What do you do if they get you in the car?

Scream, shout, and turn the radio volume as high as it goes. Open the windows if you can.

Question

What if you don't have arms strong enough to pull away from them?

Community Answer

Just keep squirming and screaming. Kidnappers HATE attention. They might let you go; if they don't, someone may call the police. Scream for help. A really good thing to scream is "Fire!" That's sure to get attention.

Question

What if somebody in the neighborhood waves or says "Hi"?

Community Answer

If you know them, wave back. If it's a stranger, it's probably best to ignore them.

Question

What if I choke my attacker until he goes unconscious?

Community Answer

If that happens, call the cops. Tell them exactly what happened, including that you choked him. The police will need all that information.

Question

What do you do if they say that your mom or dad told them to pick you up? Is it a lie or a truth?

Community Answer

You can assume they're lying. Your parents would have told you beforehand if they had asked someone to pick you up.

Question

What should I do if a stranger asks my friend and me to help find their dog?

Community Answer

Just say no. If they grab you, scream, bite, and run—do whatever you can to get away. Then, tell your parents or a trusted adult about what happened.
