In the USA, a girl escaped from a pedophile by showing the driver of a nearby car a gesture from TikTok
In the USA, a missing 16-year-old girl managed to escape from being kidnapped by a pedophile due to the fact that she showed the driver of a nearby car a gesture that she had previously seen on TikTok. This is reported by Fox 8 News.
A man driving next to the kidnapper's car drew attention to the fact that the passenger was showing him with gestures an international universal signal for help in case of domestic violence or other problems – she turned her hand to him, squeezed thumb and covered it with the rest of her fingers. He understood her gestures and immediately called the police.
As a result, law enforcement officers stopped the car and detained a 61-year-old man right on the highway. In the back seat, he was carrying a kidnapped minor girl. Sexual pictures of her were found on his phone. The victim said that she traveled with the kidnapper in a number of states.
Earlier it became known that the owners of the Chinese version of the TikTok application (Douyin) limited the viewing time of content for children under 14 years old. Now users of this age category will be able to use the popular application for only 40 minutes a day at any time from 6 am to 10 pm. The rest of the time the platform will be unavailable.
