To the people questioning the Victim: Obviously there's more to the story. She was trafficked. There may have been issues at home. So what? Does that justify the trafficking? She may have gotten into drugs, but she doesn't owe anyone to tell that information. She might not be ready to talk about that. It isn't something easy to share. She ranaway as a kid and was taken to be a prositute by force. Let's not forget that.

Okay so I guess you are turning a blind eye to the number "1500" this is a big number. It would demand extreme efforts for the authorities to get hold of these people then arrange court trials and then send them to jails.also sending more people to jail is not the solution of the problem. Once these accused men are in jail they would just live their lives easy in the jail.( For which more money would be required/ facilities shall be arranged, etc.) Nothing else will change. This not the solution.
REALLY? all i see on these same streets are women chasing men because they cheat on their husbands. husband works all day, comes home to a wife that is wore completely out and the HOME AND KIDS are a mess! thats why the dog and cat no longer mind. she wont let them out of the home to do their "business" and do it in the house! some wives are NEVER HOME!
Not real men, though. Anyone who cheats on their spouse is a pathetic loser. I know plenty of real men who are devoted to their families and would never get into anything like that. 😊

Good thought, but the answer is because the site was already taken down, and also because other parents want to know where to look for their daughters at.
not necessarily. It could just have been a family culture of high expectation, since the kid seemed to be excellent and chieving on many different things in her childhood. When love is shown only when excellence and perfection are met, when love isn't unconditionally shown, then often, as for this young child, when she reaches failure or struggles to achieve, then the low self estime and the feeling that she would be rejected comes up. I'm not saying that it is the case here but here is an alternative to the underlying issues. But praise God for the mum who fought hard to save her daughter and seemingly is showing her love for her daughter despite her past and runaways... that daughter, if she had any doubt of her mum's unconditional love, now she has proof.
She also commented on how she was bullied and shamed by classmates (particularly female ones) for her hobbies and interests. This caused her to feel like a disappointment and was a massive contributor to her wanting to run away ;-;
The daughter is acting very gaurded & is not saying everything,also there is definitely a strained connection witn daughter & mom. Pieces are missing here.
she went to buy drugs in downtown seattle and returned after 10 days then again she met dealers and then pimps to buy drugs she sold herself its simple
asoom yeah I know a lot of drug using guys around here who spread the same kind of gossip about girls they know. I'm not surprised. Men who either don't understand what women go through on the streets or want to justify their own sexual or financial use of women, or defend buddies who have done the same. I'm not looking down on anyone for using drugs. I've done, it because I've been through with this woman has been through. But I am now recovering from drugs and abuse, as I hope she gets a chance to do.
Mr. Chapo 1978 the girl made a choice to leave home herself, and got an amazing settlement. Out of court it was her choice. I was sexually abused until 15 and left home got life long depression, and anxiety
I can’t believe how honest would someone be, an Angel in human form. You knew how desperate and eager I was even will to pay any amount just to get rid of the sextortion black mailing. But yet you proved how honest you could be. I appreciate you *brian hacks online* . You have done well. You kept your promise and it was all erased
I can't imagine how hard it would be to decide to take a re-coveryagent role of an scammed persons. The history needs to be remembered though and the help that was born through such pain and suffering. Mad respect to these *JOHNSON SPY* that take on these role to help traumatized victims all over the world
If you watch the entire video after a couple minutes the interviewer said, “she wasn’t comfortable saying the name at first but now is.. this is Jessica”. (Forgot last name)
Anna-Kay Green chafe? I must of missed it cause I never heard them say that name once. They referred to Jessica as, “j.s” in he pre recording. Yeah I think it was dumb to show her face and not her name before Jessica decided it was ok for her to use her name right before the interview because people could know her face.. but that video was probably made well before the interview and maybe they turned off a blurring affect that was on her face? Idk honestly.
Do people have to know their whole life story for the point of this piece to come across? If they had other personal issues besides the ones stated that's within their right not to disclose as much. The point is that the girl was able to escape trafficking and her mom has successfully fought her perpetrators on her behalf. What more do you need?
You expressed my thoughts exactly. There probably is a lot more to the story, there usually is, but this is the information they are willing to put out.
I am proud she speaks...it is apart of therapy and healing...y should she cry all day...she uses her tears as empowerment...people judge so harshly bc they are bored or manipulated by churches or media...u have no idea what she went thru...prayers she continues to empower herself thru others...Amen u r alive!
This is why parents shouldn’t be strict and place so much importance on grades. Teens should always feel comfortable confiding in parents. Those bullied home are bullied at school by the way.
There is a lot of disconnect in the daughters eyes. I feel there is a lot more to this story than anyone on the stage is telling. Not buying it at face value.
Glitter Nails disconnect in the daughter's eyes? In human trafficking, the only way a girl can survive her experience is to disconnect from it. How completely ignorant.
I agree and mom with her long face, sitting up watching her answer the questions smh!!!! Sad definitely more about this story... and I need answers what's going on with mom face?? Is that her birth mother??? Weird body language etc.... that cant be birth mom
@Andrea Chapa how about you stfu, and learn to understand what you read, see that its possible that she might have personal issues with her mom that involved mental or verbal abuse to which why she left. There is no blaming here. Those sickos that took advantage have every right to be dead tho, that's just my opinion maybe then they'll stop doing it.
So many judge you but I agree, I am a mother and could not place so much fear in my child that they fear to show me a bad grade. Yes of course it's the nasty disrespectful men falt but come on , what if she had no fear in showing her parent that bad grade. When my son brings home a bad grade, I help him to improve it, not scare him. A bad grade should never scare a child so much that they run away from a place called home. There is so much to the story, like she should speak of what would happend to her if she had showed her parent that grade. She would probably be abused or is she mentally ill . You can be good at sports and be mentally ill. We just don't know the entire story.
You have to understand that the memories and the story is a Vulnerable place for both her and the mom . It’s ok if she doesn’t share some things because it’s a sensitive subject.
Totally agree - obviously she is not sharing all the gory, embarrassing and shameful details that happened to her on a show like Megyn what's her name. (Can u tell I don't really think MK is the best interviewer or show in the world).
My parents were like that too. Home was a dictatorship and the pressure to be perfect is overwhelming...these kids are easy targets. ..even as adults they are easily lured into these trades..due to parents not loving and protecting their children
She was a kid. Still developing brain. Teens are known for not being able to control their impulses. It actually isn't uncommon especially when struggling with mental health.
This can and will be a tremendous help for others to explore their feelings in a new perspective. I was lucky enough to get back at the blackmailer, I found a small helper I liked talking about this man and my feeling of confusion being put into words helped me become confident, of course they have skills to solve but this is truly validating. Thanks dude
Megan makes lots of money with her show. Nothing suspicious. I'm glad she is bringing awareness to this issue. We should accept help where we can get it.
@Ms Bliss She seemed to be cutting them off and pushing her own agenda, which was the feel good message of, "there are bad people out there, but we busted them!". She did not seem interested in letting them explain what happened or how common this is. She knows what news will keep her audience happy and watching more.
Can I ask what their class has to do with any of this? So many times she has said-this middle class woman. So if a lower class woman wanted to fight against someone for their daughter it wouldn’t be as extraordinary?
I think she means because middle class is just an average woman with a decent paying stable job. So shes saying it is extraordinary because she was able to go against these people when she is an average woman who isn't rich. The richer you are the easier court is

The history needs to be remembered though and the help that was born through such pain and suffering. Mad respect to these *brian hacks online* that take on these role to help traumatized victims all over the world.
The fact that a bad grade would be too much to face her parents is also eye opening to the profile of a victim. Pretty much the same tactic used to keep her from going home
This is sickening. These monsters are HARD CORE criminals. The justice system should have a special fast track way to get these clowns behind bars for good. Unacceptable
Kids always want to run away but most runaways are either killed or turned into trafficking victims. Unless your parents are abusing you (if they are call the police) STAY HOME.
Betty Santoro Yes. People don't understand how this happens. Pimps are out there waiting for young impressionable girls to have a bad day and run away. They know exactly what to say to lure them into their net. It's their only job.
Jeanelle Rene moms are always looking at like that. Because their kids and it's more likely than not that they will say something that embarrasses them or effects them in some way they don't understand. I did that to my son all the time and he was an A student and very responsible and honest but he spoke impulsively at times, as do all children.
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one getting a weird vibe from this. I think the way she looks at her Mom pretty much says it all. There’s definitely tension there.
The comments here are horrid and judgmental and nosy about the victims details. The girl was 15!!! a child! what do you think they are hiding? it's called none of your business. privacy. Because even if the internet knew the details they would tear the girl apart with judgement and more questions. kudos to Megan Kelly. Good interveiw. Thanks for respecting the guest and our president.
tyrone sanford you should’ve shut your mouth. SO sorry for being rude, wow. It wasn’t like you were being completely insensitive and literally horrific, though.
bella blackrose and now that person lock up 26 1/2 years it's not fair she had chance to get out when she got arrested but no she went back too him.so she must like the money cause the mom searching for her things change in not buying the story at some point they need to be held responsible you made a choice to run away wgen you could stay at home you made a choice go back to him after being arrested when you could pick up the phone went home so no I'm not buying the story sad story it's not fair what happening. But she had a chance for out she didn't take it.
What if she is hiding something (question mark) Maybe, there's things she can't speak about. What difference does it make, that she might be hiding something (question mark)
Leslie Kanz that is normal, she was a kid, not an adult. Not aware of the dangers in the world. Kids are vulnerable and these vampires prey upon them. They do stupid things and then are brainwashed into believing they are not good enough to return home. It happens, but what should not happen is the trafficking. That is sick and happening a lot. The johns should be the focus of our questions and our need for answers. Why are they out there buying children? How can they be sold openly on the internet? Let’s not dissect the victim, let’s do that to those that harm these vulnerable people!!
I cannot imagine men get away with this. Imagine your husband, your employee/coworker your brother, your relative any one you see in public get away with this. How disgusting can a human be.
My jaw dropped when i heard back page cause i was also sold on that site 2!! A detective found me and saved me from my hellish nightmare! Ur so strong (I'm still traumatized from what happened to me) and the same way u had to give them the money was the same way i had too as well
30 years ago I spoke about it no one want to do anything now I see it all over thank God for answered prayer that there are Ministries helping if anybody out there is a Praying person please pray I find editors for my book so that the proceeds could go towards women and children that are being rescued thanks
Imagine being so scared of your parents reaction to a bad grade you think it’s a better option to run away?? Shame on these parents! Nothing makes what happened to this young lady okay but there’s obviously something going on at home.
God Bless all of you. Thank you for sharing your story. I wonder if any young men were victims as well? We often forget about our young men being victims of sexual assault and/or trafficking.
It must be difficult for to get the victim to trust that he is legit. This work is awesome though. I love your passion to help victims, Hope victims undergoing through such trauma don’t give up because they are more people out and people with such incredible skills like *Johnson spy* out there, Hope they can also use there knowledge and skills to help others and not just messing around,Thank you for doing this
Good Job Mr. President. I pray for all of the parents and their children who have been involved with something like this. I Pray for peace and I hope that one day Human trafficking will come to an end.
You people that are saying theres more to this story, LISTEN, ITS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS IF THERE' IS. SHE IS OUT OF BEING SOLD DAILY AND THEY HAVE PROCEEDED TO PUT SOME OF THESE GUYS AWAY, SO THEY CANT KEEP PREYING ON YOUNG KIDS AND THEY TOOK IT TO CONGRESS AND IT WAS SIGNED INTO LAW. BELIEVE ME, THERE IS MORE TO THE TRAFFICKERS TORTURE, ETC. THAT THESE WOMEN DONT WANT TO TELL THE WHOLE WORLD. AND THAT IS CALLED PRIVACY. LETS HEAR YOUR STORY AND THEN WE'LL DECIDE IF THERES MORE TO YOUR STORY. AND THERE ARE MANY MORE YOUNG CHILDREN AND YOUNG GIRLS THAT END UP DEAD. I AM FOREVER GRATEFUL THAT THIS MOTHER NEVER LET UP IN PURSUIT OF FINDING HER DAUGHTER. MANY MORE LIVES SAVED. THANK YOU GOD FOR THESE MEN LIKE THESE DETECTIVES AND LAW OFFICERS, ETC WHO SAVE LIVES INSTEAD OF DESTROYING THEM, LIKE THOSE EVIL MEN.
@@servantfirstclass1103 kinda an OVERREACTION there ya think. All she said was there’s more yes so much more. So many more victims and even millions all over the world.
I love how the mom, with a completely straight face, came to the defense of President Trump when the clear insinuation was made that he may have had ulterior motives in rubbing the back of a victim's mom. The silly laughter seemed to linger on and on and finally it was clear that Nicole was like, "ok, that's enough, it was a pat of sympathy." Thank you for bringing dignity back the to conversation, mom.
This story doesn't quite make sense because of one bad grade in my candid opinion I somehow thinks her mom seems to be a very demeaning person like her daughter cannot make a mistake she's not supposed to fail or else there will be consequences why would she say she didn't want to disappoint her parents no one is perfect we all will fail at some point in our lives I can't comprehend this one
I understand somewhat why you can't comprehend this one. Maybe there's reason's for the oddness. I hope the mother isn't forcing her to come on the show. But, we just don' t know. Don't blame the girl. Why would a child be so scared of a parent (question mark) There's obviously something wrong. But, we can't blame this young lady. I'm sure there's more to this story, as well. But, I'm certainly not pointing fingers at this young girl, who has suffered horrible things.
I am 15 years. She is super brave. I don't think I will be able to endure the pain. Being forced to lose v to random psychopath is horrible.She is an inspiration to we teenagers who freak out
Brave girl. So very strong. Thank U for sharing your story that will help others come forward to get help. Great mom for never giving up. Build up your children to have a strong self-esteem so noone can make them feel small or alone.
TODAY NBC News please cut off the comments to this video! I am reading many insensitive comments by people through the comments section. I don't think some of the commenters are realizing how their victim blaming, parent-blaming, and words can re-traumatize this young woman. It was already brave enough for her to tell her story. Please cut off the comments section TODAY! I am begging you to disable the comments to this video.

The daughter is acting very gaurded & is not saying everything,also there is definitely a strained connection witn daughter & mom. Pieces are missing here.
Diana Barker your brain has missing pieces for making such a ignorant comment!
she went to buy drugs in downtown seattle and returned after 10 days then again she met dealers and then pimps to buy drugs she sold herself its simple
asoom Where did you get your information? The international school of woman hating?
Britta Olson no i know her she used to do drugs with me
asoom yeah I know a lot of drug using guys around here who spread the same kind of gossip about girls they know. I'm not surprised. Men who either don't understand what women go through on the streets or want to justify their own sexual or financial use of women, or defend buddies who have done the same. I'm not looking down on anyone for using drugs. I've done, it because I've been through with this woman has been through. But I am now recovering from drugs and abuse, as I hope she gets a chance to do.
Politicians are my absolute worst but Donald Trump is greater than people give him credit for.
The law needs to be changed! 26 years, is that it!?
Makes me wanna sign up as a man and go save these girls 😠
I thought about doing this too. Disguise myself and set a meeting point. Call police and get girls to safety.
This is a good idea. I wonder if there are actually people that do this,
@@nikimullen9273 how do we do it
Some things aren't adding up. There has to be more to this story.
Yeah, the whole running away because of a report card seems a bit excessive...
Drugs
Mr. Chapo 1978 the girl made a choice to leave home herself, and got an amazing settlement. Out of court it was her choice. I was sexually abused until 15 and left home got life long depression, and anxiety
She said she went to a party when she ran away.
Mr. Chapo 1978 agreed
I can’t believe how honest would someone be, an Angel in human form. You knew how desperate and eager I was even will to pay any amount just to get rid of the sextortion black mailing. But yet you proved how honest you could be. I appreciate you *brian hacks online* . You have done well. You kept your promise and it was all erased
This woman is so insensitive.
Kyra Griffin Which woman?
This is why regardless of poor grades and as a parent show your kids you love them anyway and that you're not disappointed in them encourage them
She's the only one found?
They only took her and no other kids?
I can't imagine how hard it would be to decide to take a re-coveryagent role of an scammed persons. The history needs to be remembered though and the help that was born through such pain and suffering. Mad respect to these *JOHNSON SPY* that take on these role to help traumatized victims all over the world
Why change the name but show her face..?
I said the same thing.
If you watch the entire video after a couple minutes the interviewer said, “she wasn’t comfortable saying the name at first but now is.. this is Jessica”. (Forgot last name)
@@erikawear its also in the description of the video too....good job megan kelly
Anna-Kay Green chafe? I must of missed it cause I never heard them say that name once. They referred to Jessica as, “j.s” in he pre recording. Yeah I think it was dumb to show her face and not her name before Jessica decided it was ok for her to use her name right before the interview because people could know her face.. but that video was probably made well before the interview and maybe they turned off a blurring affect that was on her face? Idk honestly.
omg im watching this again 5 months later
Cant believe anyone admits they are a lefty in this story. politics has no place here Evil must be stopped at all cost
This is not a lefty crime, there are plenty of pedophiles of all political genres, what an ignorant comment!
You are right, politics has no place here. So, why did you bring it up?
Debpenguin he's talking about the wall you fools
She said it when talking about Trump. To recognize her bias but to showcase that he wasn't being 'bad' about it.
@Richard Henry Sr ppl on the right also care about those things.... lay off the propaganda (cnn)
Do people have to know their whole life story for the point of this piece to come across? If they had other personal issues besides the ones stated that's within their right not to disclose as much. The point is that the girl was able to escape trafficking and her mom has successfully fought her perpetrators on her behalf. What more do you need?
ailee thank you
Exactly. Well said.
THANK YOU. Some people on here seem to think she owes them a detailed report of her traumatic experience, it's crazy
As long as the family can heal together that's all that matters
You expressed my thoughts exactly. There probably is a lot more to the story, there usually is, but this is the information they are willing to put out.
I am proud she speaks...it is apart of therapy and healing...y should she cry all day...she uses her tears as empowerment...people judge so harshly bc they are bored or manipulated by churches or media...u have no idea what she went thru...prayers she continues to empower herself thru others...Amen u r alive!
This is why parents shouldn’t be strict and place so much importance on grades. Teens should always feel comfortable confiding in parents. Those bullied home are bullied at school by the way.
There is a lot of disconnect in the daughters eyes. I feel there is a lot more to this story than anyone on the stage is telling. Not buying it at face value.
Glitter Nails disconnect in the daughter's eyes? In human trafficking, the only way a girl can survive her experience is to disconnect from it. How completely ignorant.
Betty Santoro Thank you!
Who cares what you don't buy. This girl was traffic'd. Whatever their hiding, it may be necessary. I can't believe some of these comments.
She was on berry
I agree and mom with her long face, sitting up watching her answer the questions smh!!!! Sad definitely more about this story... and I need answers what's going on with mom face?? Is that her birth mother??? Weird body language etc.... that cant be birth mom
I blame her parents...imagine being so afraid to show a bad grade to them, that you run away
I know what that's like sadly
That's one way to understand her fear.
@Andrea Chapa how about you stfu, and learn to understand what you read, see that its possible that she might have personal issues with her mom that involved mental or verbal abuse to which why she left. There is no blaming here. Those sickos that took advantage have every right to be dead tho, that's just my opinion maybe then they'll stop doing it.
So many judge you but I agree, I am a mother and could not place so much fear in my child that they fear to show me a bad grade. Yes of course it's the nasty disrespectful men falt but come on , what if she had no fear in showing her parent that bad grade. When my son brings home a bad grade, I help him to improve it, not scare him. A bad grade should never scare a child so much that they run away from a place called home. There is so much to the story, like she should speak of what would happend to her if she had showed her parent that grade. She would probably be abused or is she mentally ill . You can be good at sports and be mentally ill. We just don't know the entire story.
Yeah but later she said it was bullying at school so we probably don't know what the real reason is.
You have to understand that the memories and the story is a Vulnerable place for both her and the mom . It’s ok if she doesn’t share some things because it’s a sensitive subject.
Yes exactly. Couldnt put it any better myself.
Totally agree - obviously she is not sharing all the gory, embarrassing and shameful details that happened to her on a show like Megyn what's her name. (Can u tell I don't really think MK is the best interviewer or show in the world).
THANK YOU. people In the comment section are so judgmental and cruel
This is taking the girl’s life and soul away. They’re never the same again. The men that do this need a life sentence.
This almost seems like an ad for that website since megyn keeps saying it every 2 seconds.
@Victor R. but they did say what it was replaced with
I thought the same
To be honest that was kinda much for a failing grade
My parents were like that too. Home was a dictatorship and the pressure to be perfect is overwhelming...these kids are easy targets. ..even as adults they are easily lured into these trades..due to parents not loving and protecting their children
She was a kid. Still developing brain. Teens are known for not being able to control their impulses. It actually isn't uncommon especially when struggling with mental health.
She also mentioned being bullied by peers
This can and will be a tremendous help for others to explore their feelings in a new perspective. I was lucky enough to get back at the blackmailer, I found a small helper I liked talking about this man and my feeling of confusion being put into words helped me become confident, of course they have skills to solve but this is truly validating. Thanks dude
I pray God helps this young lady find out how valuable she is and her life is priceless. God heal her heart ❤️.
Megyn should have chosen not to highlight the back rubbing comment, totally stupid and inappropriate.
D He does great things. He did this as a great thing too and people will still complain about him😂
She didn’t, everyone else did ..
She didn't highlight anything the audience were the ones that started laughing .
Something does not add up about Megyn Kelly.
Megan makes lots of money with her show. Nothing suspicious. I'm glad she is bringing awareness to this issue. We should accept help where we can get it.
@Ms Bliss She seemed to be cutting them off and pushing her own agenda, which was the feel good message of, "there are bad people out there, but we busted them!". She did not seem interested in letting them explain what happened or how common this is. She knows what news will keep her audience happy and watching more.
Can I ask what their class has to do with any of this? So many times she has said-this middle class woman. So if a lower class woman wanted to fight against someone for their daughter it wouldn’t be as extraordinary?
I think she means because middle class is just an average woman with a decent paying stable job. So shes saying it is extraordinary because she was able to go against these people when she is an average woman who isn't rich. The richer you are the easier court is
I think she mentioned average, just middle class, as that class was not a factor in her decision to run away.
I can't imagine how hard it would be to decide to take a re-coveryagent role of an scammed persons. The history needs to be remembered though and the help that was born through such pain and suffering. Mad respect to these *brian hacks online* that take on these role to help traumatized victims all over the world.
Her answer as to why she ran away doesn't make any sense
Cliff Rooks teenagers don't make any sense
Cliff Rooks Not true.
When I was 16, I got a detention at school, and contemplated running away, rather than disappointing my parents.
HeatherC BC Right. Because American teenagers are normally beacons of brilliant clarity, rationality, and solid decision-making.
Britta Olson Hey I’m Canadian, and we are just as brilliant 😂
Teens can and do runaway for reasons they dont even know
“She fell behind in 1 of her classes... so she ran away and went to a homeless shelter.” Something tells me there’s more to that story!
I think her parents were neglectful in some way and now regret it obviously
The fact that a bad grade would be too much to face her parents is also eye opening to the profile of a victim. Pretty much the same tactic used to keep her from going home
horror to say the least.. i'm suprised how these survivers are even collected and don't even look damaged ,
This is sickening. These monsters are HARD CORE criminals. The justice system should have a special fast track way to get these clowns behind bars for good. Unacceptable
Kids always want to run away but most runaways are either killed or turned into trafficking victims. Unless your parents are abusing you (if they are call the police) STAY HOME.
I don't understand how some people can be so hard, so heartless, so cruel just for their own pleasure
Apparently, they can be so easy...
I’m not victim shaming but something doesn’t add up here.
Cortney
what ???
Your a moron!
Agreed
Yeah tf you are.
Betty Santoro Yes. People don't understand how this happens. Pimps are out there waiting for young impressionable girls to have a bad day and run away. They know exactly what to say to lure them into their net. It's their only job.
Her mom is looking at her like she is about to say something she shouldn’t.
Jeanelle Rene moms are always looking at like that. Because their kids and it's more likely than not that they will say something that embarrasses them or effects them in some way they don't understand. I did that to my son all the time and he was an A student and very responsible and honest but he spoke impulsively at times, as do all children.
She ran away because of a bad grade?? Wow. This bad decision ruined her life. These men who did this to her should get the death penalty!!
Yes, let's blame the victim. Disgusting.
Stormy Girl You’re so stupid for blaming the victim instead of the disgusting men who did this to her.
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one getting a weird vibe from this. I think the way she looks at her Mom pretty much says it all. There’s definitely tension there.
At that age what girl didnt have issues with her mother?
@@latinamarie80 not like that tho, c'mon
this young woman is so strong. to share this story with such courage
All the men who bought her deserve public denouncement and jail time.
Now I’m definitely going to teach my daughter to never feel like she’s a failure for a bad grade😔 I will keep putting it in her head!
Make sure she carries a gun!!
The comments here are horrid and judgmental and nosy about the victims details. The girl was 15!!! a child!
what do you think they are hiding? it's called none of your business. privacy. Because even if the internet knew the details they would tear the girl apart with judgement and more questions.
kudos to Megan Kelly. Good interveiw.
Thanks for respecting the guest and our president.
Should of stayed at Home.
tyrone sanford you should’ve shut your mouth. SO sorry for being rude, wow. It wasn’t like you were being completely insensitive and literally horrific, though.
I hope my child would never ever be going throu something like that...
Thanks for President Trump for enforcing the new law against backpage
zempath not appropriate at this time
@Amanda Charlebois 27 times Clinton was on his plane and island. 6 times without the secret service. Inform yourself.
Troll!!!
What was he supposed to do not sign it. He gets ZERO credit from me. All he did was sign a piece of paper.
oh, yes she is hiding something
bella blackrose and now that person lock up 26 1/2 years it's not fair she had chance to get out when she got arrested but no she went back too him.so she must like the money cause the mom searching for her things change in not buying the story at some point they need to be held responsible you made a choice to run away wgen you could stay at home you made a choice go back to him after being arrested when you could pick up the phone went home so no I'm not buying the story sad story it's not fair what happening. But she had a chance for out she didn't take it.
mrsstrawberryluv1
No punctuation. One run on sentence. You are also ignorant of what motivates people to do things. So wrong on all levels.
What if she is hiding something (question mark) Maybe, there's things she can't speak about. What difference does it make, that she might be hiding something (question mark)
If I'm ignorant and I lack grammer skills, I was still able to get a rise out of you. Thank you for your reply... period.
I believe the missing link is drugs
This makes me sick... no one deserves this at all
God bless these women, fight the good fight!
Have u won yet?
Nobody is addressing the belief that she needed to run away over a bad grade. Where did that belief come from - Mom, Dad, Teachers?
The parents should ASK themselves why their daughter is afraid to Tell them about Bad Grades and rather Runs away from Home instead
Leslie Kanz that is normal, she was a kid, not an adult. Not aware of the dangers in the world. Kids are vulnerable and these vampires prey upon them. They do stupid things and then are brainwashed into believing they are not good enough to return home. It happens, but what should not happen is the trafficking. That is sick and happening a lot. The johns should be the focus of our questions and our need for answers. Why are they out there buying children? How can they be sold openly on the internet? Let’s not dissect the victim, let’s do that to those that harm these vulnerable people!!
I cannot imagine men get away with this. Imagine your husband, your employee/coworker your brother, your relative any one you see in public get away with this. How disgusting can a human be.
Yes, you are right, certain human beings are really so disgustings..!
My jaw dropped when i heard back page cause i was also sold on that site 2!! A detective found me and saved me from my hellish nightmare! Ur so strong (I'm still traumatized from what happened to me) and the same way u had to give them the money was the same way i had too as well
Wow. Omg. It angers me to hear. I pray for God to have mercy when he crushes the bones of these type of mother fkers!!
What do they do to yo
Meghan is a sociopath I don’t believe she truly is empathic towards anyone.
why would she runaway for just a simple bad grade? It seems to be more to that story
The sellers and the “customers” need life in prison
30 years ago I spoke about it no one want to do anything now I see it all over thank God for answered prayer that there are Ministries helping if anybody out there is a Praying person please pray I find editors for my book so that the proceeds could go towards women and children that are being rescued thanks
Nacole, Jessika and Mary, great job, you’re wonderful and courageous women.
This is hard for any girl child to ve gone through. I can't imagine the horror the mother went through when she went missing .
Praying for a healing of her mind, body & heart. God will hear your cries, He hold your tears in a bottle every one
Imagine being so scared of your parents reaction to a bad grade you think it’s a better option to run away?? Shame on these parents! Nothing makes what happened to this young lady okay but there’s obviously something going on at home.
Yes and she said that was not only that but bullies at school too.
God Bless all of you. Thank you for sharing your story. I wonder if any young men were victims as well? We often forget about our young men being victims of sexual assault and/or trafficking.
It must be difficult for to get the victim to trust that he is legit. This work is awesome though. I love your passion to help victims, Hope victims undergoing through such trauma don’t give up because they are more people out and people with such incredible skills like *Johnson spy* out there, Hope they can also use there knowledge and skills to help others and not just messing around,Thank you for doing this
There should be a way to track people who are on that website.
Is Backpage shut down? It's such a horrific website.
Good Job Mr. President. I pray for all of the parents and their children who have been involved with something like this. I Pray for peace and I hope that one day Human trafficking will come to an end.
There’s definitely more to story. You can feel it.
You people that are saying theres more to this story, LISTEN, ITS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS IF THERE' IS. SHE IS OUT OF BEING SOLD DAILY AND THEY HAVE PROCEEDED TO PUT SOME OF THESE GUYS AWAY, SO THEY CANT KEEP PREYING ON YOUNG KIDS AND THEY TOOK IT TO CONGRESS AND IT WAS SIGNED INTO LAW. BELIEVE ME, THERE IS MORE TO THE TRAFFICKERS TORTURE, ETC. THAT THESE WOMEN DONT WANT TO TELL THE WHOLE WORLD. AND THAT IS CALLED PRIVACY. LETS HEAR YOUR STORY AND THEN WE'LL DECIDE IF THERES MORE TO YOUR STORY. AND THERE ARE MANY MORE YOUNG CHILDREN AND YOUNG GIRLS THAT END UP DEAD. I AM FOREVER GRATEFUL THAT THIS MOTHER NEVER LET UP IN PURSUIT OF FINDING HER DAUGHTER. MANY MORE LIVES SAVED. THANK YOU GOD FOR THESE MEN LIKE THESE DETECTIVES AND LAW OFFICERS, ETC WHO SAVE LIVES INSTEAD OF DESTROYING THEM, LIKE THOSE EVIL MEN.
@@servantfirstclass1103 kinda an OVERREACTION there ya think. All she said was there’s more yes so much more. So many more victims and even millions all over the world.
I get she was bullied and that's sucks but to leave the safety of your home and runaway??
ann l you’d be surprised
So sad, this angers me. The girl is so beautiful she will have a wonderful life ahead of her
She was not a happy child from a happy home. Otherwise she wouldn't run away.
I love how the mom, with a completely straight face, came to the defense of President Trump when the clear insinuation was made that he may have had ulterior motives in rubbing the back of a victim's mom. The silly laughter seemed to linger on and on and finally it was clear that Nicole was like, "ok, that's enough, it was a pat of sympathy." Thank you for bringing dignity back the to conversation, mom.
Isnt it cool that the Back Page take down happened during TRUMPS time!!
President Trump 2020!
Trump 2020!!!
Trump deserves credit for the good things he has done! Trump 2020!
one of the Fantastic things that president Trump has done
Trump2020🇺🇸So very proud of our President!!
Does anyone think its a red flag she would have rathered run to a homeless shelter than her parents seeing her bad grade?
Her story is a lie. The parents, aren't being honest.
This story doesn't quite make sense because of one bad grade in my candid opinion I somehow thinks her mom seems to be a very demeaning person like her daughter cannot make a mistake she's not supposed to fail or else there will be consequences why would she say she didn't want to disappoint her parents no one is perfect we all will fail at some point in our lives I can't comprehend this one
I understand somewhat why you can't comprehend this one. Maybe there's reason's for the oddness. I hope the mother isn't forcing her to come on the show. But, we just don' t know. Don't blame the girl. Why would a child be so scared of a parent (question mark) There's obviously something wrong. But, we can't blame this young lady. I'm sure there's more to this story, as well. But, I'm certainly not pointing fingers at this young girl, who has suffered horrible things.
It doesn't make sense bc shes lying about why she ran away..
Some parents make you feel really bad about bad grades. You would only understand if you experienced it yourself!
She seems lighthearted about the situation
It's been alot of years and she's safe now and they've won so many battles!!!
The great lengths she took to avoid her parents simply because of a 'bad grade' concerns me. WTH were her parents cooking up at home?
So sad that the kid was so scared to talk to her own parents about grades. Its disappointing! I blame the parents!!
I am 15 years. She is super brave. I don't think I will be able to endure the pain. Being forced to lose v to random psychopath is horrible.She is an inspiration to we teenagers who freak out
Backpage.com is no longer a running website
Yes they just changed the name leolist
It’s sad ! Cops use those websites too
Wake up Lefty the President is a good man No other President would have done it
Just Jo, or paying off prostitutes.
This world is cruel :(
Brave girl. So very strong. Thank U for sharing your story that will help others come forward to get help. Great mom for never giving up. Build up your children to have a strong self-esteem so noone can make them feel small or alone.
TODAY NBC News please cut off the comments to this video! I am reading many insensitive comments by people through the comments section. I don't think some of the commenters are realizing how their victim blaming, parent-blaming, and words can re-traumatize this young woman. It was already brave enough for her to tell her story. Please cut off the comments section TODAY! I am begging you to disable the comments to this video.
