Lessons Taken

Fedrick also put light on the situation when they fail to ignore such situations. She said “I’ve been a flight attendant for ten years and it’s like I am going all the way back to when I was in training. And I was like, I could have seen these young girls and young boys and didn’t even know. If you see something, say something.”

Woman Trafficking

In 2017 only, about 50,000 women and girls fell victim to human trafficking in the United States. Unfortunately, all of them were trafficked for prostitution. Furthermore, around 2,000 human traffickers were arrested by the US. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. However, only 400 of them were identified.

Following Intuition

Thanks to Fedrick, she listened to her intuition and acted upon that. It was only because of her a young life was saved. Now, the girl is having a brighter future with something positive to look forward to.

Bright Side

The girl now is attending college. It has been more than six years and the two are still in touch with each other. Though the girl looked emotionless at that time she did something that was not expected by Fedrick herself. 

Being Thankful

Along with the message, the girl had also taken note of Fedrick’s phone number. The girl must have memorized that. Fedrick observed, “I put my phone number on the note that I left for her and I guess she memorized it, so a few weeks later, she called me.” This is why she rang Fredrick some days after her rescue to show gratitude.

Speaking Up

The attendant has been very vocal about such incidents from thereon. She appeals to other stewardesses to be eyeful of the passengers they attend to. No one knows some of them might be in need of help. According to her apart from taking care of the passengers, an attendant should also pay attention to the appearance of the passengers. As appearance speaks a lot!
