Underage Trafficked Girl Rescued from Fishbowl Brothel in Cambodia (as told by Exodus Road NGO)

And then, they brought in Sarah. She was “fresh,” the pimp had told our lead investigator over the phone. Sarah was dressed in street clothes, head down, hands fiddling nervously with a napkin. She was 15 and had been sold by her mother in a neighboring country several days before to work off a debt which her mother owed. Sarah’s virginity had been sold three days prior for $600 USD.
Sarah could not speak the local language, was kept under close watch daily, and had no access to a cell phone or any communication from the outside world. She had been slipped illegally across borders by a system of traffickers that has become a global highway of modern day slaves.
With covert cameras, our investigators were able to record the sale of Sarah for the night, capturing valuable evidence that could be passed on to the trusted authorities in hopes of the pimp’s prosecution. Later, behind a closed door, our operative was able to call a social worker who spoke Sarah’s language. He explained that he was there to help her, not to hurt her, and that he could aid her escape if she wanted. Unfortunately, Sarah was too scared to run, too scared to trust a stranger, understandably.
The following day, our investigator returned to visit Sarah in the brothel, just blocks away from a crowded local market. She scribbled a note, “Please Rescue Me,” on a bill and slipped it to him..."

How many 15 year-old presumably Vietnamese kids know how to write "please rescue me" in English. The story sounds made up.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

I agree, sounds like clickbait and a way to collect donations off of this poor girls ''story''.
These articles are just shameful when they are clearly embellished to make the ''story'' better.

Anyone remember the underage prostitute eye removal story flogged by Somaly Mam for donations?
The eye turned out to have been removed by a doctor as part of a proper surgical procedure for a serious medical reason.

First you wanted everyone to do your work on the Poipet guy and now you want someone to send these people a message.
Do it yourself, we aren't here to write messages for you.
