Signal "Help!"
The teenager was saved by a gesture she learned on TikTok.
Social networks bring with them a whole bunch of side effects, some useful here and there, but sometimes they can also save someone's life, as it probably did for this girl in Laurel County, North Carolina, USA. It all happened at the end of last year, and we also wrote about it then, but since it is an important matter, it is not out of the question to draw attention to it several times.
It all went something like this. A driver noticed that a girl in the vehicle in front of him was gesturing to him with her hand. First she showed him an open palm, and then she clenched it into a fist with her hidden thumb. The driver recently saw the gesture on TikTok and recognized it. It is a sign used to signal domestic violence. The driver immediately called the police, and at the same time pursued the car and reported its position.
When the police stopped the car, they found that the driver, James Herbert Brick, had taken the girl against her will, driving her across several US states. The girl was rescued, Brick was arrested for kidnapping, and now he is awaiting trial.
So if someone shows you a sign like the one you see in the video below, call the police immediately…
