His actions ultimately saved numerous children from a horrific fate.

Proper described the harrowing experience on Facebook:
“[Human trafficking] is real… I followed them from midtown Atlanta all the way to [Gwinett County], almost damn near to [Lake Lanier]. My ancestors and GOD said don’t stop, give in or give up,” he wrote.
“Stay with them, we will guide you and protect you along the way! We must bring awareness to this matter…I need your help guys, human trafficking is a major thing here in the city of Atlanta.”
According to Langston’s friend, they are now receiving death threats due to their involvement in exposing the human trafficking operation.
“Side note! Me and my boyfriend is the ones in the viral video of the people in the budget truck! The video keeps being deleted and death threats!”
“We’re both trying to navigate the situation… Either Way Shouldn’t no kid be in the back of a truck in 100+weather so [I don’t know]!”
“We know it has legs of its own now it create awareness & is as people to be aware! And conversation.”
