I was cut off on my last post. Ran out of writning room. I will be brief.
In order to teach your child vital skills that will give him/her what it takes to avoid, evade & escape the grasps of the Chicken Hawk (child predator), you, the parent, might want to become your child’s Survival Coach. I have written numerous posts on this issue, so all you would have to do is scroll through the KSS library of Hammer blogs. However, here, in a nutshell are some of the vital tasks and duties of a Survival Coach:
- TEACH YOUR CHILD WHO CAN BE TRUSTED. A GOLD LIST, so to speak. A very short list. These are the only people you are permitted to allow close enough to touch you. Teachers, clergy, doctors and other relatives are permitted to be at a “safe” distance, but cannot be allowed to touch you, drive you home, etc. Repeat this Gold List over and over. I advocate 3 different lists, featuring different degrees of trust. The 8-year old boy who was abducted, toirtured, cut-up and later found in an ice box trusted a stranger who lived in a “trustworthy and religious neighborhood.”
- LOVE OF FAMILY IS A CENTRAL IMAGE. Many youngsters who have survived abductions and abduction attempts survived because they were driven to return home by the image of their loving family. Kids can almost do anything when well trained and part of a loving home.
- TEACH YOUR CHILD THE IMPORTANCE OF ALWAYS STAYING AT THE INITIAL CRIME SCENE. Scary but true. Once your child allows him/herself to be taken from the ICS, he or she will be taken to a pre-arranged, isdolated secondary scene from which he or she will like.ly not return. The child must do whatever possible to stay in this high-to-medium witness environment, even if it means getting injured, maybe even severely. At least, more likely than not, he or she will be found by friends, neighbors, police or emergency medical services.
- TEACH YOUR CHILD HOW TO STAY AT THE INITIAL CRIME SCENE (ICS): This is where I come in. Not that you can’t teach your child effective skills to thwart the predator, either before he makes contact or after. It is just that, in my next post, I will suggest a few time proven Kid Escape tactics and strategies designed to frustrate the pervert. Frustrate him, cause him to panic, and hopefully influence him to break off his attack and run like a scared little school girl.
