She Was Devastated After a Random Friend Request Led to Kidnapping
June 15, 2015

Please Be Careful What You Post!
Like many inspiring movies and books, this short story may be fictional. However, the impact that this work will have on its readers is very real. Enjoy!
While the following fictional events were written as a warning to others, they are clearly something that could easily take place. We often forget that our actions on social media can be accessible to just about anyone. And not everyone can be trusted…
A guy sends you a friend request. You don’t know him, but he looks nice enough in his profile picture, so you accept his friend request.
It’s your baby girl’s first day of school. She looks SO cute in her new outfit you just have to take a picture and put it on Facebook so all your friends and family can see.
You’re so excited dropping her off that you ‘Check in’ to her school on FB saying
‘I can’t believe how big she’s gotten. Time sure flies. One proud momma/daddy right here’. #ProudMom
Meanwhile, the mystery guy whose friend request you hurriedly accepted earlier this morning is saving that picture you posted of your daughter in her cute new outfit to his phone and texting it to 60 other grown men across the world with the caption –
‘American Female. Age 5.
Brown Hair. Black Eyes.
$5,000‘.
Not only did you provide a picture of your little girl to a child trafficker, but you’ve also handed him the name and exact location of her school on a silver cyber platter.
You go to pick her up at 3:00 this afternoon, but she’s nowhere to be found.
Little do you know, your precious baby girl was sold to a 43-year-old pedophile before you even stepped foot off campus this morning, and now she’s on her way to South Africa with a bag over her head, confused, terrified and crying because a man she’s never seen before picked her up from school, and now she doesn’t know where her parents are, where she’s going, or what’s gonna happen to her.
STOP ADDING STRANGERS ON FACEBOOK
and
STOP posting everything about your life on Facebook.
Avoid keeping children’s pictures as profile pictures.
Please SHARE it for the sake of all kids and parents.
