Interesting that this organization works with Courage Worldwide. They are involved with a training program for flight attendants
http://airlineamb.org/our-programs/human-trafficking-awareness/aai-presentation/
. From the powerpoint slides (re: slide 31) you can see that flight attendants are told NOT to: confront anyone, or try to rescue a child, or display any concern. Instead to call a trafficking hotline.*
I don't find it odd at all. I know exactly what they are doing. They are scamming us and trying to shut down the pizzagate investigation with their 'nothing to see here anymore folks, we've got this covered' rhetoric.
Flight Attendants Train to Spot Human Trafficking - NBC News
'Last year, the FAA Extension, Safety, and Security Act of 2016 implemented training of flight attendants to spot potential trafficking victims. '
'Flight attendants call the pilot when they suspect a human trafficking victim is on board. '
'Until that happens, Rivard will keep traveling across the country teaching flight attendants how to be the eyes in the sky protecting human trafficking victims. '
'The girl "looked like she had been through pure hell," said Fedrick, 49, a flight attendant working for Alaska Airlines. ', "Houston's Mayor Sylvester Turner also used the Super Bowl to highlight the city's ongoing effort to combat human trafficking in the region."
"One part of our training, and it's the difficult part, but once we report it, we're supposed to let it go," says Andrea Hobart, 36, an Airline Ambassador trainer and flight attendant with Alaska Airlines. "Even though it's hard to let it go, you transfer it into the hands of the authorities and they'll pursue the case."
That training about 'letting it' go' is coming from Washington ! And the circle that Alefantis hangs out with. I've written about it here in voat ! This article is nothing but window dressing !
I strongly disagree with your statement about "letting it go."
I am a counselor and hear sick shit all day long. I have dealt with situations that are the things of nightmares.
Letting things go is what you have to do. You report the abuse to the authorities and they handle it. It is out of your hands at that point. Letting go means you have done your part and there is nothing more you can do to aid the victim.
I admit it is poor wording on her part and could be taken in the way you presented. The truth is, you tell yourself to let go but you can't. I have years of training and it still ears away at me everytime I report something. You search the papers and internet for arrest records and pray to whatever is out there that the kid or victim gets the help and justice the need.
Letting it go is not saying it is ok or moving on from it, it is accepting you did everything you could and it is not in your control anymore. These are two very different things.
That makes no sense. Why would you call a hotline when a crime is being commited? I do not call a hotline, I call the police. Who is going to take the man into custody and charge him?
I would have understood the meaning had your other comment been added to the one i replied to. My comment was strictly in regard to this article. I must have missed the other post.
Isn't the exactly the opposite of the new homeland security video campaign that says your "second look" could save a life? The second look could mean checking back and making sure the right things happened after your initial report.

Its odd that this story happened a few years ago but is only now being reported.
but is only now being reported.
This article and the video pop up of the TV news broadcast reporting the story also mentions it was several years ago.
The DM article also mentions Airline Ambassadors which ties into this voat comment from @cantsleepawink , And the Clinton Foundation.

I know what you mean. Nothing is really odd in all this considering the circumstances.
