I think it’s safe to say that our children being abducted by a kidnapper is every parent’s worst nightmare. Yet, we can’t put a protective bubble around our kids and accompany them everywhere we go. But what we CAN do? Is prepare them properly in self-defense and show them how to act if they ARE threatened. Thanks to some great preparation by their parents, four Michigan girls are alive and well today because they knew how to fight back against an attacker.
According to local news station ABC 12, the four girls, ages eleven through fourteen, had walked to a local Speedway convenience store last Friday night to get some drinks. As they left the store, they noticed a man following them, so the girls did as they had been taught and ran to a well-lit location—the Dollar General across the street. But the predator wasn’t deterred. He approached the girls and grabbed the youngest. Her older sister screamed in warning but it was too late.
