I'm an older man and I think a 40 something or older man trying to hit on a young woman who is clearly WAY younger than him is ABSOLUTELY 100% CREEPY. In my opinion any man who tries to hit on a woman who is young enough to be his daughter or even granddaughter is CREEPY period.
I dunno man, im 36 and I'd slide into her DMs ya kno. That said it's not weird, abnormal or creepy to want to smash someone that's reached full physical and sexual maturity. We're biologically hardwired that way. That's why elderly women aren't exactly a popular category on corn sites. 25 is essentially considered "too old" for not only that industry but modeling as well. Only reason why you don't see more 45 year old dudes dating 20 year olds is because they can't. Be rich and famous and 99% of the men saying "it's creepy" would also be doing it.
I knew exactly why Nevaeh posted the experience - she was trying to help others with a cautionary message as to what can happen to young girls ANYWHERE! She wanted to warn young people about the dangers while being alone away from home. The men who criticized her were projecting their own hangups and were incredibly insensitive what it’s like to be targeted! Nevaeh was smart to convey her fears to others and to serve as an example to help prevent future victims. I applaud her. I’m so sorry the commenters were so ugly and unsupportive. I’m ashamed of them. Thank God your beautiful girl is safe.
Don't let the KARENS of the internet put you down!!! You and your parents both have lots of followers..... You are teaching others about this. Keep up the good work..
An older man approaching a young lady asking for her personal information is a friggin creep no matter how she’s dressed. Her outfit wasn’t inappropriate by any stretch, it’s crazy that she cant wear a dress without being approached, an older man has no business asking any young female for her phone number or even approaching her when she’s alone. 1000% creep
I just had to come on and say how rude and stupid those comments were! I have daughter's and I appreciate that you put that video out. I showed my daughter's.
As a father, I spoke to my 20 yr old son & teenage daughter about this incident because we all have to be aware of our surroundings. As far as the comments from others, people say so much online that they’d never say in person. Blaming you all for this is asinine.
As a mama of both Men & Women.....I am appalled at those comments by the men! My sons would NEVER be dismissive of this! They were always taught by their Father to be courteous and PROTECTIVE of women (especially their mom, sisters and significant other). I am very appreciative that y'all DID bring this forward as a reminder.....life, in general, is so much different, these days. My youngest daughter is 21 and I STILL make her do check ins with us ;)
I agree. They are bringing this out into the media and people should listen and try and learn from her mistakes. Which shouldn’t have been a problem if the guys hadn’t had alter motives. Other ones that are being so negative and nasty about it also doing the same thing?
I am 81 yrs. old, and there have been predators my whole life. As a child my it was my babysitters husband. As a nurse it was fellow workers and patients. As I got older I finally figured out how to handle unwanted attention. The negative responses to the video were extreme but the same as when I was young. It is pitiful!
I commented on your video Nevaeh about my experience of being trafficked. I’m again so happy that you are okay and nothing more happened to you. You are so strong for sharing this experience with others, don’t ever let others make you feel like you shouldn’t have said anything!! I was kidnapped and sold and escaped out of San Diego, taken from Minnesota. This does happen and we have to believe people when they say something!! ❤
So glad you escaped. I pray for those in chains to be released in Jesus name. Bind the hands of the enemy Lord. Strike Holy fear into the hearts of the abusers. I pray angels go minister to those in captivity. I pray You Lord give them hope through Holy Spirit and Angels be dispensed on your behalf.
Good heavens! Sorry for the criticism you are getting Nevaeh. As a father of 3 daughters, you, absolutely, did the right thing by contacting LEOs. Young w, in particular, need to be in condition red all the time now. Those who are critical are probably nefarious themselves. I have had to protect and escort young women who were being stalked. This is very real. Thank you for getting the word out.
What is wrong with people!!?!! She’s 18 yrs old! Her life experiences are limited, she reacted appropriately in the situation. These guys saying she’s lying or looking for attention are ridiculous and not real men. Are they in denial that sex trafficking is even going on?? I live in Louisville, Ky it’s a real problem here, especially during the Derby.
As a 40-year-old woman, I sometimes have difficulty recognizing danger. Please be kind to yourself. You made the best decision you could at the time. Thank you for sharing your experience. I have forwarded the video to my sister so that she can be more vigilant in protecting my niece.❤
Aloha🌺Jeremy & Melissa!! One of my family members was traffickted from Honolulu to the mainland when she was 15-yrs old and that was 17yrs ago.. Got on my knees & prayed & fasted for 3days and on the 3rd day they found her!! Glory to God🙏🙏🙏!!
Pay ZERO attention to any negative comments! YOU ARE SAFE!!! What else could anyone possibly care about! So glad you shared your story but especially that your ok! HUGS!
Rich women should be able to wear all their diamond jewelry and walk down any street in New York, but it would be crazy to think she wouldn't attract unwanted attention.
As a mother, daughter and female this reinstates my FAITH that there are GREAT people out there. Again, thanks for sharing all of this with the world because we ALL need to be aware! Koodoos to the AMERICAN Airline Security Director. He is definitely on the ball and in the right position. So sad that there are so many males that are STUPID, so sad that they are self absorbed and can't even think about helping our helpless women out there. My ending thought on this is: SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING! Love you guys and so Happy you are safe Nevaeh, that's the important take from this!! 🥰
You did the right thing N. Someone following you from airport to hotel to conference is definitely a stalker. It is your right to inform young people about what could happen to them and to be aware of the unexpected. Great follow up.🎉
The guy condemning comments are ridiculous. She was minding her business and clearly approached in a creepy manor. I commend all of you for making people aware of this!
30 year LEO. This is exactly why we tell people “ see something say something”. You should be very proud of yourself for recognizing a problem. I shared with my daughter ( 20) and my wife. This is a difficult thing to teach and you did well. By the way …21 years of my service were in the DFW metro. Good job young lady and kudos to AA for being proactive. If this guy try’s again he will be easy to find
My daughter is Single, age 24…in college. I will NOT ALLOW her to fly alone anywhere away from our home state. Her Dad died 7 years ago and she has two older brothers. I have trained her about walking out from work alone,at night, in parking lots,etc! Parents TEACH your daughters EXTREME CAUTION 24/7! Glad you’re okay NEVEAH. Just because a child is considered A LEGAL ADULT at age 18 doesn’t mean they are an ADULT emotionally,mentally, physically and spiritually!
So proud of you for speaking. We live in a different world and everyone needs to be aware of their surroundings. Mama bear and papa bear thank you for being great parents
Anyone with a critical thinking brain KNOWS it was a highly suspect incident AND the security head for American Airlines said it WAS a bad situation! People need to quit being so critical. There IS a huge problem with these sickos who approach young girls & children & if those innocents are naive- they are taken and never seen again! I am so grateful she is ok, and that it was dealt with. Thank you for making this PSA for young people, parents & grandparents in daily life & when traveling. Much respect!!
I am a 74 year old woman and when I am out and about I am so observant as to what’s going on. If I would have observed Naveya in her situation, I would have gone up to her and just sat down and start a “ What’s going on “ conversation! WT H is wrong with people who won’t step in? I am so happy this turned out well and thank you mom and dad for being diligent and talking about this. It is a REAL thing! God Bless You!❤❤❤
Especially that this is coming from someone who is a former law enforcement officer....I greatly appreciate your perspective and the greater understanding I gained on human trafficking from this interview...because this has happened to my girls and I didn't realize what was happening....totally brushed off the incident as a "creepy old guy".
Recently, in my county, a lady went missing after a domestic argument. It started a major awareness in our area of just how many people are missing. People of various ages, genders, and circumstances. I'm sure some are run away or homeless, but not all. Currently in the county I live in there are roughly 195 people missing. The unfortunate result of online mean, bullying, idiotic comments is we dismiss the real danger. Thank you for raising awareness.
I have taught my boys who are grown 19 and 22 that if they come across a scene with a creepy guy and an uncomfortable girl to act like their boyfriend and say thank you for waiting for me. Then they introduce himself to the creep to try to get a name. Unfortunately they have had to do this several times here in Canada so it is everywhere. The girls were extremely thankful. It’s horrible that these actions are so common now. Terrifying!
You DID do a lot of things right! You have good instincts. Thank you for putting this out there and I’m so sorry for the awful comments. You are making a difference in this world! ❤
I love your whole family. Block all of those sick men, with the negative comments, who are watching your channel. You don't need them. I promise you, they are only watching for one reason. They need a real life!!!
Hi as a mother i have.chills watching this i have heard you talk about this , but seeing your daughter,she is a young girl travelling alone why would people criticize her this is a lesson learned and I hope it does not deter her from travelling
Thanks for the update. Don’t listen to these men and women that was criticizing you, they are probably traffickers themselves. You did the right thing warning people about this man. I will be watching my surroundings since your videos. Thanks so much for sharing. Blessings
The comments you got! Good grief! 😝 There are some really lost and/or crazy people out there! Thanks for sharing. We're "sheltered country bumpkins" and this gave us an opportunity for a good discussion with our kids. (Always good to have these kinds of discussions!)
Very disappointed in people for criticizing you over this!! Ignore them. At best they aren’t worth another thought and at worst, they’re part of the problem. The criminals bank on fools like that. Very worthwhile program. Thank you.
Guy's I'm with you 100 Percent. There are a lot of sick people out there and they don't have anything else to do. Just keep doing what your doing and don't let them get you down.
Thank you for sharing the update. I have a young daughter who has had these issues before. It’s to the point she will not go into Walmart by herself and we live in a small town. It is hard to be a young person in this world.
The predators are mostly men,but they also use women to lure young women and young menI am proud of you for letting women out there be aware of these criminals. If some people are negative towards you,don't worry . No matter how you were dressed , no one should get in your space without your permission. The negativity from viewers are really sick.
How sad that people would say anything bad about your daughter! I am so sorry to hear that! Of course she was overwhelmed her first time flying alone at an airport! Shoot - that happens to me now and I'm in 50's! I am so glad your daughter is okay and didn't become just another statistic! Thank you for bringing this into the light and for being such great parents! This podcast I am positive will save countless other victims from possible abduction! Thank you for your action on this matter and for being such supportive, attentive parents! God bless your family!
4-5 men in the car is the most scary and dangerous 😳🙈 God is so good to watch over your daughter and pray for others as well. I’m a Fireman’s daughter and he taught me so much.
No one should ever give negative comments. Thanking God for His protection of you. I’m sorry this happened during your first solo trip. You are providing good awareness of a terrible situation that IS happening everywhere. And if you have an IPhone (not sure of others) it will tell you if an AirTag is on you. My daughter delivered packages and her phone alerted her. It was in one of the packages, I guess that’s becoming common. I put them in our luggage while traveling.
Again, as I stated when you originally stated after this happened, I’m so glad you got away from the situation when you did. Ignore the foolish statements the nabobs say. Keep your head on a swivel and stay safe.
I am so happy you have shared this story. The more information that is out there it may save someone's life. My daughter travels to visit us alone. We had an instance where her plane was delayed and she was shipped to a terrible hotel. I was in panic mode and we arranged for her to be moved. I just felt it in my soul to get her moved. Thank you and people are idiots for criticizing this story so much.
Thank you for the follow up on this. It brings awareness for the youth of our country. Very sad that this has what the world has come to. Glad she's safe.
Glad you are okay Nevaeh. Good you guys are sharing. A message for our times for sure. All those that made insulting comments....Nevada did nothing wrong. She didn't act suspicious, she didn't stalk someone, she didn't loiter around an airport looking for attention.Put the blame where it belongs. Predatory men, evil men with bad intentions are to blame. Period! If men have a bad reputations in this day and age, it's because you probably deserve it. Your comments are uncalled for, they are disrespectful and I would rather have a young woman safe than worry about the fragile egos of men. Get real. Good job Melissa and Jeremy and nevaeh.
Hey guys, I live in Dallas Texas and this really is a shame, that this has happen to Nevah and don't listen to the morons, just remember that people have the right to be stupid. I have followed you guys for some time now and I have seen your kids grow up and you guys are family. Jeremy my brother if you ever need info or a contact in Dallas for what ever help you guys may need, just reach out. I don't think Nevah did anything wrong for her 1st time out, remember you can always apologize later if your wrong. You guys are doing great!!!
I was visiting N.C. went to the Walmart and a cute guy walked up to me and said your beautiful and kept walking up to me and I felt something is wrong I walked away to find my friend and told her some guy is trying to pick me up or is a killer we just laughed about it and I seen your video and same thing happened to me I'm 59 years old Thank You for telling your story ❤
Thank you very much for both of the podcasts. See trafficking is so prevalent. Our daughter has worked several years with gals that have been rescued from trafficking. This needs to be talked about.
As far as I can tell you did everything right don't let these naysayers do whatever they want to do trying to hurt you or bring you down because they're jerks I'm so glad God protected you and may God continue to bless you and your family
It continues to boggle my mind of how awful people have become ! I’m so Thankful they took the extra steps and investigated! There are to many young women who are assaulted or disappear. Ad your experience will help someone in the future and what to look for. I shared your podcast about your experience with my daughter and my grand daughter ! God bless you guys ❤️
I think you did the right thing showing what happened to you. And there will always be negative people but that's their issue not yours. My first time alone away from home in 1975, I was 17 with a newborn and it didn't stop guys from making moves. However, I don't take crap from anyone, so they did back off. I'm proud of you.
Love your UA-cam channels. I am so glad you share your lives with us. Never let other people hold you back. There are always haters you can't make everyone happy.
What has our society become? So sorry you had to go through those nasty comments Neveah. I myself have experience similar thing and I was blamed for what I was "wearing". Thank you so much for speaking up!
How very frustrating for you all with these negative comments. I am so sorry. Some people are just not sensitive to how their words can affect others in such a hurtful way. I am also happy that you all have each other to navigate all the negative talk. You all are sweet and amazing. Keep doing what you’re doing. You are supported here.
As a father and grandfather, this is very disturbing. I will state here, if you are ever in the NY/NJ area and need support, you have just to ask. Anyone in your family.
How were there not PARENTS that felt the need to protect her? As a MOM, had I seen this, I would have HAD to step in and at the VERY LEAST sat down WITH her and stayed with her until safety arrived. You can't tell me NO ONE saw this or watched from a seat nearby. HOW did adults nearby not feel the need to step in and protect Nevaeh I cannot comprehend this? I'd rather be WRONG and have to explain to someone I was trying to protect your child than ignore it and see a Missing report later. This is terrifying! I have myself had comments bc I homeschool how I'm robbing my children and should be shamed I'm harming them by not slapping them in public schools, and I've heard this from my own FAMILY. Everyone has a opinion, I've also seen how THEIR children have grown up in public situations. So I'll take my chances homeschooling and keeping my children close by. People look, we have to stop VICTIM BLAMING. I'm SO ASHAMED of society for trying to shame her, WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE!!! If you have children or grandkids YOU BETTER STOP BLAMING AND START STANDING UP, God forbid, this may be your child one day and you better pray someone is more protective of your child than "society" has been of Nevaeh! Good Lord this is why there are OVER 400,000 CHILDREN MISSING TODAY. Let THAT sink In!!!!! If you found her sharing what happened to her "Offensive ' GET HELP and let someone else protect YOUR children. Should you be in a public place and see a "Nevaeh" sitting alone and some idiot stalking her, PROTECT HER! OMG the more Nevaeh reads these comments the more my Righteous indignation is soaring! @Nevaeh, You undoubtedly Saved lives! God bless you and PROTECT YOU ALWAYS! AND NO THIS IS AMERICA SHE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO COVER HEAD TO TOE, STOP IT!!! I gotta stop I'm getting past angry. God help society it's truly demented! And STOP LEAVING " GODLY" COMMENTS THAT ARE "ASS"ANINE!! (spelled wrong for a reason) Whoever quoted the Bible needs to come to know GOD BECAUSE THAT ATTEMPT AT SCRIPTURE WAS WRONG. GOD IN HEAVEN, how you must laugh at the amount of IDIOCY humans possess. THANK YOU for Sharing this and not letting it go. Yes, there are IDIOTS out there but I TRULY believe You guys Saved Lives by stepping up. God bless you!
Nevaeh and family I am so sorry that we have so many woke selfish people in this world that can’t see what’s really going on and that have to criticize what others are trying to bring to the forefront and potentially help others. As a mother of two young girls, I have headed your video and shared it with mine as a very concerned, mother and what’s going on in this world. And the biblical things that are going on in this world and coming to the forefront so thank you for your video and once again I’m sorry for other peoples straight up ignorance.
I once called 911 because of a highway incident, involving an 18-wheeler, and its distinctive looking driver. Thirty miles later...DHS, FBI, DEA, State Police (and a helicopter) were able to stop him. Weeks later, a tiny piece appeared in a local newspaper reported that a truck driving school was identified as having a number of foreign students were applying for hazardous materials certification. Because a threat had not occurred, they were only able to shut down the school because of fraudulent (?) grant applications. If you see something, say something.
Wow! I can't believe people thought your daughter was just trying to get attention, when she was trying to raise awareness. It was so obvious that she was being scouted out. I am grateful for her trying to raise awareness because I have a 16 year old granddaughter who sometimes travels to Dallas Texas airport and her other grandparents in Houston. I mean obviously we're not going to purposely put her in a position that is unsafe, but now we know to be extra careful. Thank you for raising awareness!
It is good that you shared this as a heads up for all the other young women out there. So glad you are safe. And that your parents are concerned about this.
So thankful you are safe and thank you for making us aware of how this can happen. Now you have more tools to protect yourself. My Mom always says listen to your gut. Valuable advice.❤ I'm going to go view Nevaeh video and show my granddaughter.
I think the people who made the negative comments are always looking for reasons to make them regardless of the content. I also think Nevaeh learned some great lessons and she’ll be much better prepared now. She reacted to the situation like almost all girls would have. I appreciate her putting out her video. It will help others and that was obviously her intention. ❤
As an older woman, I have to speak up. I have heard some of the things that have been said to you my entire life. Things like men cannot control themselves if they see a woman who exposes her legs/arms/toes/etc. It's as though they are saying these men are intellectually hindered and don't have any understanding about how they are to behave. If that were the case, then why are we putting them into positions of authority? It's absolutely absurd. Every human being is created to be equal to everyone else, male or female, and is responsible for their own behavior.
Not trying to diss anyone, Modesty 'is a Virtue. If I was younger I would try to not stand out. Dress like you are an undercover cop. Lol This world is so deceptive. Protect yourself, & try not to stand out. Your beautiful & saving yourself for your future husband. Keep smiling.
In a way, it’s confirming that we should be cautious. They are so insistent that these men exist, exactly! That’s why it’s so important to make women aware of the tactics that they use to lure them into all kinds of situations. Like…thank you, you’re making our point for us!!! (Obviously they are trying to make excuses for it, but spinning it to our advantage is my point here. They don’t realize the stupidity of what they are actually saying, but this is why I never argue with people like that. What’s the point? Why would I argue against anyone who’s going to step up and make my point for me? 😂)
Naveah WASN'T trying to "Draw Attention" to herself...she was minding her own business when this creep came up to her asking PERSONAL Info he had NO business asking!!@@judydoshier1114
Oh I am so impressed with American Airlines. I am so glad you have been validated Nuevah. This will help others and I am really impressed that they found the guy it's to bad they couldn't track them to your hotel GREAT JOB BY ALL.
Your family is bringing awareness to the human trafficking problem we are having ! Keep talking about it- silence is what 'they' want! Thank you for your courage! You are blessed and thank our Heavenly Father you are safe!
My daughter taught "Lady Beware" courses at University to women. It teaches situational awareness of danger zones-escape routes, self defense/escape moves and typical stalker/creeper behaviors. Once taught, they rehersed scenarios and actions constantly to provide muscle memory to take them past the "freeze" insinct. Avoidance and escape are the best defense for a woman.
Thank you for the update! And yes as women, we need to be more assertive in uncomfortable situations. One time I approached a little girl and her Grandpa playing kind of a weird game in a park. She was laughing, but my Mama Bear instincts kicked in. I asked the little girl if that was her Grandpa. She said yes. Later the Grandpa came over to me, and he said in a round about way thanking me for checking up on her. He realized their hide and seek game was a little off. I'm 68, and my BFF is 72. We hang out a lot together - because we know we are safer together out in public. Kind of sad but wise to do so.
I'm an older man and I think a 40 something or older man trying to hit on a young woman who is clearly WAY younger than him is ABSOLUTELY 100% CREEPY. In my opinion any man who tries to hit on a woman who is young enough to be his daughter or even granddaughter is CREEPY period.
I dunno man, im 36 and I'd slide into her DMs ya kno. That said it's not weird, abnormal or creepy to want to smash someone that's reached full physical and sexual maturity. We're biologically hardwired that way. That's why elderly women aren't exactly a popular category on corn sites. 25 is essentially considered "too old" for not only that industry but modeling as well. Only reason why you don't see more 45 year old dudes dating 20 year olds is because they can't. Be rich and famous and 99% of the men saying "it's creepy" would also be doing it.

I knew exactly why Nevaeh posted the experience - she was trying to help others with a cautionary message as to what can happen to young girls ANYWHERE! She wanted to warn young people about the dangers while being alone away from home. The men who criticized her were projecting their own hangups and were incredibly insensitive what it’s like to be targeted! Nevaeh was smart to convey her fears to others and to serve as an example to help prevent future victims. I applaud her. I’m so sorry the commenters were so ugly and unsupportive. I’m ashamed of them. Thank God your beautiful girl is safe.
Anyone making hateful comments are making excuses for their behavior. PERIOD!
Thankyou Lord God for keeping this precious young lady safe.
Amen
Glad there was follow-up on this from the airline and law enforcement. Thanks for the update!
So happy you are safe- NEVER apologize for listening to your instincts!
Don't let the KARENS of the internet put you down!!! You and your parents both have lots of followers..... You are teaching others about this. Keep up the good work..
An older man approaching a young lady asking for her personal information is a friggin creep no matter how she’s dressed.

Aloha🌺Jeremy & Melissa!! One of my family members was traffickted from Honolulu to the mainland when she was 15-yrs old and that was 17yrs ago.. Got on my knees & prayed & fasted for 3days and on the 3rd day they found her!! Glory to God🙏🙏🙏!!
Praise God! He is gracious and merciful.

Rich women should be able to wear all their diamond jewelry and walk down any street in New York, but it would be crazy to think she wouldn't attract unwanted attention.
As a mother, daughter and female this reinstates my FAITH that there are GREAT people out there. Again, thanks for sharing all of this with the world because we ALL need to be aware! Koodoos to the AMERICAN Airline Security Director. He is definitely on the ball and in the right position. So sad that there are so many males that are STUPID, so sad that they are self absorbed and can't even think about helping our helpless women out there. My ending thought on this is: SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING!
Love you guys and so Happy you are safe Nevaeh, that's the important take from this!! 🥰
This mother of 4 grown daughters and multiple grandchildren, I am glad you are home and safe...
You did the right thing N. Someone following you from airport to hotel to conference is definitely a stalker. It is your right to inform young people about what could happen to them and to be aware of the unexpected. Great follow up.🎉
I cannot believe the comments!!!
I sat my teen grandchildren about the episode so that they would be aware!! Thank you so much for sharing!!!!!
Those making hateful comments clearly don’t know your hearts.
People are sick. I think it was great that you have brought this incident out. Small minds. No wonder our society is failing.
The guy condemning comments are ridiculous. She was minding her business and clearly approached in a creepy manor. I commend all of you for making people aware of this!
Mom and Dad you were amazing ❤
30 year LEO. This is exactly why we tell people “ see something say something”. You should be very proud of yourself for recognizing a problem. I shared with my daughter ( 20) and my wife. This is a difficult thing to teach and you did well. By the way …21 years of my service were in the DFW metro. Good job young lady and kudos to AA for being proactive. If this guy try’s again he will be easy to find
My daughter is Single, age 24…in college. I will NOT ALLOW her to fly alone anywhere away from our home state. Her Dad died 7 years ago and she has two older brothers. I have trained her about walking out from work alone,at night, in parking lots,etc!
Parents TEACH your daughters EXTREME CAUTION 24/7!
Glad you’re okay NEVEAH.
Just because a child is considered A LEGAL ADULT at age 18 doesn’t mean they are an ADULT emotionally,mentally,
physically and spiritually!
So proud of you for speaking. We live in a different world and everyone needs to be aware of their surroundings. Mama bear and papa bear thank you for being great parents
Anyone with a critical thinking brain KNOWS it was a highly suspect incident AND the security head for American Airlines said it WAS a bad situation! People need to quit being so critical. There IS a huge problem with these sickos who approach young girls & children & if those innocents are naive- they are taken and never seen again! I am so grateful she is ok, and that it was dealt with. Thank you for making this PSA for young people, parents & grandparents in daily life & when traveling. Much respect!!
I am a 74 year old woman and when I am out and about I am so observant as to what’s going on. If I would have observed Naveya in her situation, I would have gone up to her and just sat down and start a “ What’s going on “ conversation! WT H is wrong with people who won’t step in? I am so happy this turned out well and thank you mom and dad for being diligent and talking about this. It is a REAL thing! God Bless You!❤❤❤
Your daughter is a credit to you both for being so switched on at such a young age, well done to you both ❤❤
Especially that this is coming from someone who is a former law enforcement officer....I greatly appreciate your perspective and the greater understanding I gained on human trafficking from this interview...because this has happened to my girls and I didn't realize what was happening....totally brushed off the incident as a "creepy old guy".
Recently, in my county, a lady went missing after a domestic argument. It started a major awareness in our area of just how many people are missing. People of various ages, genders, and circumstances. I'm sure some are run away or homeless, but not all. Currently in the county I live in there are roughly 195 people missing.
The unfortunate result of online mean, bullying, idiotic comments is we dismiss the real danger.
Thank you for raising awareness.
I have taught my boys who are grown 19 and 22 that if they come across a scene with a creepy guy and an uncomfortable girl to act like their boyfriend and say thank you for waiting for me. Then they introduce himself to the creep to try to get a name. Unfortunately they have had to do this several times here in Canada so it is everywhere. The girls were extremely thankful. It’s horrible that these actions are so common now. Terrifying!
My son has done the same several times.
You DID do a lot of things right! You have good instincts. Thank you for putting this out there and I’m so sorry for the awful comments. You are making a difference in this world! ❤
These cowardly men making dumb comments makes me mad asf. Grow up clowns
Thank u for being this up and showing some how to handle situation
Comments can be so negative, ignore them. So sorry you had to go thru this. Be safe! 💞
I love your whole family. Block all of those sick men, with the negative comments, who are watching your channel. You don't need them. I promise you, they are only watching for one reason. They need a real life!!!
Hi as a mother i have.chills watching this i have heard you talk about this , but seeing your daughter,she is a young girl travelling alone why would people criticize her this is a lesson learned and I hope it does not deter her from travelling
hindsight is 20/20. You did well and learned from the experience and will be in a better position to react if this ever happens again.
Thanks for the update. Don’t listen to these men and women that was criticizing you, they are probably traffickers themselves. You did the right thing warning people about this man. I will be watching my surroundings since your videos. Thanks so much for sharing. Blessings
THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS STORY!! It IS LEGITIMATELY happening! My daughter has witnessed it @ DIA airport! Stay safe out there....
The comments you got! Good grief! 😝 There are some really lost and/or crazy people out there!
Thanks for sharing. We're "sheltered country bumpkins" and this gave us an opportunity for a good discussion with our kids. (Always good to have these kinds of discussions!)
Very disappointed in people for criticizing you over this!! Ignore them. At best they aren’t worth another thought and at worst, they’re part of the problem. The criminals bank on fools like that. Very worthwhile program. Thank you.
Those guys saying the guy was good and you were bad are probably human traffickers themselves and trying to desensitize people in that situation.
Honestly they're probably incels.
Guy's I'm with you 100 Percent. There are a lot of sick people out there and they don't have anything else to do. Just keep doing what your doing and don't let them get you down.
As LEO, this would be a super difficult interview to do with my child. God bless Jeremy. I would still be nauseated...
Thank you for sharing the update. I have a young daughter who has had these issues before. It’s to the point she will not go into Walmart by herself and we live in a small town. It is hard to be a young person in this world.
The predators are mostly men,but they also use women to lure young women and young menI am proud of you for letting women out there be aware of these criminals. If some people are negative towards you,don't worry . No matter how you were dressed , no one should get in your space without your permission. The negativity from viewers are really sick.
How sad that people would say anything bad about your daughter! I am so sorry to hear that! Of course she was overwhelmed her first time flying alone at an airport! Shoot - that happens to me now and I'm in 50's! I am so glad your daughter is okay and didn't become just another statistic! Thank you for bringing this into the light and for being such great parents! This podcast I am positive will save countless other victims from possible abduction! Thank you for your action on this matter and for being such supportive, attentive parents! God bless your family!
4-5 men in the car is the most scary and dangerous 😳🙈 God is so good to watch over your daughter and pray for others as well.
I’m a Fireman’s daughter and he taught me so much.
No one should ever give negative comments. Thanking God for His protection of you. I’m sorry this happened during your first solo trip. You are providing good awareness of a terrible situation that IS happening everywhere. And if you have an IPhone (not sure of others) it will tell you if an AirTag is on you. My daughter delivered packages and her phone alerted her. It was in one of the packages, I guess that’s becoming common. I put them in our luggage while traveling.
Again, as I stated when you originally stated after this happened, I’m so glad you got away from the situation when you did. Ignore the foolish statements the nabobs say. Keep your head on a swivel and stay safe.
I am so happy you have shared this story. The more information that is out there it may save someone's life. My daughter travels to visit us alone. We had an instance where her plane was delayed and she was shipped to a terrible hotel. I was in panic mode and we arranged for her to be moved. I just felt it in my soul to get her moved. Thank you and people are idiots for criticizing this story so much.
Thank you for the follow up on this. It brings awareness for the youth of our country. Very sad that this has what the world has come to. Glad she's safe.
Thank you I appreciate you sharing this. I have beautiful young granddaughters and I am sharing this .❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Also guilty of not being aware of my surroundings sadly 😞 . I am sooo sorry this happened to you. Thank you for sharing this 🙏 ❤️ 😊.
Glad you are okay Nevaeh. Good you guys are sharing. A message for our times for sure. All those that made insulting comments....Nevada did nothing wrong. She didn't act suspicious, she didn't stalk someone, she didn't loiter around an airport looking for attention.Put the blame where it belongs. Predatory men, evil men with bad intentions are to blame. Period! If men have a bad reputations in this day and age, it's because you probably deserve it. Your comments are uncalled for, they are disrespectful and I would rather have a young woman safe than worry about the fragile egos of men. Get real. Good job Melissa and Jeremy and nevaeh.
She's a first-time young adult...give her a break people!
She’s a first time traveling alone 18 year old.
Hey guys, I live in Dallas Texas and this really is a shame, that this has happen to Nevah and don't listen to the morons, just remember that people have the right to be stupid. I have followed you guys for some time now and I have seen your kids grow up and you guys are family. Jeremy my brother if you ever need info or a contact in Dallas for what ever help you guys may need, just reach out. I don't think Nevah did anything wrong for her 1st time out, remember you can always apologize later if your wrong. You guys are doing great!!!
I was visiting N.C. went to the Walmart and a cute guy walked up to me and said your beautiful and kept walking up to me and I felt something is wrong I walked away to find my friend and told her some guy is trying to pick me up or is a killer we just laughed about it and I seen your video and same thing happened to me I'm 59 years old Thank You for telling your story ❤
I’m glad y’all did share this. Young people need to be aware of the dangers. 💕🙏
Good to know security cameras document the people involved. Everyone has to be more aware of their surroundings!
Thank you for continuing to alert people of the dangers in this crazy world. I'm older but am always aware of what's happening around me.
So glad she is safe and sharing this will help others.
Thank you very much for both of the podcasts. See trafficking is so prevalent. Our daughter has worked several years with gals that have been rescued from trafficking. This needs to be talked about.
Great for sharing Nevaeh. Airline I have great respect for you too. Mom and Dad you doing great. GOD BLESS 🙏❤️
Over the past few years, human trafficking has been at an all time high. It's sickening and disgusting. So glad you are OK.
Thanks for bringing awareness. Much appreciated. This could hane been worse.
As far as I can tell you did everything right don't let these naysayers do whatever they want to do trying to hurt you or bring you down because they're jerks I'm so glad God protected you and may God continue to bless you and your family
It continues to boggle my mind of how awful people have become ! I’m so Thankful they took the extra steps and investigated! There are to many young women who are assaulted or disappear. Ad your experience will help someone in the future and what to look for. I shared your podcast about your experience with my daughter and my grand daughter ! God bless you guys ❤️
I think you did the right thing showing what happened to you. And there will always be negative people but that's their issue not yours. My first time alone away from home in 1975, I was 17 with a newborn and it didn't stop guys from making moves. However, I don't take crap from anyone, so they did back off. I'm proud of you.
Love your UA-cam channels. I am so glad you share your lives with us. Never let other people hold you back. There are always haters you can't make everyone happy.
Goid for all of you to bring this forward. You just know what is out there. Stay safe.
Excellent video. Glad she is safe and unharmed.
He's on a "list" now. That's at least something, fortunately.
You guys are the true voice of what it means to be free. I applaud you all!
What has our society become? So sorry you had to go through those nasty comments Neveah. I myself have experience similar thing and I was blamed for what I was "wearing". Thank you so much for speaking up!
How very frustrating for you all with these negative comments. I am so sorry. Some people are just not sensitive to how their words can affect others in such a hurtful way. I am also happy that you all have each other to navigate all the negative talk. You all are sweet and amazing. Keep doing what you’re doing. You are supported here.
As a father and grandfather, this is very disturbing. I will state here, if you are ever in the NY/NJ area and need support, you have just to ask. Anyone in your family.
How were there not PARENTS that felt the need to protect her? As a MOM, had I seen this, I would have HAD to step in and at the VERY LEAST sat down WITH her and stayed with her until safety arrived. You can't tell me NO ONE saw this or watched from a seat nearby. HOW did adults nearby not feel the need to step in and protect Nevaeh I cannot comprehend this? I'd rather be WRONG and have to explain to someone I was trying to protect your child than ignore it and see a Missing report later. This is terrifying!
I have myself had comments bc I homeschool how I'm robbing my children and should be shamed I'm harming them by not slapping them in public schools, and I've heard this from my own FAMILY. Everyone has a opinion, I've also seen how THEIR children have grown up in public situations. So I'll take my chances homeschooling and keeping my children close by.
People look, we have to stop VICTIM BLAMING. I'm SO ASHAMED of society for trying to shame her, WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE!!!
If you have children or grandkids YOU BETTER STOP BLAMING AND START STANDING UP, God forbid, this may be your child one day and you better pray someone is more protective of your child than "society" has been of Nevaeh! Good Lord this is why there are OVER 400,000 CHILDREN MISSING TODAY. Let THAT sink In!!!!! If you found her sharing what happened to her "Offensive ' GET HELP and let someone else protect YOUR children.
Should you be in a public place and see a "Nevaeh" sitting alone and some idiot stalking her, PROTECT HER! OMG the more Nevaeh reads these comments the more my Righteous indignation is soaring!
@Nevaeh, You undoubtedly Saved lives! God bless you and PROTECT YOU ALWAYS!
AND NO THIS IS AMERICA SHE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO COVER HEAD TO TOE, STOP IT!!!
I gotta stop I'm getting past angry. God help society it's truly demented!
And STOP LEAVING " GODLY" COMMENTS THAT ARE "ASS"ANINE!! (spelled wrong for a reason) Whoever quoted the Bible needs to come to know GOD BECAUSE THAT ATTEMPT AT SCRIPTURE WAS WRONG. GOD IN HEAVEN, how you must laugh at the amount of IDIOCY humans possess.
THANK YOU for Sharing this and not letting it go. Yes, there are IDIOTS out there but I TRULY believe You guys Saved Lives by stepping up. God bless you!
Well spoken I couldn’t agree more thank you.
YOU KEEP POSTING ABOUT THIS! PEOPLE NEED TO WAKE UP AND BE AWARE. Glad u have parents that care.
Nevaeh and family I am so sorry that we have so many woke selfish people in this world that can’t see what’s really going on and that have to criticize what others are trying to bring to the forefront and potentially help others. As a mother of two young girls, I have headed your video and shared it with mine as a very concerned, mother and what’s going on in this world. And the biblical things that are going on in this world and coming to the forefront so thank you for your video and once again I’m sorry for other peoples straight up ignorance.
I once called 911 because of a highway incident, involving an 18-wheeler, and its distinctive looking driver. Thirty miles later...DHS, FBI, DEA, State Police (and a helicopter) were able to stop him. Weeks later, a tiny piece appeared in a local newspaper reported that a truck driving school was identified as having a number of foreign students were applying for hazardous materials certification. Because a threat had not occurred, they were only able to shut down the school because of fraudulent (?) grant applications. If you see something, say something.
Wow! I can't believe people thought your daughter was just trying to get attention, when she was trying to raise awareness. It was so obvious that she was being scouted out. I am grateful for her trying to raise awareness because I have a 16 year old granddaughter who sometimes travels to Dallas Texas airport and her other grandparents in Houston. I mean obviously we're not going to purposely put her in a position that is unsafe, but now we know to be extra careful. Thank you for raising awareness!
It is good that you shared this as a heads up for all the other young women out there. So glad you are safe. And that your parents are concerned about this.
So thankful you are safe and thank you for making us aware of how this can happen. Now you have more tools to protect yourself. My Mom always says listen to your gut. Valuable advice.❤ I'm going to go view Nevaeh video and show my granddaughter.
Wow.. I am so sorry you went through that. But I am certainly glad you and your family are speaking about this to make people aware!
Thank you, guys, for taking this on. It's sooooo important!
Thank God you're ok. People can be soooo critical! My 1st thought is that it was great to let the public know something to be aware of!
I think the people who made the negative comments are always looking for reasons to make them regardless of the content. I also think Nevaeh learned some great lessons and she’ll be much better prepared now. She reacted to the situation like almost all girls would have. I appreciate her putting out her video. It will help others and that was obviously her intention. ❤
As an older woman, I have to speak up. I have heard some of the things that have been said to you my entire life. Things like men cannot control themselves if they see a woman who exposes her legs/arms/toes/etc. It's as though they are saying these men are intellectually hindered and don't have any understanding about how they are to behave. If that were the case, then why are we putting them into positions of authority? It's absolutely absurd. Every human being is created to be equal to everyone else, male or female, and is responsible for their own behavior.
Not trying to diss anyone, Modesty 'is a Virtue. If I was younger I would try to not stand out. Dress like you are an undercover cop. Lol This world is so deceptive. Protect yourself, & try not to stand out. Your beautiful & saving yourself for your future husband. Keep smiling.
In a way, it’s confirming that we should be cautious. They are so insistent that these men exist, exactly! That’s why it’s so important to make women aware of the tactics that they use to lure them into all kinds of situations. Like…thank you, you’re making our point for us!!! (Obviously they are trying to make excuses for it, but spinning it to our advantage is my point here. They don’t realize the stupidity of what they are actually saying, but this is why I never argue with people like that. What’s the point? Why would I argue against anyone who’s going to step up and make my point for me? 😂)
Unfortunately, men are used to getting away with their bad behavior.
Naveah WASN'T trying to "Draw Attention" to herself...she was minding her own business when this creep came up to her asking PERSONAL Info he had NO business asking!!@@judydoshier1114
Security should have went up to her & asked her if everything is ok & if she needed help
Oh I am so impressed with American Airlines. I am so glad you have been validated Nuevah. This will help others and I am really impressed that they found the guy it's to bad they couldn't track them to your hotel GREAT JOB BY ALL.
Thank God you are safe & your parents cover you with prayers. God bless you & your family.
I’m so glad your beautiful daughter is safe! Don’t worry about stupid people criticizing you!
Your family is bringing awareness to the human trafficking problem we are having ! Keep talking about it- silence is what 'they' want! Thank you for your courage! You are blessed and thank our Heavenly Father you are safe!
My daughter taught "Lady Beware" courses at University to women. It teaches situational awareness of danger zones-escape routes, self defense/escape moves and typical stalker/creeper behaviors. Once taught, they rehersed scenarios and actions constantly to provide muscle memory to take them past the "freeze" insinct. Avoidance and escape are the best defense for a woman.
Thank you for the update! And yes as women, we need to be more assertive in uncomfortable situations. One time I approached a little girl and her Grandpa playing kind of a weird game in a park. She was laughing, but my Mama Bear instincts kicked in. I asked the little girl if that was her Grandpa. She said yes. Later the Grandpa came over to me, and he said in a round about way thanking me for checking up on her. He realized their hide and seek game was a little off.
I'm 68, and my BFF is 72. We hang out a lot together - because we know we are safer together out in public. Kind of sad but wise to do so.
