A kidnapped North Carolina teenager was rescued by police last week after signalling for help using a hand gesture she learned on TikTok.

The 16-year-old used the hand signal, originally meant as a nonverbal cue to help victims of domestic abuse, to signal distress to a passing motorist. Created in 2020, the signal spread across social media as a way to alert others to trouble at home.

As Caryn Lieberman reports, the driver recognized the symbol and alerted authorities in Kentucky, who were then able to rescue the teen.
