A Brighter Future Without Our Shackles and Chains
Slave House
Darcy and her mom, Bev were trafficked on September 13, 2022. Bev did not survive. She passed away on September 12, 2023, just one day shy of being a slave for a year.
Darcy managed to escape on May 9, 2024 and notified authorities. Fremont PD and DHHS both dismissed her complaints and told her that no crime had been committed. She had to return to her traffickers after charities and lawyers said that they couldn’t help.
She escaped again after recording an imminent threat to her life on June 6, 2024. She was told again that no crime had been committed by Fremont PD and DHHS. She phoned even more charities and lawyers. Many told her that she had to notify authorities since a crime had obviously been committed. Their pleas to authorities fell on deaf ears as well.
This continues to this day, November 9, 2025. 18 months after reporting the worst crime known to man and informing tens of thousands, there are still very young children in the care of the traffickers who abused and neglected them. The horrific part for Darcy is that the traffickers threatened to prostitute children as young as 3 years old.
What Can I Do?
It can be terrifying to realize the horrors living next door. Many choose to hide from the painful truth. They can’t admit to it happening in their town or among those they know.
The first step of anything is knowledge. Learn as much as you can from various sources. Once you are confident, pass along that knowledge. The best offense is a good defense. The more people who are knowledgeable, the less likely traffickers are going to work in that area.
Foster a sense of community in your neighborhood. When a person feels safe and has a sense of belonging, they are less likely to fall into the arms of a trafficker. Get to know your neighbors so that you can all look after each other and can spot trouble.
Community is the greatest deterrent to many problems. As a Muslim during the war on terror, we were educated about terrorism. The same techniques used to combat terrorism within a community are the same as with traffickers.
You can always donate time, money or items to any charity. Trafficking victims need help with numerous things. One charity alone isn’t enough.
Auntie Darcy - The Storyteller
Darcy Mohamed
Darcy is described by most as unique. She’s one of those people who has led an eclectic life. She could seem normal enough in a major, multinational city like NYC with Mayor Zohran Mamdani but she is living in the heartland of America in Fremont, Nebraska. She’s unique.
Darcy has listened to the stories of many other unique people and told her own. Her happiest days were spent in a tiny, multinational city surrounded by Detroit called Hamtramck. The children of immigrants from over 30 countries were fixtures in her home and called her Auntie. It was a title she was proud to have.
If Darcy wrote her own epitaph, it would simply state…
