Safety Tips for Lady

Nowadays we do hear or read a lot of crimes which targeting the lady or women. From my opinion, the three main reasons women are easy targets for random acts of violence are:

1) Lack of awareness - you need to know where you are and what is around you.

2) Body Language - Keep your head up swing, your arms are straight up.

3) Wrong Place, Wrong Time - Do not go alone in an alley, or drive in a bad neighborhood at night.

Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping, eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc.) DO NOT! The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get into the passenger side, put a gun to your head and say, where you go.AS SOON as you get into your car, lock the doors AND LEAVE.

A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot or parking garage: Be aware: look around you, look in your car on the passenger side floor, and in the back seat. If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims by placing them in their vans while the women who are trying to get into their cars. This is a good reason to park away from large vans.


Watch the car on the driver's side of the vehicle and the passenger side stopped. When a man sits alone in the seat nearest your car, you can go back to the mall, or work, and get a guard / policeman to towalk backout. IT is always better than cure. (Better paranoid than dead.)


Always take the elevator instead of stairs. (Stairwells are horrible places alone and the perfect crime spot to be.) Do not get on an elevator when a spinner is already there. (Of course, bad people does not always look bad.) Do not stand in the back corner of the elevator. Be near the front, from the doors, ready to turn off or on.

Child Safety

	Most people think of their home as a fortress that will keep their children safe and sound. Unfortunately, there are many emergencies that are beyond our control. Just because a child is at home doesn’t necessarily mean they’re safe. That’s why any safety plan has to begin in the home and be discussed with children so you can keep them safe whether you’re there or not.
	Working Families
	As a rule, children shouldn’t be left at home alone. But if you’ve decided your children are old enough to stay home alone, it’s a good idea to walk through a few key safety and security tips, including: Answering the phone: Never let the caller know that you are at home by yourself. Don’t give strangers your address or personal contact information. Give your child a list of people they can speak to. Think about installing an answering machine or caller ID unit so that calls can be screened, and tell your child they should only pick up the phone if it’s someone they know and are allowed to speak to. Keep a list of emergency contact names and numbers near the phone or program them into the phone for faster dialing. If you have a monitored alarm system, explain how it is to be used in an emergency.
	If Someone Tries To Break In
	Call 999 immediately. Call a neighbor or other nearby contact. Run through the door at the opposite end of the house and over to a neighbor’s home. In addition to these tips, it’s wise to find out as much as possible about who your child’s friends are and what activities they’re involved in. Also be aware if your child is having trouble at school or with friends. It’s also smart to write out a list of things for your child to do to keep them busy—and out of trouble—until you get home. If you’re going to be running late, let them know as soon as possible.
	Stranger Danger
	It’s important that your child clearly understands the difference between a friend and a stranger. Friends are people such as police, teachers or relatives. A stranger is someone they do not know. Teach your child to say “No” if they are ever approached by a stranger who asks them to go with them or offers them a gift. f someone ever makes them feel uncomfortable, tell your child they should let a “friend” know about it immediately. Don’t put your child’s name on anything such as their T-shirt, lunch box, school bag or anything else that may be visible and that would let a stranger call them by their name.
	Safety Walk
	A good way to help your child understand the difference between friends and strangers is to take them on a safety walk in your local area. Point out which areas are safe and which are dangerous. And show them where to go if they need help. If it’s possible, introduce them to some “friends” such as police, doctors, trusted storekeepers and your neighbors, and suggest places to go such as a police station or hospital if they ever find themselves in trouble. Remind your children that it’s important to always try to walk with friends and not wander off without telling anyone where they’re going or when they’ll be back. Source: ADT - Home Safety Tips
