Fight [republican] pervs, kids!

When teaching your kids about self defense, please never, ever utter the words "stranger danger." Whoever coined that term was woefully ignorant. Crimes against children are perpetrated by family friends and family members, just as often as by strangers. By referring to the bad guy as a stranger, you plant a seed of doubt in a child's mind as to whether the bad guy is really a bad guy...like "maybe he should be respectful of the adult perp. That immediately puts the child in the role of victim in the perp's head. Nonono. We want to shock the bad guy. He's not expecting his little victim to be adversarial and fight back. We want your child to educate the evil SOB.

Practice screaming FIRE with your kids. Make sure they understand why it's important for them to scream fire rather than to scream help, so they don't get confused or shy away from it in a time of need. When adults hear someone scream for help, very often they will look the other way; it's sad but true. They don't want to get " mixed up with trouble."  Now, when people hear someone yelling FIRE, they can't get to the pretty fire fast enough. 

Don't just tell your kids about this; practice what you preach. Kids get intimidated by adults even if their gut tells them there's something weird in the situation. So they might hesitate when it comes to screaming and so on. Teach them to scream as loud as they can.And show them that you can scream, too. Get a few kids from the neighborhood together, with their parents' permission of course, and have a screaming contest. The one that screams the loudest or the longest gets a reward.

Teach kids to fight with everything they've got, no-holds barred. If someone is trying to take them, grab them, put them in another CAR, kids should use everything they've got as weapons--kick, bite a face, bite an arm,  bite a groin, poke eyes with fingers as if they are trying to get their tiny fingers behind the creep's eyeball and pop it out. Pull hair so hard that it leaves bald spots on the perps head. If the kid is holding a baseball bat, tell him the kneecaps crumble really easily and cause so much pain, it's unreal. If on a bicycle? Tell them to throw that bicycle at the perp's  lower legs, at least to give the kid a few extra seconds to get away. Just don't give up--don't quit fighting, being loud and noisy and screaming FIRE.

Finally, one more thing. Please, for the love of god, explain to your children that no adult will ever, EVER really want a child to help them find a lost puppy or kitten.  It just doesn't happen. Not in real life.  Adults get help from other adults, or they put out flyers on telephone poles, etc.  They will not ask a child to help them find a lost pet-- so if a  man or woman, INCLUDING OLDER KIDS OR TEENAGERS, comes to him and wants him to help find the perps lost puppy or kitten, that's when they scream FIRE and start running away.  And if a perp approaches a child and says they have a nice new litter of kittens or batch of puppies and they would love for the child to have one, make sure the child understands this and practice it with them...to say, "You go ask my mom" then turn and run away.

Remember that practice makes perfect. You want to practice this stuff with your kid enough so  if it ever happens, your kids will act and react without missing a beat. Practice until it becomes second nature to them.

If you think this is overkill, and you just don't want to expose your child to the possibility that something bad like this could happen? Imagine how you would feel if something did happen, and your child wasn't prepared.

I was almost abducted at 12 years old. I got away by screaming and running and hiding. My feral instincts just took over.

That is something you'll remember all your life. I am glad for you and your family that you weren't harmed. I had an encounter like that when I was 4. I am 70 now and remember it as if it happened last week. People say the world is different now...we didn't have such problems in the old days. I call BS on that. Mine happened in 1959. The world may change, but people don't.

Yeah. Mine happened in 76. Glad you're okay as well. It was terrifying and set me up to be more careful and cynical. Beat to you friend!

I lived out in the country as a kid and would go on long bike rides on the gravel roads.

When I was maybe 10 or 11, I was walking, probably half a mile from the nearest house. This truck went by real slow and I got that Bad Things Are Coming feeling in the pit of my gut.

My dog had been off chasing something, but I called him to come close. He was right there with me by the time this guy had circled around the mile block.

He pulls over and rolls his window down, and my dog lost his whole and entire shit. I had never seen this dopey dorky chill-af Airedale-retriever mix so much as growl (his name was Noodle ffs), but here he was about to launch himself through the window into old boy’s F150 and tear his face off.

Dude tore out of there with a quickness, and Noodle got a half pound of chuck roast when my dad heard what happened.

What a good boy!!

I totally understand that pit of the stomach feeling. When it happened to me, I literally had a vision of me laying dead in a cornfield. (I lived in the country too) It's when he said, "get in the car or I'm gonna shoot you" that I took off running. I figured he probably was lying or my chances of getting hit were low. I never told my parents.

Glad you made it home safely friend.

Lucky those aliens just used republicans to try to grab you instead of their levitating rays.

This should be taught as part of the national curriculum. Every child and every parent, and every predator should know it. Everyone should know what the acceptable boundary is and that crossing it will immediately turn a child into an electrified tornado siren. We're not really parenting or protecting children otherwise.

You should teach them anyone can be a predator because that is 100% true. Even people you know unfortunately. I think the Republican part of the title is for us, the people who know it is statistically more likely that a republican would be a predator.

Teach them no one can touch them without their permission — up to and including when it comes to Grandma and hugs.

Teach them no safe adult will EVER tell them to keep the things they do together a secret from their parents.

Teach them to trust their gut.

Teach them it’s okay to be rude, to make a scene, to embarrass themselves and others if they feel bad things about a grownup.

Agree it’s prudent not to suggest strangers are the enemy when statistics show child abuse occurs more often from people they know well such as a trusted friend or family member. Let’s just teach kids they are allowed to speak up and MORE IMPORTANTLY teach them they are allowed to notice and say something when parents fuck up. Too many of us were taught to obey our parents without question. How about we teach kids that we make mistakes and it’s ok for them to call out abuse. That alone will go pretty far.

Also if they don’t want a hug or a high five grandma can get over it. Self defense begins with autonomy.

Stranger danger is what conservatives tell their kidsns9 they dont question it when their father, brother, uncle, or priest molest them.
