RD REFLECTION

In this article that I have read, I can feel the intense love of Susana Trimarco for her missing daughter that led to seperation of her irresponsible husband and the fear and extreme courage she would have needed to stand up against the shadowy world of sex trade, alone. Her search for her missing daughter year after year has tire her of her savings but not her hopes of being able to save her daughter someday. Her unbelievable perserverence has led to the attention of the media, and consequently, a large amount of girls being saved from the sex trade. While some mothers rejoice to have their daughters back, others called her for help. Susana had played a very important part in saving girls.
I admired her perserverence and courage. While there might also be some mothers that would search for their own missing daughters, most stop after one year, when their savings might threaten to tire out and have lost hope of ever saving their daughters. I felt that even though her daughter went missing, Susana's search for Marita, if we looked from a higher point of view, has forced the police to work and search for missing girls and saving a lot of female teens which was a good result from the kidnapping. She has chose to stand up to society and as a result, even has the help of the governor of Tucuman. I was very touched by this article.
In Singapore, such cases are rare, firstly it is because Singapore is small , and having an efficient government allows such cases to be tracked very quickly. Also the government cares a lot about citizens and would respond very quickly and the laws of Singapore are very strict. Therefore, after reading this article, I realize how safe Singapore is and how dangerous the "outside world" is.
