A 15-year-old Texas girl was rescued by police 10 days after she was kidnapped at a basketball game while using the bathroom, then trafficked by pedophiles.
The unidentified teenager's father raised the alarm shortly after she left to use the restroom and didn't return to her seat at a Dallas Maverick game in the American Airline Center on April 8.
The girl's family said they pleaded with Dallas police to investigate but the department failed to do so due to Texas Family Code Laws.
Those treat missing teenagers as runaways unless there is evidence of kidnapping. It is unclear if cops made any effort to track down surveillance footage of the girl's abduction, further details of which have yet to be shared.
The victim was only tracked down by Oklahoma City Police at an Extended Stay America Hotel after a counter-trafficking nonprofit found her nude pictures on a prostitution website.
'My heart breaks for the unimaginable things my daughter had to endure for the 11 days she was taken, and I am so glad she is safe as we work towards her recovery,' the girl's mother said in a statement.
Eight people have been arrested in connection to the crime, Fox News reported.
They were identified as Saniya Alexander, Melissa Wheeler, Chevaun Gibson, Kenneth Nelson, Sarah Hayes, Karen Gonzales, Thalia Gibson, and Steven Hill.
The girl's father immediately notified the stadium and security after the girl failed to return to her seat.
On the day of the abduction, she was seen leaving the arena with men. It is unclear why Dallas Police did not find probable cause of abduction. DailyMail.com has reached out to the department for comment.

Shiver. Those faces are terrifying.
Geezer lives matter.
It doesn't make sense today.
So we protect our children from predators, pimps, groomers and exploiters of all types... And yeah, young boys can be taken and destroyed too.
'Texas Family Code(51.03 b. 3) dictates that missing juveniles are investigated as runaways unless there are circumstances which appear as involuntary such as a kidnapping or abduction. Those cases per code are to be filed where the juvenile resides.
What kind of stupidity is that?
What triggers an amber alert? I get them on my cell phone regularly.
more to this story for sure.
i agree with you there- young girls can be pretty stupid, and are flattered easily.
Prepare eight ropes and a hole.
That said, I bet most of the vaguely female perpetrators were prostitutes before meth took its toll.
Prepare more ropes for any “customers”.
This can be fixed with about 200 feet of rope. Give them all ‘suspended’ sentences.
you imply letting them out of jail.
ya, no.
I’m still stuck on letting them live.
...The Mod Squad of sex traffickers.
They all have dead eyes.
Nope, hang them, slowly.
I tried watching that movie.
I stoped when it became Home Alone extreme edition.
Easy fix.
Kill the 8 people, today.
Hang them for public display.
Stop this nonsense.
Not a TRUMP voter in sight.
It’s TRUE!!!!!!!!!!
Personally, I like the Chinese method: take them out behind the courthouse and shoot them right after they’re found guilty.
If that were done on a regular basis, this nonsense would come to a screeching halt.
Exactly.
When it comes to this sort of nonsense, the customer as well as the trafficker, should be executed.
I wonder, did she make contact with someone claiming to sell weed and she left her Dad to make the buy but was abducted instead? She certainly left the stadium with someone willingly it would appear.
Maximum capital punishment for these perps is probably only half harsh enough.
