Wayne and Stacy Flagg were doing everything they could think of to keep their 14-year-old daughter safe from online predators. Their daughter did not have a cell phone.  They monitored her online activity and limited her time on the computer.  Still, on May 15, 2021, Kyla told her dad she loved him then left the house to meet a man she met while gaming online.

That started what Wayne and Stacy say was the worst 39 days of their lives.  What they did not know was the man had spent time grooming Kyla, telling her a fairy tale and making promises he did not keep. 

Kyla’s story is part of a two-part series on sex trafficking.  This is information parents need to know.
