[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess I'm a weird parent.  I've told my DD to NEVER go with someone willingly, even if they have a weapon, esp if she is someplace where there is a crowd.  She is to fight,scream, run and cause attention.  The thought of someone taking her, then torture,rape, etc etc is too much, and I want her body found.  The potential emotional, psychological scars is too great.  Also, I've ensured Mom, House is no where listed in her phone contacts and she deletes all my text messages. I've told her that even if someone tells her I would be hurt she is to NEVER NEVER go.  I do hope the teen will be fine eventually.[/quote]

You aren't wrong.

Never willingly allow yourself to be taken to a secondary crime scene. Your odds of surviving or of not being hurt drop dramatically.

You said it much more simply than me PP, but that's what I was trying to say.  It's good advice.

And honestly, I don't see the OP of this post as blaming the victim.  MOST PEOPLE would do what they're asked if a weapon is held up to them or they believe they could be hurt/killed.  It's the nature of fear.  But if one CAN remember not to go, it may save a life or prevent a rape or other horror.

In most abduction/assault situations, the first moments are the victim's best chance of escaping.  Do what you can, and don't make it easier by going with the criminal.[/quote]
