Believe it or not, human trafficking is a real problem right here in Michigan. In fact, the state was among the highest number of trafficking cases in the nation.

In fact, one Michigan father was made undeniably aware that human trafficking rings are becoming an alarming issue in his state.

Nahar Ali, a man, who Ali says is not himself, explains that his family was shopping at Target when his wife and daughter almost became a statistic in the human trafficking rings that plague his state.

Ali recorded his alert while sitting anxiously in his car in the Target parking lot late at night, letting others know what had happened to his wife and youngest daughter as he discussed the distressing reality that was being ignored.

In an effort to raise awareness, he describes the traumatic experience his wife and youngest daughter went through when they were suddenly surrounded by three vehicles in the Target parking lot after the two had gone shopping together.

In his recorded video clip, seeing suspicious vehicles parked in the rear of store parking lots is very common as these criminals look for their next victim to grab.

“It’s weird, it’s gut-wrenching,” he adds, speaking of the people who are suspiciously waiting in the back of parking lots late at night for a great length of time. “Who are you looking for, sitting out there in the dark?” he asks rhetorically.

“I could’ve lost my wife and my child to this situation,” he continues, relaying that he’s thankful two women came out of Target that night with an awareness that made them realize something wasn’t right, causing them to sit and watch after getting into a car near his wife.

“There’s so much going on in this country right now, and everybody wants to fight with everybody. Here’s something we can all stand behind,” he says, pointing out that “these stories are popping up so frequently,” we must “understand that we all need to be talking about this.”

He urges viewers, “Watch when your family goes out at night, keep an eye on your children, keep an eye on your wife,” before adding that it’s important for people, especially women, to have a way to protect themselves in public. “If she’s able to carry a gun, great. Mace, a knife, something.”

He recommends that women avoid shopping at night, regardless of where they go.

“These vehicles are parked suspiciously in different parking lots all over. These stories are popping up left and right,” he warns. “Be vigilant, keep your eyes peeled, look around for people.”
