Flight attendant's instinct stops case of human smuggling

[marylander1940]

Flight attendants make their living flying...but few could be considered angels like Shelia Frederick. On a flight in 2011, she was one for a teenage girl.

 

"Something in the back of my mind said something is not right," Frederick said.

 

Frederick said the girl wouldn't look at her or respond to questions, the man she was flying with answered everything.

 

"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 said.

 

Frederick was able to tell the girl under her breath to go to the bathroom. The veteran flight attendant put a note on the mirror for her.

 

"She wrote on the note she needed help," Frederick said.

 

Frederick notified the pilot who alerted police. She had just saved a teenage girl from being a victim of human trafficking.

 

"I've been a flight attendant for ten years and its 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," Frederick said.

One of my closest friends has been a flight attendant for 30 years. She has the bubbly personality and ability to be kind to people that a flight attendant needs, but she also has the observational skills required to quell an unruly passenger or spot something like human trafficking.

 

The women and men who serve as flight attendants might very well save your life someday. This is proof. Sheila Frederick just saved that girl's.

Exactly besides it was about time for us to say something nice about TSA, travelling, planes, flight attendants, etc...

I hope that statement didn't sound shallow.

Nothing you said sounded shallow. We tend to forget about the good things when they work.

Or in this case when they do even more than expected.

True that!
