WOMEN'S SAFETY

1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough use it!

2. If a robber asks for your wallet/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you... chances are that he is more interested in your wallet 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 out your arm 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 alist, DON'T DO THIS) The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get into 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 gun the engine and speed into anything, wrecking your car. Your Air Bag with 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.

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 pessenger 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 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 mail 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.

6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs.

7. If the preditor has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 out of 100 times; And even then, it is 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. Seriel Killers pray on the sympathies of unsuspecting women. Some have even walked with a cane, or a limp and often ask for help into his vehicle or with his vehicle...to abduct 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 plice told her "Whatever you do, DO NOT open the dooor." The lady then said that it sounded like the baby had crawled near a window, and she was worrked that it would crawl into the street. 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 thier doors when they are home alone at night.
