Look: Veteran Flight Attendant Saves A Young Girl From Human Trafficker

Hero flight attendant saves a girl from human trafficker by leaving a secret note for her.

Alaska Airlines Sheila Fedrick has been a flight attendant for 10 years and shared a story how she saved a young girl from people-smugglers.

Fedrick said she noticed that there something wrong with a teen which she estimated was about 14 or 15 when they were on board on Seattle-to- San Franciso flight.

She said the young passenger looked like she had “been through hell” while she was seated next to the well-dressed older man and it made her think that there is something wrong with her, NBC reported.

“He was well dressed, that’s what kind of got me because why is he well dressed and she is looking disheveled and out of sorts?” Frederick told Florida TV station WTSP.

Fedrick tried to speak with the two passengers and she observed that the young girl would not look or speak to her and only the old man would respond, she said.

She then delivers her message to the young girl to go to the bathroom where she left her note on the mirror for her.

The young girl responded to her secret message saying she needed help. After Alabama woman got the response of the teen, she immediately told the pilot about the situation and contacted the Police.

The police were waiting for the man at the terminal when the plane landed and arrested him.

“I’ve been a flight attendant for 10 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,” Ms. Frederick said.

Fedrick gave her number to the young girl and then contacted her a few weeks after the incident.

The veteran flight attendant shared that she has kept her contact with the young girl she rescued over the 2011 incident. In fact, the girl was now attending college.

According to the report of airlineamb.org., the incident sparked additional training for the US flight attendants on how to spot human trafficking on board.
