Everyone should take 5 minutes to read this

Because of 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 these  9 crucial tips ,

forward them 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.  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.   

If someone

is in the car

with a gun

to your head

DO   NOT DRIVE  OFF,

repeat:

DO   NOT DRIVE  OFF!

Instead start the engine

and speed into anything,   wrecking the car.

Your Air Bag will save you.

If the person is  in the back seat

they will get the worst of it.

As soon as the car crashes

get out and run.

It is better  than having them  find your body

in a remote location.

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 .

Some 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

and get someone -

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.

This is especially true at NIGHT!)

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,   Preferably in a zig -zag pattern!

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 sympathy 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's cries   outside their doors

when they're home alone at night.  

Please pass this on and DO NOT  open the door

for a crying baby ----

The Crying Baby theory   was mentioned on America's Most Wanted  this past Saturday  when they profiled the serial killer in  Louisiana
