Dallas is currently helping push out Americans due to Latin gangs controlling the city
@@heightsofsagarmatha
That's what the "Investigation" would determine.
@@heightsofsagarmatha LEGAL FACT:
Whether or not it was voluntary is irrelevant since she is a minor. Prove me wrong.
What pathetic POS has to punch a 15 year old in the mouth… seriously
Doesn't matter whether she went for a milkshake with them, a coffee or smoke a joint etc she was drugged n kidnapped n sex trafficked
I hope this beautiful young girl keeps speaking up for all the other young kids in danger of same fate
Brave n beautiful girl ❤
Exactly!! She was underage!!
I just spent about an hour looking into this. 8 people in total have been arrested, most are WOMEN there are only 3 men in the group. The main man, Kenneth Nelson is a registered sex offender. Men would walk up and down the hallways with AK47s at the Extended Stay Airport motel in OKC guarding the 2 rooms Kenneth Nelson had trafficked women in. Look at the reviews of that motel. It's an Oyo property now but wasn't at the time. I'm glad this girl is alive and safe now, it could have gone much worse. Keep your head up Natalee you're a survivor.

They're used up or not teen looking anymore, so they become associate pimps too, and make younger girls take on their former job, but they need men to help intimidate and be the musle. It doesn't take brains to work in the trafficking industry just a cold heart for fellow females and willing to impose suffering on other females. perpetuate the damage among fellow, younger females.
You have the girl's name, maybe s-e ove4 18 now, this didnt happen last week. Google her name and plough thru documents like the OP did. If you cant say a simple "please' or "thankyou for your hard work" u deserve nothing bc there's nothing polite about a lazy "site sources"
Besides you probably want direct links, which UA-cam doesnt allow. Your demand approach doesnt warrant a response or the mental text gymnastics to spell out all her research long form. Try harder to be humble and seem like someone who cares. People can tell the difference right away.
Yes she isvery blessed to be alive!@lesleyjones6230
@@lesleyjones6230It’s true and it’s easy to source it yourself.
Why is the guy’s face blurred?
It's something kinda dumb that the authorities do . They want to keep the sh!t heads identity hidden.
Because God forbid you might embarrass or shame a sex trafficker. I'd think if you don't want everyone to see who you are and make sure you get what's coming, you probably shouldn't hurt women and children. But right now we live in a crazy world where we must protect the perverts.
If he hasn't been convicted, he's entitled to privacy. He's innocent until proven guilty, according to the Constitution. Just as you and I would be.
@ that has nothing to do with with guilt or innocence. Criminals faces are on the nose pre conviction all the time.
Good question!
Cross the Texas border with a joint and they throw you in prison, cross the border with a kid you kidnapped and Texas is like mr magoo. Crime? What crime? We see no crime? Was the weed? If not no crime.
This is very common in SA cases. They have no understanding for the victim unless they are leaving kicking and screaming. They don’t understand the psychology behind someone that is still trusting of the world. It’s happened to me (minus the multiple men and trafficking part) and the detective had the nerve to say that I “knew what I was doing and I wanted it to happen”. Sad but common truth in society. It’s gut wrenching to know you can’t rely on the cops when you actually need someone to advocate for you.
I just don't understand this mentality of " you just wanted it to happen"
I can't wrap my mind around it. Why bother being a cop? Why say this to someone who has been assaulted? Someone hurting needing their help. It is as if they want to discourage people from filing a complaint. The callousness is unreal!!!!!
There's a special place in hell for folks like this
This is so bad!!! It is out of control, and the cartel are over running our country!!!!!! THIS MUST END IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!!!
I'm sorry that happened to you & to have the people that's supposed to protect & serve to do nothing is like spitting in the victims face . This is why the show SVU was made but unfortunately is guess most police officers don't watch it. Stay strong young lady.
Dear Heart, there are no words. You are courageous to share in order to help others. Bless you. Shame on Dallas Police!
So because she wasn’t kicking and screaming, it was voluntary? This poor girl was kidnapped and trafficked. Nothing about that is voluntary.
She knew exactly what she was doing
@@user-qb3vi5kk3t LEGAL FACT: She knowing what she was doing is irrelevant because she is a minor. Prove me wrong.
@@jamesmabry5776 your right but let’s not act like she actually got kidnapped by her kicking and screaming doing everything she could to get away
@@user-qb3vi5kk3tsounds like you were involved
@@user-qb3vi5kk3t You definitely don't know what you're talking about children who get kidnapped going voluntary that's because them criminals act nice to them telling them lies also threatening them to hurt them and their families.
Rape is Rape, the men in Texas should be sent to jail also. God Bless you Young Lady, keep your head up and help others. I am praying for you and All of the people who are seeking trafficked
Amber alerts should be for anyone under the age of 18..this goes all the way up through politics
I disagree I feel it should be anyone at any age you go missing like she did a alert should be sent it doesn’t matter if she or a he is a teen, young adult, or a adult your missing everyone should know in a 100 mile radius immediately and air ports, train stations, bus stations and any border crossing should be all alerted.
LEGAL FACT: Her voluntarily going with the thugs is irrelevant since she is a minor. Prove me wrong.
Correct. She was a minor and in the eyes of the law she cannot consent. It’s awful what happened to her. Hope she gets Justice.
Yes, she can't consent to anything because she is a minor.
Exactly!
It does show that parenting was lacking for sure though. Your kids being willing to leave a basketball game she is at with her father with some random man would suggest failings as a parent.
Why are minor being sentenced as adults when they commit heinous crimes? Sorry, I feel for you, but you left, you knew what you were doing. You sought out drugs and went with them. This wasn’t your first rodeo. Take some responsibility for the situation you put yourself in for selfish reasons.
We must teach our kids from a early age to never walk off with anyone.
Parents do. And then some teens like this one go with anyone who says they have a party going on nearby.
15 is old enough. This girl was stupid.
@@donaldjohnson-e8f”teens like this” this is not about her mistake this is about her story and how the cops are not doing their job, they are stupid.
People saying she’s old enough to know better don’t understand teenagers. Teenagers don’t think the same way as adults. And even adults get taken advantage of.
Unfortunately kids often don't listen to their parents. My daughter was always a well-behaved straight A student and STILL she went into a strangers apartment when they invited her! She was taught repeatedly, since the age of 4, never to leave with strangers and good touch bad touch. It was very unsettling when I learned about this but luckily she was OK.
Okay guys yes she made a dumb mistake to follow a stranger and hangout w them and blah blah. Yes she shouldve known better than to trust these strangers. But i cant believe people are actually saying this wasnt trafficking or kidnapping only bc she voluntarily went with them at first? Yes maybe at first she wasnt kidnapped but then she did end up being held against her will and shipped to another state how tf is that not kidnapping or sex trafficking?
the only people who will side with her perpetrators are people who would take advantage of her as well. People with no respect, not an ounce of empathy. The rest of us are very well aware that this is not her fault and the people who did this to her are despicable human garbage.
How many kids are missing from the boarder and nothing done about it
My God, what a horrific story for this young girl. God bless her, heal her soul and body🙏
Yep. I am also a survivor of sex trafficking. Not only that my abuser held me hostage, raped me, beat me every single day, killed my unborn son at 6 months pregnant after refusing drugs to go "work". I almost lost my life the same night. I finally admitted to the officers who it was they knew because they had already had contact with him from former abuse. He was arrested for sex trafficking, aggravated assault, impending breathing, and more. They were trying to force me to testify and knew I had no one no family, no anything I was all alone and left to be killed. I was threatened kidnapped again by his best friend and his gf. I told them I wouldn't testify they said they didn't need me they had enough to prosecute and a year later, they dropped all the chargers with so much evidence it was crazy arrested me with his charges all over a mentally ill girl who knew what he wAs doing to me, got caught doing something else used my story told them she gave me 20 he beat me and took it I was arrested on sex trafficking, receiving money from prostitute just to drop them give me 2 years probation and dropped his charges. Instead of looking at life, he is already roaming our streets. How can anyone trust cops when they re victimize survivors of extreme abuse
I am so sorry you're experiencing all this. I stopped writing this post so I could say a prayer for you. Peace be with you! May God guide you & keep you safe! 💛🧡🩷
I am also so sorry this happened. I was trusting of court before having some experiences with DV and family court. It seems like it can’t be real… but it is not just a “horror story” that sometimes happens, it happens regularly. It’s not ok. And we need serious reform. Sending hugs. I’m so so sorry that all of this happened to you. I believe you and it shouldn’t have gone that way. Hoping for good thing in store for your future!
Is it a Democratic city? Coz their policy is atrocious. They side with criminals. Cops thinks you’re one of them and just pretending to be one of the victims. I really hope, there will be a special group in PD that handles such cases to better help you and others with similar situations. May God heal you and comfort you, may He give you strength to overcome and found joy in life again. He is our friend and our protector. 🙏🏻
Thank you guys. Weirdly it helps even hearing it from strangers. The crazy thing was my probation officer read my file met me and was in shock. She went to court and told them she doesn't understand why I'm even there. Why his charges are dropped and that it was ridiculous to have a victim victimized by the state. She was amazing. .
She conveniently leaves out the parts where she had run away multiple times before this horrific event and that she was the one that approached the guy and asked if he had some weed to smoke. She was a verrrrry messed up girl way before any of this happened. These animals saw how vulnerable she was and made their move.
she didn’t conveniently leave anything out the news probably had a certain thing they wanted to share. whatever. they have limited broadcasting time. Also, whether or not she was a ““ bad kid”” or not doesn’t matter it doesn’t excuse or justify what they did to her or the response and lack there of of the Dallas police department so fix your approach.
Even a prostitute is not asking 2 be raped!
Exactly. Not that it makes it justified, but play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Same as Elizabeth Smart case, parents wouldn't let her do sleepover, she plotted revenge toward parents, conspired with visiting handyman to come back and kidnap her to get back at her parents, she knew her kidnapper that's why justice Dept could only prosecute so much bcuz she went willingly she wasn't actually kidnapped. There's a back story
@@pilarq7886Wow I've never heard this
This needs to be shown to all parents also. Don’t let your kids go anywhere alone in this disgusting world. The devil runs it and you never know who he’s gonna send their way.
How stupid are the Dallas Police department's part! Why would she run away if she was at a game with her father! That would be an occasion when she would be happy not wanting to get away!
Dallas area police are the most corrupt and need to be investigated.
I was thinking the same. Seems like Dallas detectives are bunch of idiots
Wow! What a shame to the city of Dallas for fumbling on this!
But the video looked like 😢she left with a friend, not a terrified trafficked child..
I pray for your healing and peace. I hope you feel loved and protected at all times. I have a daughter a little older than you and I can’t imagine what you’ve been through. God will take care of them.
🥺 I'm so so very glad she was saved. But she's totally right, they always want to label a runaway, when many times it turns out to be much darker. And then they don't even search for them, because they've already decided not to. Its pathetic!
It's a shame that the government has no care about this crime because she did go meet someone from the center and smoked pot before being taken by some criminals 😮
Literally not a single person under the age of 60 cares that she smoked pot. I guarantee you the police didn't give one F about that and didn't use it as consideration for anything.
Y'all are blaming her? Do you really perfer a world where you can't meet someone new in public at an event where you clearly share an interest? We should be afraid of everyone? You're sick for blaming her.
Not to mention she WAS FIFTEEN. I bet these boomers made all the best decisions at 15. Like getting married and popping out kids with their 30 year old older husbands.
Then, when we decide not to talk to them or approach them, then they want to cry tears of blood
"We are lonely!" & Of course calling us modern women
I'll say this: these cops didn't do anything bcuz they didn't care! They classified her runaway bcuz they couldn't be bothered & maybe, just maybe they KNEW what was going on.
By keeping quiet they make extra $$$ & no one is the wiser
Meeting grown men as a minor is weird, and yes, we should be afraid of some people because this isn’t a perfect world
@@GoldieBrown-pc6mbno, they classified her as a runaway because she had a history of...running away 🤯
Teenagers are NAIVE. I was raised in a good Christian family & always well behaved. There was one year I was getting bullied a little bit & felt isolated bc i couldn’t go to sleepovers or do things with friends like the other kids bc my parents were so strict. I know it was out of protection but at 15 your mind isn’t developed & you don’t ever think about things like this. I snuck out 2 or 3 times which they never knew about. I made friends with 2 18 yr old guys from a high school basketball game & rode around with them. So theoretically it could have happened to me. This was in the 90’s so I knew nothing about the world- no cell phones. It was one rebellious streak. When I was able to drive I didn’t get into any trouble. I was still a straight A student, graduated at the top of my class & got scholarships & life went on peacefully. It really breaks my heart to see these comments about “well they went willingly”. Bad people are masters in manipulation tactics to make you think other wise. She was a KID. And she’s a VICTIM! I’m SO proud of her for speaking up, especially seeing these comments which make others stay silent thinking they’ll be blamed or not believed. She’s fighting a fight for awareness & I’m thankful for her 💜
The reason why most law enforcement agencies along with their local city and county governments refuse to get involved at all is because THEY ARE ALL IN ON IT 💯 💰
I wish they would explain how she ended up in the parking lot. Did these guys lie to her and tell her her parents were out there? Did she go willingly to go smoke weed? Did they force her to keep walking by threatening her? So many questions.
It doesn't matter,she is the minor and THEY are the criminals.
How come the part of how she was totally taken away is not explained in full detail?
I feel this report lacks something very important ... the whole truth!
And this is just ONE reason out of HUNDREDS why abortion needs to be legal in ALL states. What if she'd gotten pregnant, and had to endure carrying and birthing one of her rapists child... no one should have to endure that on top of all her other trauma.
The head of Dallas police department just moved to a non police job in Austin.
This is very heartbreaking and horrific!!
Thank you my a$$... Getting abused and trafficked doesn't make you stronger it gives you trauma and experiences you'd be better off without I don't feel stronger I'd give anything to take everything away that the trauma has given me these "survival skills" aren't necessary anywhere else in my life... Most people don't walk around with a 🔪 ready to use it most people don't walk around with the fear of getting yanked up out of nowhere or of standing within arms reach of literally everyone or of sudden movements or affection or basic kindness...
I'm so glad someone else commented this. ❤
As a father of a young lady. I would like to know how she left the stadium. To educate my daughter what to watch for. This says it happened but not how it happened.

There more to the story than what is being told here. The girl told her parents she was going to the bathroom but instead left with some guy to the parking lot to smoke weed. She is on surveillance walking away, clearly willingly. In the parking lot there were other guys there waiting who then all abducted her. This wasn't taken seriously right away because she had a history of running away. I'm not saying what happened to her is justified, but when you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes.
I reside in the DFW area. This is a horrible news the treatment of this very young beautiful woman! It seems like the criminals have it all over us honorable taxpayers! Keep your attitude sweetheart!

They must be held accountable.
This cute white girls shouldn’t have been talking to 6lack men she didn’t know. AND CBS shouldn’t be blurring the faces of them just because they’re not white.

@ Thank you.
So how exactly did these men take her from a crowded stadium? Tragic that this happened, but I think she bears some responsibility for her actions as well. I don't think she was very smart and she learned the hard way.
To go for a smoke or not, she is not at fault. They were the evil ones, criminals!
That's completely frightening that a young girl is not safe at a freaking arena where there should be security! Pisses me off. Hope her parents sued their butts off. Police Department, you are sick!!!
It's just not adding up for me. In another interview i saw she said they got in the car, went back to a home, smoked weed, and things didnt get scary for her until the two men allegedly raped her. The timeline of events is off. I thought she went home with the men, did drugs, then expected to be taken back to the game to go home with her dad. But she says in this interview that she was still in the parking lot after the game. So did she stay out in the parking lot with them untl the game ended AND THEN go home with them? Which would mean she had no plans of going home with her dad that night, and probaby the reason she left her phone with him. Or did they take her home, rape her, and then bring her BACK to the game? I understand why the Oklahoma guys were charged, as she said, they were completely different ppl. But i can also see why the Dallas guys were not charged because so much about that doesn't add up
I saw the same thing that she went to smoke with them...and would'nt the dad be worried of her in the moment she did not return...🤔 yeah! I don't believe this story....
@@elvia3068 My god can you read or listen? Her dad immediately once he realized she was missing went to the police officers INSIDE OF THE STADIUM begging them to check camera footage and LOOK for her. It's the F'ing DALLAS MAVERICKS STADIUM do you know how easy it is to lose a friend at it if they're wandering around and not going back to their seat? She was known for anxiety and would walk around when she had it, she was found literally walking up and down a street in OKC. Her dad probably thought she was decompressing and walking around the massive stadium FULL of police and security. She was still in the parking garage when the police REFUSED to look for her. You're a woman and saying this trash that you don't believe a 15 yo girl WHO WAS LITERALLY FOUND R'D and TRAFFICKED by a registered sex offender 30 years older than her in a $30 OKC motel known for escorts and trafficking and you don't believe her story? You think she made up being R'd for a week in OKC? You think the police made up finding her nude pictures online on escort sites? You think the 8 people arrested for R, sex trafficking, etc are fake? Elvia you're disgusting and I guarantee a stupid woman with no self respect.

Shame on the stupid Dallas police!
KAMALA where are The 350 THOUSAND CHILDREN MISSING from THE BORDER.
Ask Trump where they are since he’s the one that initially separated the children from their parents. Remember that.
She ran away from home several times before this... cant blame cops for not taking it super seriously the 4th or 5th time
this case is bizarre and there is more to this we do not know. someday we will find more of the truth
Never heard about this, I have a daughter. Sad, scary, heartbreaking. As owner did mark take any responsibility? I pray for you! Stay strong and live!
How is Dallas NOT CHARGING THE CRIMINAL WITH AT LEAST KIDNAPPING???
WOW, CBS is reporting current events?? Difficult current events that desperately need attention? Excuse me while I go outside and see if pigs are flying.
I'm so proud of this young woman for having the courage to share her experience and not let this get swept under the table.
This world we live in is corrupt & the justice system stinks.
So she willingly went to go smoke with these strangers? She takes no accountability of her actions. It's a terrible thing but you must be smart enough to NOT go smoke with strangers.
Accountability for what? Smoking? It's not smart to do anything with strangers. There. What happened to her from there is not even remotely her fault in any way. The men who did this are at fault. Thank God she doesn't blame herself. People spend years in therapy to learn that someone else's actions against them are not their fault.
She was a teen. She didn't have the ability to discern what was a danger.
@@annreynolds2048Well at age 15, you do. You may not be legally responsible at that age but at age 15 you know the difference between right and wrong. At age 15, I knew not to leave with adult strangers! It's not like she's 9 yrs old. This happened 2 years ago when she was entering the age of being a young lady. I think she went to hang and then realized she picked the wrong ppl to hang with. Maybe she planned on doing sexual acts but didn't plan on being trafficked!
@BreezeDaDon You misunderstood my point. She's a teen.. with teen hormones....with teen stupidity...with teen ideas that "nothing can hurt me. I'm smarter than my parents. I'm smart enough to outsmart others." Other words... BAD judgment. Don't you remember how dumb you acted as a teen? So what I meant is that, of course, she was dumb enough to put herself in harms way, BUT that doesn't give another person the right to drug her, abuse her, kidnap, or rape her!!!

It makes me wonder who knows what, and exactly who is involved in Dallas.
So she left with them voluntarily at first and then later on she was drugged and raped? Someone else said that in another video she said that she was looking to get drugs ?
Are you saying that women should never talk or walk with guys that are friendly? I suppose you are one of those people who believe there is no such thing as marital rape?
Teenagers do not always make great decisions. Whether it was poor decision making or not doesn't mean it wasn't wrong and that she wasn't trafficked.
@@bardnightingale No one said anything about marital rape. WTF

This girl is a good example to start listening. Wake up and do your jobs.
Im not an expert, but couldn't she file a civil suit against the texas men? Have they been identified so she could? This is so heartbreaking. As a mother of a young adult daughter, i can not even fathom this situation. I pray for your continued healing and for justice to be served.

Why in the HELL aren’t the FBI and U.S Marshals investigating this? This young lady was taken across state lines, drugged, raped and beaten. Hell, if they arrested Chuck Berry for doing almost the same thing, then what is their excuse?!
I hope and pray that this young lady gets the justice, from the state of Texas, that she deserves!! We NEED to watch out for potential trafficked people. We NEED to know the “code” for help, which is tucking the thumb into the palm, and wrapping the fingers over the thumb. This is the universal code for help!! I don’t care what we, as a society, have to do better to save trafficked people from their traffickers. We MUST do everything possible to save them.
Exactly why Ally Carter is handling her situation the way she is...CAN'T TRUST ANYONE 🤷🏾♂️
One word:
CORRUPTION.
When a police department doesn't do their JOB is because they are IN ON IT!!
Thank you OKLAHOMA. Much love from a very disappointed Texan.
I was surprised to learn DPD isn't even responding because Texas is a "conservative" state and the laws are very strict. But this is just either extreme laziness and/carelessness of their job. Or the more obvious reason, corruption.
15 year old girls should be able to leave their parents in busy cities, ask strangers for drugs, and get into cars with strangers without fear. This is terrible.
Without criminals being criminals and rapists being rapists, that would be true. Yes. Indeed. Men shouldn't rape. The justice system should stop facilitating these crimes and actually take them seriously.
Nice try though.
This seems pretty open and shut. It shouldn’t be assumed that anyone is “just a teenage runaway” and not looked for. If there is a concern they were abducted, it needs to be thoroughly checked out and investigated immediately.
And if someone goes to the bathroom and doesn’t come back at a sports game with their father.:.. you are not doing your job if you just ignore the issue… and should receive severe consequences.
Her consequences for their neglect was assault, rape and being trafficked. What was their consequence for their neglect?
They should stop labeling minors as runaways. There is no such thing unless the minor itself after found that she/he wants to runaway.
I thought we left "they're just a runaway" back in the 70s? Ok, so even if a MINOR actually runs away, is that not still an emergency? If I don't handle my work, then I get fired. If police don't handle their work, they are "just following protocol"
why is she walking voluntarily with him? People you do not trust anyone, never!!! do not go talk to strangers or date someone in an app and go with them!!! beware always, we live in a wicked world...
I agree 👍 💯 it's her fault
there’s another interview where she says she wanted to do drugs & she had a chance to leave but drugs were on her mind.
They had free weed and she wanted to party. It's hard to blame prosecutors when there isn't a clear point when she stopped volunteering for everything going on.
The movie "Taken" (Liam Neeson) does a pretty good depiction of how easy it is for a young girl to be convinced to voluntarily hang out with an obducter. They are professionals.
@@texasrex2557 professionals? Or is she just an idiot
By blurring the face of her abductor they are basically doing the same thing the police did, unwilling to trust the victim.
All I can think is “No baby you became the strong person you are because of YOU, do not thank them!” Even if she was a runaway, she was still a minor, it was still their responsibility to locate her!
Bout time mainstream media covered this
Love💕kindness forgiveness
Congratulations for surviving
Thank God for your rescue
If you’re looking for a cheap thrill, don’t talk to strangers. Her naiveté got the best of her. She has some accountability here. Not entirely, but some.
I’m pretty sure supposedly she went looking for these guys for “weed” at that mavericks game and got herself in over her head. She might be embarrassed about the pictures she took for the adds she put up and maybe that motivated the trafficking story? But something is definitely rotten in Denmark.
The cops should be on this...
...if they're tracking or trying to identify the criminals and this leads them on a years long mission they won't tell this poor girl anything...
That is the problem with ongoing investigation...
The victim is left in the dark...
Stay strong girl...
...your bravery will save many in time ❤️
Horrific and so sad!
It's 2024. Why are cops still using the old she's probably a runaway"!
please share this story!! if others never hear it they will never know ! you are so strong girl!
This is a bigger issue for Texas than one person, the fact that they are not looking at this as a trafficking ring is absurd. God bless this girl for her bravery! I pray she recovers the best she can from this unimaginable trauma.
I praise her for speaking out she is so brave and it's making everyone more aware, but no way would I say thank you they caused her alot of pain in her life and others.
What a travesty. Get it together, DPD!
I'm tired of the secular fraternities of this world. It's obvious that a secular fraternity did the little girls in Delphi and now this is just getting ridiculous and I'm tired of it.
Wait, did you advertise herself online???
I smell a lawsuit.
Don’t do drugs with strangers especially if you are a female and they are men. It doesn’t make it right what they did but if she made different decisions she wouldn’t have been in the situation in the first place. I don’t think we have to worry about her making the same mistake twice.
Sadly, the police/sheriff, and other police agencies are involved, that's why they won't investigate. They know where it might lead.
3:05 WHY ARE THEY BLURRING THIS CRIMINALS FACE???
What a strong young lady, unfortunately a lot of city police just don't do their job!!
There's 2 things I'm confused about... First one being, she mentioned multiple times that there was an "American Airlines center"...so they flew her to Oklahoma? And, if so, is that middle photo of the 3 lined up, her on the plane to Oklahoma? Cause she's got a HUGE smile on her face. The second thing I'm confused about, is that she literally THANKED the traffickers in her message to them. Sure, she said she'd never forgive them... But first she THANKED THEM!! I'm very confused by the storyline with this young woman. Not AT ALL saying that what happened to her is ok. Because it isn't! There's just some EXTREMELY ODD pieces to this story.
Not to blame a victim but what the hell were you doing walking with some strange guy
Texas needs to step up on REAL crimes! They are tough on victimless crimes but yet they do NOTHING to catch and lock away the REAL criminals with REAL victims!!!!!!!
I bid this victim who is speaking out GODSPEED!
You go girl!
So thankful you escaped in Oklahoma and I agree you will overcome and rise to become a force to be reckoned with as you go on to help others!!!!
I pray law enforcement and justice EVERYWHERE re-evaluates itself as to who and what they are dropping the punishment hammer upon!
Evil roams free today in Texas, while manpower is sent after traffic violences and drug offenders! I personally know of a non- violent guy from our neighborhood who's currently in prison because his last offense was from being stopped with expired tags and was caught with a baggie with some drug residue. I pass by his vacant house everyday to go to work! Grass overgrown and in ill repair while he rots away in prison and he never had a victim in any of his crimes! I got to know this neighbor only because when my husband was working out of town and our water well broke he came with his girlfriend and fixed it FOR FREE so our daughters and animals could have water! Yet today this guy from my neighborhood is locked away from society,his vehicle repossessed and losing everything he owned while this child's traffickers are roaming free here in Texas!
There are too many stories i am hearing just exactly like this one I KNOW to be the true reality here in Texas!
Where's,Mark Cuban's outrage? Where's his help?
He’s doesn’t own the mavericks, only a seal bit of it
