Prior to their discovery, a crowd of community members, demonstrators and activists, gathered in front of a reported vacant home located near the 2100 block of North 40th Street, where they claimed sex trafficking of underage children took place.
“They said there were a couple of little missing kids in this house,” Frank Nitty, a community member said in a video posted to Facebook.
Nitty wrote on Facebook that four children had been located after members swarmed the house, but also warned against community members using violence.
Community members continue to inquire why an Amber Alert was not issued for the missing teens, but police claim their disappearance was not considered critical, and also say they struggled with getting needed information from family members.
“But there were accusations about sex trafficking for this one house that was out there and people were understandably very upset, and this was dealing with you know–basically community members who were saying like, ‘That house is–there’s problems.
