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 family, your friends, 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! un 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.
I'd like you to forward this to all the women you know. It may save a life.
A candle is not dimmed by lighting another candle. .
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

Most of this seems like good advice. I have heard the part about running when they have a gun, but I think it is only when they aren't holding it to you ('under their control').
The crying baby part seems to be a hoax: http://urbanlegends.about.com/.....y.htm

most of it does sound like good advice. im surprised not to see on the list though, to check under your car in a parking lot before getting in to drive away. im always told that.
do you think most people who have a gun know how to use it, or some people just have one for their egos and cant fire a shot straight if they tried? if someone knows how to use the gun I dont see a point in running, really. but I guess you never know.
boy these are morbid thoughts, and im about to go to sleep...

Police will tell you that guns aren't very accurate except in the hands of a sharpshooter. That is why they aim for the body and not limbs with a fleeing suspect. They may not want to shoot to kill, but they have a better chance of hitting them that way. Once they are out of close range, it is hard to hit a moving target. Some will advise you to run, but not in a straight line (like I'm going to be able to do that while running away from someone with a gun?). Also, gunshots will draw attention, so most don't really want to shoot if they are in a populated area.

Yes I heard if you run erratically there is less chance of being shot at, but not if the person has an automatic which shoots a few rounds in a few seconds.
Truth is, when you are in trouble you get an adrenaline rush and it causes you to do stuff you wouldn't dream of doing in normal circumstances.
