Seeing how sex trafficking is everywhere now, here is a thread of what to do if someone tries to take you
Go limp. It is much easier to spot someone trying to drag a person than someone holding a person up
YELL. I don’t know you. Get off of me. HELP ME!!! Don’t scream, many people hear children/babies screaming and tend to ignore it, so YELL AS LOUD AS YOU CAN
Hit the weak spots. Groin, face, throat. Hit and run and YELL. Start yelling for help. If you’re holding something, throw it at them and run.
Fight back. Use your legs, arms, head, TEETH. Anything.
Always tell someone where you’re going, what your plans are, and when you’re planning on going home. Tell them that if you’re not home or getting a hold of them at a certain time CALL THE POLICE.
Try going places with another person or a group. Be aware of your surroundings. Don’t shove your face in your phone the whole time you’re at the store (or any public place) LOOK AROUND YOU.
If you think a man is following you, go to 2 different isles, any random one and then the tampon isle. If he’s there too, make eye contact and and get a worker and tell them you don’t feel safe.
If you think a woman is following you, pick one isle to go to and then also go to a men’s isle. If she’s there, get a worker and tell them you don’t feel safe! Men and women are both targets
Check up on your friends when they go out. Take the smallest hints seriously. In a time crunch, all someone may be able to send out is “help,” so help them. Call their parents, call whoever they were with last, try to call them, call the police. Just look out for each other
