Incredibly Brave 11-Year-Old Girl Smuggles Note From Captive Mom Into School


Teachers are mandated reporters, which means that if they hear or see that a student is in danger, they are required to contact the correct agency to get the child help.

Because educators spend so much time with their students, they are often in a good position to know if they need help. Recently, this huge and important responsibility was put in action when an 11-year-old girl arrived at her Louisiana school with a note from her mom that shocked everyone.

On November 1, the young girl’s mother slipped a note into her backpack that was intended for school officials. It said that the woman was scared and being held against her will.
