There’s quite a story from the states about a teen who was rescued after someone picked up on her distress signal that was popularized by ‘TikTok.’
The gesture, which was introduced by the Canadian Women’s Movement, is a hand up, palm out, then thumb tucked with the fingers folding down to trap the thumb.
A missing 16 year old who travelled through 4 states with a 61 year old used the signal to get the attention of passing motorists who then called 9-1-1 and she was rescued.
