Flight Attendants Train to Spot Human Trafficking - NBC News
'Last year, the FAA Extension, Safety, and Security Act of 2016 implemented training of flight attendants to spot potential trafficking victims. '
'Flight attendants call the pilot when they suspect a human trafficking victim is on board. '
'Until that happens, Rivard will keep traveling across the country teaching flight attendants how to be the eyes in the sky protecting human trafficking victims. '
'The girl "looked like she had been through pure hell," said Fedrick, 49, a flight attendant working for Alaska Airlines. ', "Houston's Mayor Sylvester Turner also used the Super Bowl to highlight the city's ongoing effort to combat human trafficking in the region."
Its odd that this story happened a few years ago but is only now being reported.
Fedrick said she has kept in contact with the girl she rescued over the past few years, who is now attending college.
but is only now being reported.
This article and the video pop up of the TV news broadcast reporting the story also mentions it was several years ago.
The DM article also mentions Airline Ambassadors which ties into this voat comment from @cantsleepawink, And the Clinton Foundation.
Interesting that this organization works with Courage Worldwide. They are involved with a training program for flight attendants http://airlineamb.org/our-programs/human-trafficking-awareness/aai-presentation/. From the powerpoint slides (re: slide 31) you can see that flight attendants are told NOT to: confront anyone, or try to rescue a child, or display any concern. Instead to call a trafficking hotline.*
And that would be the National Human Trafficking Hotline (NHTH) https://humantraffickinghotline.org/about-nhtrc/join-team. And they are run by a charity called Polaris https://polarisproject.org/about. And they share data and collaborate with the Clinton Foundation https://www.clintonfoundation.org/blog/tag/human-trafficking

I don't find it odd at all. I know exactly what they are doing. They are scamming us and trying to shut down the pizzagate investigation with their 'nothing to see here anymore folks, we've got this covered' rhetoric.

That training about 'letting it' go' is coming from Washington ! And the circle that Alefantis hangs out with. I've written about it here in voat ! This article is nothing but window dressing !

Oh, yeah that's what they would LOVE for you to do.... report it, and "let it go",.....

Isn't the exactly the opposite of the new homeland security video campaign that says your "second look" could save a life? The second look could mean checking back and making sure the right things happened after your initial report.

I strongly disagree with your statement about "letting it go."
I am a counselor and hear sick shit all day long. I have dealt with situations that are the things of nightmares.
Letting things go is what you have to do. You report the abuse to the authorities and they handle it. It is out of your hands at that point. Letting go means you have done your part and there is nothing more you can do to aid the victim.
I admit it is poor wording on her part and could be taken in the way you presented. The truth is, you tell yourself to let go but you can't. I have years of training and it still ears away at me everytime I report something. You search the papers and internet for arrest records and pray to whatever is out there that the kid or victim gets the help and justice the need.
Letting it go is not saying it is ok or moving on from it, it is accepting you did everything you could and it is not in your control anymore. These are two very different things.

I think you completely misunderstand what is meant here. Please read my comments in this post https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1489919
