Beware of strangers

- The Ear -

FOILED KIDNAP? While standing by the roadside waiting for transportation, a young college student (a girl) was approached by two men who talked to her and asked some questions. The men (strangers) stood "sandwiching" her and invited her to go with them. Just then her father came and the two men left in haste and boarded a PUJ.

NO GOOD. For sure those two men were up to something no good. Could they be human traffickers? Kidnappers? The age-old warning "Don’t talk to strangers" still holds today.
