Emily’s story isn’t an isolated case. Since 2021, dozens of SOS hand signal rescues have been reported globally.
-
In Kentucky, a missing teen used the same gesture to alert passing drivers — leading to her rescue.
-
In India, a woman trapped in a forced marriage used the sign during a video call, prompting intervention.
-
In Spain, a domestic abuse victim flashed the signal to a store clerk — and walked away free.
Each story echoes the same truth: awareness saves lives.
“You don’t need to be a hero,” Sarah said later. “You just need to know the sign.”
