Sometimes the Internet is literally a life-saver.

Yesterday a small Discord server, of which I am a member, rescued one of its other members from an abusive family. We calmed them down and talked them through what to do when they were too frightened to think straight. The following morning, the member of our group who was physically closest came and picked them up, with all their stuff, and took them to a safe place that had been arranged... via Internet.

Phew.
