GEORGE TOWN: A woman is pleading to authorities to rescue her son, who she claims has fallen victim to a human trafficking syndicate in Cambodia.

The school teacher who wished to be known only as Tan, 42, said it started in June this year when her son, 19, saw a job vacancy on social media and he took the offer.
