[QUOTE="Star*, post: 438799, member: 4964"] Mattsmom - I wouldn't speculate as to what, who,why ----more than one person in a small town missing like this? Change YOUR patterns. People that are taken are watched - hardly ever taken at random. Their routines are studied. Carry mace and until someone is caught? EXPECT to be the person that is taken - have a heightened sense of awareness about ANYONE - Do NOT park next to a van. If you come out of a place and are parked next to one - either ask someone to walk with you to your car or enter from the passenger side. CHECK under the vehicle as you approach for feet. People are taken nowadays in broad daylight - stick to well populated areas and as a precaution? Carry a pen in your hands at all times - it doesn't look suspicious - but it could save your life - pointy end down. You can stab someone with it if need be. If you are caught by surprise - YELL FIRE FIRE FIRE - not HELP HELP HELP-------No one pays attention to HELP anymore. Yelling the word RAPE may be a good one to yell but it depends on the crowd. FIRE -----will get people to get involved. It's never too late to take a simple self defense class ----and have a police officer speak at a community center with a neighborhood watch group. You can organize this easily. 30 minutes could save a life - There are simple things that you can do to protect yourself people never think of - Walking with a rolled up magazine for instance -if confronted? You can literally injure someone with one if you know how to hit someone in the right spots and disable them long enough to run away. Maybe you can have someone that sells pepper spray come to sell it if you get an officer to speak - and carry them on the wrist if your kids are out walking ----too. Just tyring to think of ways to make sure everyone up in Canada is safe - at this point? I would NOT allow any of my kids out to go anywhere in groups of less than ten. And I think carpooling with two adults would be very popular right now. Sending your family and town hugs. [/QUOTE]
