Hi lovelies!

A similar situation happened to me when I was younger. I ran so fast.

Good job - don't over analyze - if it feels wrong it is. The worst that could happen by running is you feel bad about some random strangers who you felt you should have been polite to.

I'm sorry I'm super late to the party here 😅 but I almost got lured into sex trafficking too.
My encounter:
Back in December of 2014, I was 15 years old. I was at the mall with my stepdad and stepsister. After waking around and shopping, we decided to sit down for a minute. While they were trying to decide where we wanted to eat at, I sat in a different chair minding my own business. Suddenly, this girl approached me. She asked me what my favorite color is, what my name is, how old I was, and what my interests are. She asked me about school. I answered all of her questions and told her I was 15 and that I was a freshman in high school. She told me she likes everything I like. She said her name was Mary and the other girl was her friend Alisha (Alisha didn't talk to me at all. She just waved to me and then continued doing whatever she was doing on her phone). Mary told me she was 14 and that she was in 8th grade in middle school. I was very excited and happy because I thought I finally met a friend who's close to my age (I was an oddball so I didn't have any friends at school). But after a while, she asked me if I was by myself. I pointed to my stepdad and stepsister and said "Nope, I'm with them.". After he reported them to security, he told us we were done with the mall for a while. At first, I was a little disappointed because I thought I missed an opportunity to be friends with her. And I hoped (and prayed to God) that Mary, Alisha and I will meet again someday. But after we left, my stepdad and stepsister had a serious talk with me about them. They told me that the girl only agreed to everything I told her to get my attention, that Mary is probably not her real name, that she could've lied to me about her age, that the other girl could've been texting some creepy man and telling him about me and that they could've kidnapped me. My mom eventually found out about it (I figured he told her). She told me if he wasn't there, I would've been in that movie called Taken (she meant I would've been kidnapped and possibly sold for sex). This is a true story. I know that was a while ago, but I just wanted to share my story with you to let you know you're not alone. Please be safe out there and have a great day or night ❤
