With the tragic incident of Kelsey Smith from Overland Park KS ; these are
some tips that might refresh your mind on what to do if you ever encounter
this type of situation.
For those of you unfamiliar with Kelsey Smith, she was a 17 year old
abducted from a Target parking lot in Overland Park, KS on Saturday, June 2nd in
broad daylight. Her body was located in Missouri several days later. Her
abductor was caught on surveillance cameras follow Kelsey into Target, leaving
moments before her. Her abduction was also, but not clearly, on tape. When
Kelsey did not arrive where she was supposed to be Saturday, searchers started
looking for her. They were finally able to track her movements via her cell
phone "pinging" cell towers. They found her body in a wooded
area in Missouri.

Everyone should take 5 minutes to read this. It may save
your life or love one's life. Crucial 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. 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
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 theircheckbook 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 agun to your head and tell you
where to go.
AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR, LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE.

a. If someone is in the car with a gun to your head
DO NOT DRIVE OFF, repeat: DO NOT DRIVE OFF! Instead gun 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 bail 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 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.
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 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.
************* Here it is *******
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 ----
This e-mail should probably be taken seriously because
it 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.
I was going to send this to the ladies only,
but guys,
if you love your mothers,
wives,
sisters,
daughters, etc.,
you may want to
pass it onto them, as well.

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.
Everyone should take 5 minutes to read this. It may save
your life or a loved one's life

Great tips, Judy. Here's one more. If you have a cell phone, always have it charged and with you. Even if you don't have service you can call 911 as long as the phone has power and a signal. If you're in a situation where you can't talk, dial 911 and leave the connection open. In areas with enhanced (e911) service first responders will be able to track the phone.

In all of the cars I have owned, the taillights cannot be kicked out from inside the trunk, but they can be unbolted, which would also draw attention.

Our Ford Taurus has a trunk release than can be opened from inside the trunk. The handle even glows in the dark.

Tightly rolled up news paper, held in middle like a dagger, bring it down knife like on his head, often kills, go for it!

Judy mentioned kicking out the tail lights in a car if you are in the trunk. Based on the way most cars are constructed, that’s probably impossible. But you can get to the tail and brake light wiring. Rip it out. This dramatically increases the odds of the car being pulled over by the police. Also, there is a good chance you can open the trunk from inside. Fiddle with the latch as best you can and it just might open. Use a pencil, comb or anything you can find in the trunk. You might end up with badly pinched fingers, but that sure beats dead.

This is just for kids. A number of predators have snatched kids from their bicycles. Teach your kid that if someone tries to do that, hold on to the bike for dear life. This will significant delay the perp and it’s impossible to stuff a kid into a car with the bike attached.

If a car is involved and you manage to escape, don’t run in the same direction the car is pointed. Go the opposite direction or lateral and make the perp back up, turn, whatever. This is a delaying tactic. If you run in the same direction as the car, he might just be able to run you down.

Another one for kids. We always teach our kids to be nice and not talk to strangers. Teach your kids this specifically doesn’t apply if they’ve been abducted. If you can escape, find an adult, grab their arm, don’t let go and ask for help. Don’t be nice. An adult with a kid latched to their arm or leg will absolutely not ignore the situation and will call the police if asked.
