blog post #5

    I recently interviewed two nonprofit organizations on human trafficking. These organizations were love146, and Triad Ladder Of Hope. In these interviews, we talked about signs that people being human trafficked show including; an increase in grades and performance if they were poor students before, tattoos, and brandings of the human trafficker's name or a money bag. It is also a common misconception that human trafficking happens across borders. 

    Recent crime updates entail that according to fox8 "Prosecutors are suggesting that former High Point Police officer Laura Steele spend the next 97 to 121 months in federal prison for conspiring with other members of the Oath Keepers militia group to overturn the 2020 presidential election." According to Fox8 News after a multi-county chase ends, a kidnapping survivor was recovered. According to the High Point department, "The driver ran around the front of the car while clutching something in both hands while the back passenger exited the car while holding a gun in his right hand. Due to the officer’s vigilance and seeing what was occurring, he was already exiting the car, this caught Turner off-guard and he dropped the gun and ran in the other direction."

    Those are the recent updates on crime in High Point, and the recent updates on my beat interviews. The final copy will be done on Wednesday, and I'm planning on interviewing two more nonprofit organizations on Monday.
