Many years ago I met a young girl who was still in school who had attempted suicide.
I asked her what had happened. She didn't open her mouth. Tears rolled down her eyes.
Her family told me Chennai police had informed them that they found her in a public place.

The girl had gone missing for one day and reunited with her family. However she attempted suicide.
She survived.
It took a long time for us to develop rapport with her to listen to her story.
She was in class XI and was aspiring to do MBBS. She had got more than 90% in X.

Family gave her a smart phone. She got messages from a guy who told her that he lived in the neighborhood. It was friendly. She chatted and unwound from stress.
He later expressed love feelings. Few more days later he told her that he wants to marry her n eloping was only option

This process took about 6m.
He then took her from her town to Chennai. He offered her a soft drink. She felt drowsy during the journey. She did notice that he was continuously on phone with someone. He told her that he needed to make arrangements.

She asked him for the number of his friend so that she could store it just in case his battery died. He did not give.
In Chennai, both of them waited outside the bus stand. Minutes became hours. The guy got her some snacks. He was calling his friend on and off.

At one point he told her that he will go and get some food. He told her not to go anywhere.
She did exactly that. However some concerned citizens informed the police about this girl and finally she was back home.

The story Iooked like the guy groomed her and was trying to traffic her. The team that was supposed to pick them up probably had some issues and didn't turn up. The guy saved himself and exited from his plan.
The girl survived the kidnapping, trafficking and life of a sex slave

She being a young girl didn't realize this. For her it was that her boyfriend left her and that she had to face shame in her home.
