In middle school I used to walk home with a friend and many times a work van full of men would pull over and offer us a ride. Once the guys were good looking and my friend wanted to get in but I stood my ground.

When I was 7, an older girl (15, I think) locked me in a closet with her. She blocked the door. She said sexual things to me and I thought she was going to assault me. I backed up against the wall and she came towards me. I pushed past her and got out of the closet. She was laughing. I've never forgotten it.

My mom was so anxious about crime and something bad happening to my sister or me that we were constantly given safety reminders and thought everyone was trying to kidnap us. I don’t think anyone ever actually tried to kidnap me but there were lots of times I thought perhaps a car was following me or someone was looking at me in a way suggesting they were going to do something.

I know one person who was actually kidnapped. She was coming out of the mall and some guy threw her in his van and drugged her. He eventually let her out on some country road. This happened 35 years ago and I still think of it. My mom always insisted we valet park at the mall and I do this when possible to this day.

Funny how you missed the multiple stories of women trapping young kids above your own comment.


Do you think women commit sex crimes against children at the same rate as men? I’m not arguing that women never do, but men do it waaayyyyyyy more.

All straight men are sexual predators. Every last one of them has a dark history. It’s a fact.


Gonna need a citation for that “fact.”

Whenever this topic comes up, it seems most women have had an almost kidnapping type of experience.

Did you experience the same?

As my DD is a teen, and times have changed, I’m wondering if everyone at some point has this type of occurrence happen.


Have been cat-called and verbally harassed, but no, never an attempted kidnapping

You could tell someone who loves you now, today. It's never too late to unburden yourself from holding that inside.

I meant I didn't tell anyone at the time, sorry I was unclear. I never told my family because they were/are dysfunctional and I thought/think they didn't care. I told a therapist 10 years later. I developed ptsd from that and other traumas caused by that boyfriend.

To answer another pps question: we were hanging out at his house and he pulled out handcuffs. He was acting like it was a joke and they were a gag. He said put out your hand. He was abusive and controlling and I complied. I was trapped before I knew what was happening. He left and returned many hours later. I'm not sure how long it was, but it was light when I got there and pitch dark when he released me. I was in a state of shock and unable to speak. No one at home noticed anything. That is how I know they didn't care.

Today, I am well and have a good life. I will always be healing and recovering, but I am content in life.
