  1. Was she reported missing?????

  2. Look what happens when we come together.

  3. I really do think castration without pain killers would be a suitable sentence and deterrent for these crimes. We need more females in decision making positions in the legal system.

  4. But where were her relatives? No amber alert ? We’re they even looking for her or is she a street teen that has nobody?

  5. Not surprised it’s a Texan. Greg, come get your boy!!

  6. The wall would have stopped this!!!

  7. Just keep Joe "touchy sniffy" Biden away from her. The poor girls been thru enough

  8. It's crazy that people still kidnap with cameras everywhere

  9. THE SHEER AMOUNT OF LITTLE BLACK GIRLS CLASSIFIED AS "RUNAWAYS" GETTING ZERO ATTENTION WHO WERE KIDNAPPED BY COMPLETE STRANGERS TO BE FORGOTTEN AND LOST FOREVER IS STAGGERING IN AMERICA. Which is why that black young lady who just lied saying that she was abducted has TO PAY THE PIPER AND BE JAILED IN A WAY THAT EVERY OTHER BLACK GIRL ON EARTH KNOWS to never lie like that again.

  10. Throw him into the prison's general population, unprotected. ⛓️

  11. Texas is a disgusting human trafficking zone…so is massaxhusetts…abmnd San Deigo California.. fiends trying to get kids and womrn…thrn you have eomrn trying to lead other womrn in sexortation. Welcome to the real world. Never get in their car. Scream and shout and fight if you have to. If you get in your gone.

  12. Hopefully his fellow inmates will find out what he did and usher him to meet Satan, his new boss, before the trial. Society has no use for pedos. Death penalty is warranted. He's taken something from that child that she can never get back.

  13. Show us his picture!!!!!!

  14. I hope they cut 😮 off the part that makes him a man…….because of what he did to her

  15. May the Lord Bless this Women all her days❤❤❤

  16. If only the death penalty was allowed.

  17. California will release him in no time….. smh 🤦🏽‍♀️

  18. No worries, Gavin Newsom will release him just like the other violent offenders in California prisons.

  19. What a piece of filth. SMH.

  20. Imagine seeing an Asian lady saving a young kid from kidnapping today and the next day you see in the news that an Asian person gets beaten brutally by American brats while walking in the streets.

  21. Sadly I don't think he just started doing this at 61..

  22. Abbotts Texas has really become a cesspool of mass shootings, failing infrastructure, obsolete and confusing gridwork and now it is the human trafficking capitol of america. He had to outdo florida on that one too didn't he? I hate telling people I live here.

  23. And yet “Sound of Freedom” is a QANON conspiracy theory movie….

  24. Because due to recent trafficking bills being shot down in California the perpetrator knew California will be soft on him. Nice job Democrats!

  25. They're gonna have fun sexually assaulting him in prison .

  26. Creepy males beware: you'll never pass as "normal" to anyone who actually is.

  27. Chemical Castration. That's the only thing these animals understand.

  28. Now this what carlee should’ve came up with

  29. Getting assaulted by a 61
    Year old man 🤮 🤮🤮

  30. THANK YOU FOR BEING A GOOD PERSON WITH A GOOD HEART TO HELP HER. I HOPE YOU WIN THE LOTTERY

  31. That’s a hero
    A true hero

    Not Caitlyn Jenner when she was called a hero

  32. Thank god she is ok 👍🏾

  33. dont sleep with both eyes close in prison ..

  34. Kudos to tipster who reported this why are some men so evil.

  35. It's fortunate the 13-year-old girl was from Texas as had she been from California and a victim of California's ineffective, union-controlled public schools, she would not have known how to write "help me."

  36. The new movie Sound of Freedom shines a light on this issue and the horrific crime of child trafficking. It has reached #1 in theaters without any mainstream backing. Child trafficking is a multi-billion dollar per year industry and is modern day slavery for these children. It is in theaters but not being promoted. It's a must see for all parents.
    Please consider going to see the film to help bring awareness to and combat this issue. Thank You

  37. Yes, Ms Wong 👏! Trust your instincts. Kudos to them for helping.
