Child in danger signal

[2006gold]

Came across something I wasn’t aware of. Do you know the “I’m in trouble and need help” signal? It may be used when the victim is too frightened or unable to speak aloud. The thumb is folded into the palm and the fingers repeatedly and rapidly close and open over the fingers. The victim may try to create a distraction to get attention, such as striking you or knocking something over. With all of the sex trafficking of children these days, every child, especially girls, needs to be taught this, and every adult made aware.

I wasn't aware of this either. Something every responsible adult should know. Will copy and post on our community BB. Thanks for the heads-up, 2006gold.

I learned this today here. I showed it to my wife, she already knew it from her staff meetings from her job @ the Mayo Clinic here in Jax

This thread is important enough to give it a "bump".
