NC man, 61, faces kidnapping, child charges after missing teen uses hand signals from TikTok


Laurel County sheriff's deputies on Nov. 4 arrested James Herbert Brick, 61, after receiving a 911 call about a young, female passenger in a silver Toyota who "appeared to be in distress" making hand gestures known on the social media app to represent "violence at home – I need help – domestic violence," according to authorities.

One such video with more than 20,000 views posted to TikTok, a short-form video-sharing app popular among teenagers, demonstrates how those in need of help can communicate that they are in distress without saying anything using hand gestures.

Wow. I learned something new and important. Thanks @worldwatcher .

Poor girl had to be in that guy's company then he gets refused and heads back? It wasn't going to end well for her.

Glad the hand signal worked.

What a rescue! I, like @Filly, have learned something new and important.
So glad she thought to use the sign, and so glad it was seen, understood, and reported. A good result for her. Hoping she, with professional help, if needed, will rise above it all and be happy.
