Safety for women - Not a joke please read it and pass on
Some sound advice for us all as we all sometimes forget to take common
sense with us when we go out. This is from the Bedfordshire Police.
In light of the recent kidnapping and now murder of Leigh
Mathews it is important to read the following info for your own
safety.
Things women should know to stay safe: Please take the time to read
these pointers. There may just be one or two you hadn't thought of.
After reading this, pass 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. If a robber asks for your handbag, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it
away from you.... he is probably more interested in your handbag than
you and he will go for the handbag. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!
3. If you are ever thrown into the boot of a car: Kick out the back tail
lights and stick your arm through the hole and start waving. 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 cheque book, or making a
list). DON'T DO THIS! A predator could be watching you, and this is the
perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side, and attack
you. AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR, LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE.
5. A few notes about getting into your car in a car park:
A.) Be aware: look around you, look into your car, at the passenger side
floor, and check the back seat.
B.) If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the
passenger door. Most attackers surprise 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 shop, 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 lift 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! 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 babies' 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.
Please 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 crazy people and it's better to be safe than sorry.
