I cannot IMAGINE what girls who are sold or smuggled by sex traffickers must go through.
I know it happens all around us… it just doesn’t seem like real life. It’s like a living nightmare. I truly cannot imagine something more horrific.
And while most of these stories are entirely tragic… this one has a happy ending:
HERO postal worker saves girl from sex traffickers. https://t.co/VnG16zsQrX

Wow…
I mean, just wow. He literally saved her life.
Can you even imagine?
Fox News tells the story:
A California girl who claims she was trapped in a world of sex trafficking until recently credits a South Sacramento postal worker with her rescue.
In June, Ivan Crisostomo, a postal carrier, heard a “desperate crying” coming from behind a tree. When he looked around, he saw 16-year-old Crystal Allen.
And then it gets REALLY scary.
I mean.. She claimed they were “putting things in her.” Holy freaking CRAP
“She started to point to her arm, saying: ‘They were putting things in me. They were putting things in me. They are coming to get me,'” Crisostomo recalled Allen telling him, according to FOX 40.
I would have been absolutely TERRIFIED at that moment.
She told the postal worker that she escaped out of her kidnapper’s car as they were driving through the neighborhood.
Allen was allegedly “drugged, tortured and abused” for three months before she escaped.”
“I just cried all the time and prayed that I’d get to see my mom again.”
Absolutely heartbreaking.
It is not currently clear whose Allen’s alleged captors are or how she became involved with them.
The teen and Crisostomo were reunited on Thursday, where she thanked him for helping her.
“Ivan himself is a hero for saving me,” Allen told FOX 40. “Even though he doesn’t think it.”
We certainly think so, too.
