Dont be the next one

The world is so unpredictable today. So many things going on. So many careless people around us. We worry about our own personal problems. But we really need to worry about protecting our children, as a teenager myself, kidnapping is being more common in the world. There are between 12,500 and 25,500 kidnappings a year and only one-tenth of them are reported to the police. And kidnappings ranging 12,500 to 25,500, every 40 seconds in the United States, a child becomes missing or is abducted. Only about one child out of each 10,000 missing children reported to the local police is not found alive. However, about 20 percent of the children reported to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in nonfamily abductions are not found alive. In 80 percent of abductions by strangers, the first contact between the child and the abductor occurs within a quarter mile of the child's home. About 74 percent of the victims of nonfamily child abduction are girls. Seventy-four percent of abducted children who are ultimately murdered are dead within three hours of the abduction. So your action is critical in situations. After finding this all out.. Do you still think you would let your kids go out by themselves or you wanting to walk alone?
-NEVER WALK ALONE
-ALWAYS WALK DURING DAYLIGHT, NEVER IN NIGHTTIME IF YOU HAVE TO, CALL YOUR PARENTS OR A CAB TO TAKE YOU WHERE YOU NEED TO GO
-IF YOU FIND YOURSELF BEING FOLLOWED, GO INTO A PUBLIC PLACE, OR A LIGHTED AREA, AND IF YOU CAN FLAG DOWN A CAR OR AN POLICE OFFICER IT WOULD BE A GREATER CHANCE YOU WILL NOT BE KIDNAPPED.
-BE AWARE OF YOUR SUROUNDINGS. TAKE PRECAUTIONS!
-LOOK AROUND YOU AND SEE WHOS ACTING SUSPICIOUS, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT IF YOU FIND SOMEONE ACTING SUSPICIOUS GO TO A PUBLIC AREA AND CALL YOUR PARENTS OR FIND AN POLICE OFFICER.

Take care of yourself. Dont be the next one.. kidnapped. Or even worse... Murdered!

**Please take this serious. We just had a 12 year old girl go missing in South LaCrosse, I found out when I was at a friends house...And.. I had to walk alone. He/She almost followed me home, until an officer saw me in trouble and pulled over him/her. I was lucky.. I might not be next time if I have to really walk at night. I dont want you to be the next missing one**
