Found Safe GA - Caitlin Winchester, 14, missing after first day at N. Atlanta High School, 5 Aug 2021 *Arrest*

[HM99]

Maybe phone data????

Or somebody wanted that $100,000 reward. I’m just glad she was found fairly quickly.

I think apart from this person arrested parents should be for-warned by reading about trafficking...it could happen on any corner, with any of young girl......in this case it looks likes Caitlin was not your average vulnerable victim. Only that should raise the alarm bells even more.

Of course, but the tactics used and the point of contacts made would be valuable, no? This girl does not fit the current narrative of vulnerability for potential trafficking victims. I keep out of the debates I see on here, even though I have personal knowledge of some in my local area who don't fit it either. One reason that narrative continues is that when these girls are recovered (thankfully) they need their privacy in order to move forward without stigma. I am totally for that, however, we have got to find a way to tell these stories in order to save these kids, male and female.

I agree on that. For me it's all starting with the demand site. What sick persons (and there are a lot it seems) want to have sex with a minor? Even a minor they know is enslaved....

Hypothetically speaking, not specific to this case bc we don’t know…adults don’t always know the ages of the child. it will be interesting to see if Andree gets more charges. She didn’t get to Texas without some help.

So so glad she was found. Now I'm wondering about the suspect because it looks like he was only charged with harboring her so far:

The Arlington Police Department told Channel 2 Action News that a 23-year-old man was arrested in the case. Andre McNair was charged with harboring a runaway child, which is a Class A misdemeanor in Texas.

McNair is currently being held in jail on a $5,000 bond.

I sure hope he will "talk" (implicate who else is involved, if anyone) before he bonds out.

Good!!!

You using the word child says enough....

Technology is bringing these predators straight into the safety of the home. I dont even want to say anything else that will come off victim blamey. I am happy this child is home and i wish the same for all the little ones on that first page.

The more information the authorities release, the easier it will be for all parents to see how this could happen to any child. I think the public needs to know how this happened, how she was located and if this guy has done this before.

Putting out the stories, yes....but anonymously. there is a wonderful site that is cracking all the myths about trafficking...have to go look for it. Recognizing Human Trafficking

Bc WE know she’s a child.

Bc WE know she’s a child.

Bringing your post back up. "adults don’t always know the ages of the child". That only counts when someone is almost at the age of consent and presenting himself or herself as older...you could get confused....IMO not with a 14 year old.

BBM probably this is the easiest, most obvious charge that doesn't require investigating so they can hold him (although that bail isn't too high) and if more charges are necessary, they have a bit of time to file additional charges.

thats a slap on the wrist. what reason does a 23 year old man have tp pick up a 14 year old girl. not a good one.

 

[LotusPawprint]

It looks like McNair is from Florida but was living in Texas. Still trying to find the connection.

 

[swanniee11]

Reading the above MSM, he was arrested for harboring a run away. MY A**!!!! She's 14 hes's 23!!!!! Took her to TX!!! There had better be a lot more charges against this perv! IMO

According to the original MSM report posted that there was an arrest made, it reads as though finding her was coincidental/a stroke of very good luck?

Police in Arlington responded to a home Tuesday after a passerby reported a possible suspicious person at the location. Police said Winchester and McNair were both outside.

Seems it was suspicious people/activity reported by a citizen rather than police following on leads/evidence, or the Texas citizen recognizing the missing Georgia girl.

Strange.

What was going on over there? The 911 call would be interesting to hear.....
