Sarah grabbed the office’s shared smartphone and ran downstairs to the building’s entrance, where the guard was momentarily absent. Using Google translate, she asked a taxi driver to drive her to a hospital.

“I can’t even believe it, because I just went out,” Sarah says, now in Kampala, as her two-year-old son plays on the floor next to her. “Maybe God helped me to go.”

I also can’t believe it honestly. She has been supposedly abducted/trafficked yet she could just walk out like that?

with a shared phone they could location track and get her back very quickly. not everything adds up … but the scam centers are definitely real

I’m pretty sure by the time they realized she was gone and tracked the phone she was already at the hospital and it didn’t matter.

getting her back matters a lot as it would keep the story covered up. they probably are bribing low level cops. but when such stories break it attracts attention from higher ups, which could be a problem

Yes not doubt scam centers are real and there are real victims forced to work there.

I just think she is not one of those victims
