This story happened to my daughter when she was in the tenth grade. At some point, I began to notice strange behavior in her that was out of character for her. It all started when one day she was very late coming home from school. I called her, but she didn’t answer the phone. After waiting another hour, I started to worry a lot and contacted her class teacher. The teacher told me that she had left the school right after school. My panic was growing, and my mind was racing. My daughter returned home late at night.
– Why didn’t she answer the phone? Where were you?” I began to ask her. My daughter just waved me off. –
– “Mom, don’t get upset. I was out with my friends and my phone died. I’m sorry I forgot to call you. When she took off her outerwear, I noticed a new branded T-shirt and earrings.
– Where did you get these?
– A friend gave it to me.
-What friend?
– Oh, come on, mom, I’m tired. It’s just a friend, you don’t know him, I’ll introduce him later.
She rushed to her room and closed the door. The situation was alarming, but I decided to postpone the conversation until the next morning. The next morning, she managed to rush out of the house before me, and we didn’t get to talk. It seemed to me that she was just avoiding the conversation. That day she was late from school again and didn’t pick up the phone. The time was approaching night, and I started to worry seriously. Suddenly the phone rang.
– “Mom, please take me away from here,” my daughter cried. She managed to dictate the address, and the call ended. I felt panic in my throat. I dialed my ex-husband’s number with trembling fingers.
Usually I tried not to talk to him, but the situation was urgent. He arrived very quickly, picking up a couple of friends. We went to the address. There was a huge mansion there, and music was playing loudly. My ex-husband and his friends went into the house and in a few minutes pulled out my daughter, who was crying. It turned out that a guy had met her the other day, gave her some expensive things and promised to teach her how to make good money. To find out the details, he invited her to this party. There, the daughter found out that she was being offered something very indecent, and she did not like it. She realized that she had made a big mistake.
– “Oh, my silly girl, free cheese is only in a mousetrap,” I stroked my daughter’s hair, holding her close.
