Candidate #1: I CAN SPOT A HUMAN TRAFFICKER A MILE AWAY
Police in Phoenix have disputed Cindy McCain’s claim that she thwarted a human trafficking attempt at Sky Harbor International Airport.
McCain, widow of the late Republican Sen. John McCain and an anti-trafficking activist, told KTAR News 92.3 FM on Monday that she witnessed a child being trafficked at the Phoenix airport last week. “I came in from a trip I’d been on and I spotted — it looked odd — it was a woman of a different ethnicity than the child, this little toddler she had, and something didn’t click with me,” McCain said in the interview. “I went over to the police and told them what I saw, and they went over and questioned her, and, by God, she was trafficking that kid.” The woman, McCain added, was “waiting for the guy who bought the child to get off an airplane.”
Candidate #2: WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSE TO DO WITH HER? THAT CHAIR IS SO…YOU KNOW.
Pleasant Valley School District’s Superintendent has apologized after a student was kept off stage because of her wheelchair Monday night.
In a Local 4 News exclusive, the girl’s parents shared their story in hopes of raising awareness.
It happened during a district-wide choir concert at Pleasant Valley High School.
Megan Ramirez turned to Facebook after the show posting two photos side by side. One photo shows a group of junior high students on stage during the performance. The second photo is a wider shot, showing her 13-year-old daughter Madi, left off stage and sitting alone on the side.
Ramirez says she and her husband arrived right before the show was starting, and realized Madi wasn’t on stage.
“My husband looked at me and said ‘how is she getting up there?’” said Ramirez. “I guess I had faith in the school district that they had a way to get her up there or have students stand with her.”
But that wasn’t the case. Superintendent Jim Spelhaug tells Local 4 News he learned after the incident that they could not find the ramp for that stage ahead of Monday night’s performance.
