Awareness Not Fear
Approximately 45 percent of attempted abductions occur when a child is going to and from school or school-related activities"
Most of us don't realize that it happens until its too late just reading what's under each childs name says the most important info how they got tricked! talk to your kids about these different tricks they use..we have no control what others do so it leaves it up to the parents & grandparents and is it safe to walk to school alone ? NO I don't think so but check this lens out and you decide for yourself these happened in different years to prove it has been going for a while but more so now..
Warning warning
In the United States, approximately two out of three students killed outside a school bus are not struck by other vehicles, but by their own bus, and the front of the bus is considered one of the most hazardous areas
Must watch
please watch, it will enpower you with info that can only help our children yes I think awareness is power it helps us be less trusting because now we know that it happens more then we think and it could happen to any of us.

How safe are our children?
There is so many of these true stories that it's overwhelming I have learned something I never knew before we live in a very dangerous world but being afraid is wrong thinking too but Awareness that it does happen keeps our eyes opened and not so trusting which is better then being too trusting We want our kids to walk to school by themselves because they are 'growing up' but its a lousy idea even adults get abducted.. alot..so it's about being safe then sorry..
If there is no other way possible but to walk on their own at least give them something that could help your child IF anyone tried to throw them in the trunk of a car ! once this happens the odds are only 50% chance to save them most of these men that grab little children do the unthinkable yet it is happening everyday and the numbers are going up fast for abducted children going to school and after school is the most dangerous.
It happens to kids so fast they don't know what's happening they never see it coming until too late BUT by knowing what is happening while its happening that's when they need to scream and fight them as much as they can prolonging the trunk is important..sending kids out side to play or to walk to school without this kind of knowledge can only make them a easy target these men look for kids on a routine without parents they look for this chance..
These can only help our children.
The two'The Berenstain Bears Learn About Strangers'
and 'Harry's First Martial Arts Lesson' both together make a perfect gift that can help our child when we are not around help themselves!!
Great gift take both

Watch with your child
let the kids watch these..the two blacked- out videos will show a defense that are worth watching ..also let your older kids read this lens and watch these videos it will help them but they too will want to help watch over their siblings a little more so it will be a win win situation
Is it really this bad?
Hubby sms-ed me yesterday saying that I have to be very careful with the kids when they are out and in school as a girl was kidnapped in front the school in Taman Tunku Jaafar. Apparently that was the 2nd attempt the kidnappers were trying to kidnap kids from that school. A day before the incident, the kidnappers in a kelisa tried to kidnapped a boy, but there were witnesses and they tried to throw stones at the car and the kidnapper speed off without the boy. The next day they came back in a van and managed to kidnap a girl.
When hubby got home from work, he kept telling the kids never to follow anyone except daddy and mummy especially after school.
Our surrounding is no longer safe.

- I like your wonderful thoughts that we should make people aware of the dangers that children facing everyday. Yes I strongly agree with this opinion. As a mother of two beautiful girls, I always taught them on how to keep away from any possible situations that could harm them. In fact as one way of securing their safety, I provided them a program which could help them to ask immediate assistance from professional emergency services. I'm thankful for this great idea and I found the info from a certain website http://safekidzone.com.
