That is a parent's worst nightmare. I definitely could kill someone who tried to harm or abduct my children or wife and have no guilt.

Situations like this is what got me started training my daughter in "awareness" when she was very young. She was always told to stay close, and anytime I would catch her trying to wonder off, I'd watch her and let her get far enough away to make the point, and then I would sneak up on her and grab her like I was going to take off with her. She would of course get upset with me, and then I'd tell her, aren't you glad it was just me? Then I would go on to explain to her why I did what I did, and what would happen if she wondered off and somebody meaning to do her harm got ahold of her. Long story short, two things happened... she learned the importance of not wondering off, and she became more aware and harder to sneak up on. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> It's important to be able to protect our family, but it's just as important to teach awareness to our children, because you can't always be there. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

For those with young children I highly recommend the Safe Side DVD put out by John Walsh. Its a great video for younger kids about stranger danger.

This guy needs to go to a special kind of hell.
Unfortunately people can do pretty bad things to kids and get away with it, just look at Casey Anthony.

i dont have kids my self but i have 3 younger brothers that i have had to take care of granted they are now a little older the youngest at 12 but being the older brother i help teach the youngest about what could happen and some tricks to do to where they are unaware of what is going on but it is a good thing to teach them what to do if something like that were to happen and if your kid is interested in gettting into some kung fu classes or anything mma something i say let them do it.
as an officer i know what its like to have people aroound me that have raped children and have abductied kids and it doesnt sit right with me especially when i am the one that has to take off the cuffs to let them out of the jail and let them go free that is the hardest thing about my job is to have to by law let that kind of person out of jail. but like you have said we have to keep it G rated but i know how you feel on this one even though i dont have kids of my own

I am 63 years old and there is no way I can catch a young predator. So I keep a .380 in my pocket and teach my girls to be wary. We can't always be there.
Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

Those who harm children are the worst individuals out there. I would not spare anything in dealing with these low lifes, I will leave it there.
I agree with you on the awareness discussions Rain.
I have done my best to train both of my boys in personal protection measures effective for their size and age. Their Karate instructor has been very helpful in this regard. I spar with them weekly and focus on teaching them the difference between the level of violence one might use on a school yard versus the level of violence to ptotect ones life. Its a difficult thing to communicate to boys who are 9 and 11. I discuss mindset and awareness with them frequenly.
I spar with my wife and run through various drills with her. She has come along way over the past few years.
I will check out that John Walsh dvd.

Nothing, and I mean nothing, stirs up my inner rage like a child predator. I have two little children and this type of thing both scares me and makes me want to go berserker. As an ICU nurse I could keep people like this alive a looooooong time for the suffering. Never be unarmed.

Good point. I was at a knife class a few years ago and one man in his 20s was stuck being "the bad guy" over and over because those of us in our 40s were sucking wind too hard to do it again and again. Keep in mind that this kind of sexual predator is pretty rare. The guy you end up kicking, punching, stabbing and/or shooting in the mall as he tries to run off with your kid is not the usual MO for these guys. They are much more likely to be the live in boyfriend of your kid's friend's mom and he seems like a perfectly nice guy and good with kids.

Condition Orange - especially when out with the kids.
If the courts were just, this would have not happened.
