This is a good reminder for all of us. Here in Sacto there was an abduction & assault at one of our jr. colleges at 8:30 am in the parking lot. Don't let fear stop you from living but don't be stupid about staring fear in the face (it does protect us from time to time.)

Abduction Precautions for Women
We can now add to the list of victims the retired 77 yr. old TCU

professor from Ft Worth whose body was found last week in Oklahoma --and the
11

yr.old in Sarasota , FL. Because of these recent abductions in daylight

hours, refresh yourself of these things to do in an emergency

situation...This is for you, and for you to share with your wife, your

children, everyone you know.



After reading this, forward it to someone you care about. It never hurts

to be careful in this crazy world we live in.





1 . Tip from Tae Kwon Do : The elbow is the strongest point on your

body. If you are close enough to use it, do!





2. Learned this from a tourist guide in New Orleans . If a robber asks

for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM . Toss it away from

you....chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse

than you, and he will go for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER

DIRECTION!



3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car, kick out the back

tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. The

driver won't see you, but everybody else will. This has saved lives.



4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping, eating,

working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list,

etc. DON'T DO THIS!) The predator will be watching you, and this is the

perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side, put a gun to
your

head, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR, LOCK

THE DOORS AND LEAVE.



5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking

garage:



A.) Be aware: look around you, look into your car, at the passenger side

floor, and in the back seat.



B..) If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the

passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them

into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.



C.) Look at the car parked on the driver's side of your vehicle, and the

passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car,

you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a

guard/policeman to walk you back out.



IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than

dead.)



6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. (Stairwells are

horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot).



7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS

RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times;

And even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN!





8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP . It may get

you raped, or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well

educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women.

He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked "for help" into his

vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.



9. Another Safety Point: Someone just told me that her friend heard a

crying baby on her porch the night before last, and she called the

police because it was late and she thought it was weird. The police told her

"Whatever you do, DO NOT open the door."





The lady then said that it sounded like the baby had crawled near a

window, and she was worried that it would crawl to the street and get

run over. The policeman said, "We already have a unit on the way, whatever

you do, DO NOT open the door." He told her that they think a serial killer

has a baby's cry recorded, and uses it to coax women out of their homes

thinking that someone dropped off a baby. He said they have not verified

it, but have had several calls by women saying that they hear baby

crying outside their doors, when they're home alone at night.



Please pass this on and DO NOT open the door for a crying baby. This

e-mail should probably be taken seriously because the Crying Baby theory

was mentioned on America's Most Wanted this past Saturday when they

profiled the serial killer in Louisiana.



If you do become under the control of someone, let your animal instincts
take over, fight,

kick, gouge, scream, claw, growl, scratch, don't give up, you might just
save your own life.



Send this to any woman you know that may need to be reminded that the

world we live in has a lot of crazies in it, and it's better to be safe

than sorry.
