Who knew that GeoGuessr was actually training people for a career in emergency services?
This should actually be a profession.
It probably already is, or is part of one, since those investigating sexual exploitation would check traces in photos and things to get.an idea of location.
There is/was a website for the general public to contribute, if they knew of the locations in the photo.
there is a subreddit, its creepy as fuck. its all cropped out images of children with just a tshirt or some landmark, and people take guesses where they are from.
Good god that is harrowing. Imagine doing that for the CIA….
You’d get fucked up fast.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A dispatcher at the center began communicating with the texter, who was sending messages in Spanish.
Those deputies launched a search in the Casita Springs area, and after just 20 minutes, the texter was found.
Officials said the investigation found that the girl was trafficked into California about two months ago.
The girl identified Gerardo Cruz of Veracruz, Mexico as a suspect in the case.
Cruz has been charged with human trafficking, forcible rape, lewd acts upon a child, luring, and sexual penetration with force.
He pleaded not guilty to the charges, according to online records reviewed by CBS News.

Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect!

Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
