Flight Attendant Saves Teen From Human Trafficker W/ Hidden Note In Toilet

 
A tale has emerged about a flight attendant from the US, who has spoken to news outlets about the time she saved a young girl from human trafficking. 
Shelia Fedrick spoke to NBC News about the personal tale, which describes her working at Alaska Airlines in 2011, and spotting a young dishevelled girl being accompanied by a well-dressed older man. 
Fedrick says the girl, who she guessed was around 14 or 15, had greasy blonde hair and “looked like she had been through pure hell”. 
She says at first, she attempted to talk to the teenage girl and the man accompanying her – he became increasingly defensive, and she would not make eye contact or speak to her.
So Fedrick devised an ingenious plan – and it turns out most flight attendants now receive extensive training on this – she decided to leave a note for the girl in the aeroplane’s bathroom. 
Muttering under her breath, she convinced the young girl to go to the bathroom, where she’d left a note asking if the girl needed help. 
“She wrote back on the note,” Fedrick told NBC News, “and said: ‘I need help’.”
The attendant then alerted the pilot, who contacted the police. By the time the plane had landed in San Francisco, the police were waiting there for them. 
It then came out that the girl was in fact a victim of human trafficking – Fedrick had legitimately saved her life. 
She told outlets that she’s made contact with the girl since the incident, which occurred in 2011 – the girl is now in college. 

“I put my phone number on the note that I left for her and I guess she memorised it, so a few weeks later, she called me.”
Fedrick told Florida broadcaster WTSP:
“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.
INCREDIBLE. Truly incredible.
