Kevin Kimmel was parked at a truck stop when he noticed an old RV and a young girl who appeared briefly at the window before being pulled back and the shade drawn. Having attended training from Truckers Against Trafficking, Kimmel recognized the signs and called police. That call ended weeks of physical and sexual abuse for the girl.
Truckers Against Trafficking was founded in 2009. Its co-founder Kylla Lanier notes trafficking happens everywhere including truck stops. The group trains drivers and employees to spot indicators such as a person without access to their own ID or money, scripted conversation, or a child abruptly pulled from sight. Trainees are asked only to call authorities.
Since 2009 the organization has trained over 2 million people. Those trainees have helped free hundreds of victims including more than 300 minors. District Manager Sam Tahour of TA Travel Plaza says the training changed how he views situations and equips people to act as heroes.

A great outcome, but it’s sad that the world is like this.
So true. Makes me want to cry…then do bad things to the perps…just look away. It’ll be only a few minutes.
God bless Kevin Kimmel. He saved a life!
Thank You truckers that are the economic engines for us!
Amen to that... so many would have turned a blind eye but this man did not.
Honk! Honk!!
