I know such evil exists and how real it is. That is probably one of many reasons I am so greatly involved in my children's lives, obviously my daughter now in college. Very attractive. I walked the campus with her, twice, pointing danger points - like the parking garage - particularly elevator and staircase. Only park when other people around. when she visits now, she will be reminded for 10 or 15 minutes of safety rules. The list is long.
That if she breaks down on the highway, day or night, call me and then 911 and tell them you are a teenager and broken down. If someone hits you with their car, seemingly an accident, if in remote location, to call me and begin with a description of the other car including license if a man. Let him hear you doing it. Nor trust a man just because a woman is along or an older man (or young teen).
I always stress that under no circumstances go with an abductor and scream like crazy, fight like crazy. A gun or knife changes nothing. Refuse. Fight. If the person will stab or shout you there, that person will do so when getting you alone. At least the first way help may come. You will not be tortured and tormented. Life or die before the abduction, not after.
Avoid being alone, go on guard if she ever finds that she is, anywhere, any place.
Getting license numbers, even if partial. Never be embarrassed to run from someone, on and on. And never, ever, ignore a sense of danger or that something is wrong even if you don't know what it is.
The list is very long and she has heard it all hundreds of times before. I want it burned in as no thought-instinct. To not have to try to figure what to do because it's burned in.
In her employment - one that does have potential danger - I picked mentors and protectors at that location too.
She bought her own handgun rather than one I would give her so she had HER own - a surprise to me - on her 18th birthday. And enrolled in a CCW class, even though she can't get a permit until 21.
In her life, she's never been hurt, not for one second. But 99% of that is avoiding being in risk situations to begin with.
