[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. I recently saw one of the morning shows or online where someone experienced this and they mentioned calling their children to one bedroom while dialing 9-1-1. That was always their safety plan to get the kids into one bedroom. If you keep all of your doors closed, how does that work? [/quote]

I don’t see how sleeping w your bedroom doors closed would make it harder for your kids to get into one bedroom? It takes like .5 seconds to open a door.

My plan (and yes, unfortunately, I have experienced a break in before…middle of the night) is to get everyone in my room which has a locking door, lock the door and dial 9-1-1. While on phone w 9-1-1, push/drag dresser in front of door as extra barrier. When we had a break in, we did all of the above and the police arrived within minutes and the person breaking in was easily caught/subdued so as scary as it was, I think we had the best outcome possible.[/quote]

Op here. I’m so sorry that has happened to you. Reasoning being with the open or closed -  It seems as if having opened doors would allow the children to hear you calling out faster than opening each door depending on the distance between bedrooms, no? [/quote]
