WOMENS WEDENESDAY: Avoiding Abductions & Assault w/ Sara Hathaway

Welcome back to the Changing Earth Podcast with author Sarah F. Hathaway and co host Chen Gibson, blending survival fiction and fact to bring you entertaining education that will help you dream, survive, and thrive. And now here's your host Sarah F. Hathaway and Chen Gibson. Hello, and welcome back to the Changing Earth Podcast. I honestly have no idea what episode number we're on. Hey, Jim, what's up? It's up you all. So we've just been racing around like checking with our head cut off because of good to old Prepper Camp there and back and around the world again. And man, it was a fantastically blessed year this year. Amazing, amazing experience on all love. Yep, it was a very good, very good year. Yeah. Weather was you know, in and out goodness. We could have asked for like a little bit better. But nothing it wasn't Yeah was nothing. Uh sure, it's were a big hit. Jesus was ever so present and it was just a great time. You guys got to make it out there. If you haven't been out to Prepper Camp, you are missing out something years because we just have a blast out there every year like Friday, get your tickets, right, yeah, yeah, no, I gotta get on and get my campsite. So we're slowing it down today kind of we're breaking form from our traditional show because I really wanted to present my anti kidnapping, anti abduction, and sexual assault class to y'all. Uh getting ready to be the holiday season was reminding me of that, and it's great content, and I wanted you all to have access to this, and then I wanted everybody to be able to have free access to all the video in the future, so that when you need to come back and review what's going on. I had a lot of requests for it from Prepper Camp to be able to watch my presentation without sitting in the class, being able to go back and review things. So today we won't have any change in Earth news today. It has been wild out there North Carolinas getting hit right now. I looked at the earthquake numbers. Today we have forty three erupting and like forty two showing minor activity. We're up to one hundred and ten volcanoes on our planet. You know, just months ago, twenty nine was a big deal. I have twenty nine erupting was like wow, Okay, crazy, and it seems like every month we're just up and numbers now, which is really insane. H. So we'll see what what becomes of it, you know, a curl, cooler planet whatnot. We've also been in geomagnetic storm for a long time with no apparent reason for that activity, which is not a good sign as well, with pink auroras going crazy, which is very unusual. No CME production yet we're in geostorm situations, so that's also really really concerning. Its eyes wide open, you know. I always tease that it's a race the people versus the planet. What catastrophe is going to happen first? And yeah, the planet is definitely swinging hard right now. So everybody stay vigilant for your area, stay prepared like you are, do all the good stuff that you know how to do. Alrighty, So I'm going to be doing a lot of talking today. I welcome on any kind of questions on the live chat, but also chain feel free to you know, interrupt me and run any kind of questions by me. I'll just try. I didn't check the mail today. Was I supposed to go down and get like duct tape or zipiz? Ye? Know, we're not putting on TV. Okay, no bugs, no duct tape, no zip tizes. Good recorded, So as far as that goes, yeah, uh yeah. The reason why I don't do them live, and I tell everybody this, the reason why I don't do the escapes live every time is because they hurt really bad. That rips all the hair off your arms and usually leaves me pretty good and bruised for a while. So oh, especially when I'm at Harper Camp, I can't do it three days in a row. I mean I could, but you know, for the sake of my body, I don't do it three days in a row. So I have that recorded and we'll go over the once we get there. So I like to just kind of start it out with a video that I put together and it's just really a summary of me and my martial arts experience, so you know, kind of where it's been. I've been training martial arts for a long time. We'll get more into that, but we're gonna go ahead and start out with that video. Starting young this class side. Learning grace in the rest like. In segretary, inside buildings, Changay. In the Victor, a. Freak coming inside as artect, what right down hard on the massic food. But that's spark inside rules for more. Styles that twip to those that break every lesson, no room for fake contegrity holes to sled in pain. Victory come falls again in a case fase burnt so broad through every challenge into the left courtesy guide, spirit unbroken. The warriors pass forever. Spot can look at the claim vecor nothing wild back back to the fires higher as an able claim the victory not. So there we go just a little bit about me and my martial arts experience, all the all the different forms that I've trained and everything. I like to use it as like a tension breaker because this class is pretty difficult, not only to teach, but also the material to go through. And the devil, you know, always tests me every time that I go to teach this class in some way or another, and that's how I know I'm really doing the Lord's work. So I just put the video together to be a you know, a little tension breaker at the beginning, right, I'll get everybody smiling and having fun, all right, So let's go ahead and jump into it again. I'm dealing with technology, so be nice. Sarah's the one man's show wow with ten. But I gotta get you more to do more tech. Yeah yeah, alrighty. So avoiding abduction and sexual assaults this is huge topic in our world today. We have a lot of instances, a lot of really gross things going on these days. So when Rick asked me to teach this class, originally I was like, yeah, let's do it. Let's let's I already teach a lot of it myself defence class. Let's go ahead and do you know, break this material out and make it really its own class. So I grew up a country girl shooting rifles and bows. It was always an athlete. I began training martial arts in two thousand and two with koukol Wan, but I've trained taekwondo, both Moodi Kwan kuki wan style, close quarters commat, Brazilian and Japanese jiu jitsu sports, jiu jitsu MMA. What am I missing? Oh? And now I'm doing crav as well. So just kind of run the gamut on everything, And everybody asked me, you know, what style would you prefer somebody to train? Because I always encourage everybody to get out and train. There's schools everywhere, they get free trials and it's you can see from from the video that I played, you know how much of a family uniter it is for us to all do this together. So I really recommend that you get out to a school you learn to train and do that and make it a family affair. So if you ask me what style now after all these years of training, I would definitely say Crav m A g r A. I always screw up the last word Krav magra. See I told you I always the last word every time. But I would definitely say training crab one hundred percent hands down has been the best style because it goes up, it goes down, so it's stand up fighting, it's on the ground fighting, it's weapons systems, so much self defense involved that it's really brought all my martial arts training together into one place, which I like, I'm very happy. I mean, I wouldn't go back in time and change how I did anything, but I definitely would recommend crav if you're looking for a type of style to do so. Human trafficking is the number one growing enterprise in our country. A child can be traffic thirty to forty times every day for about seven to ten years after the child has been used up. They a lot of times just use them for parts and things like that, which is horrible to even have to say. Like I say, that's why this class is really challenging for me to keep or for me to teach, because it's a lot of difficult information. But this is what's happening in our world, and it's important for us to talk about it because if we leave it in the dark, it's going to forever be there. But if you shine light into the darkness, then we can get rid of it. We can begin to combat the human trafficking that's going on. So when I was in school, everybody told me, hey, you know, slavery's gone, like there's no more bravery, right, And that's what I believed for a long time. And then when I was writing my book series, the Changing Earth series, when I got to book about five, when I was writing Dark Days in Denver, I started researching Tim Ballard, who's behind the Sound of Freedom, and I found out that that's all a big, fat lie, And there's over three hundred thousand people the population of the United States in slavery and our world right now. I was so absolutely sickened when I found this out that I knew I had a platform, knew how I had a voice, and knew I had an opportunity to make a difference in the world. And with all my martial arts skills and everything, I really prayed on it, and God was like, you know, Sarah, I've sent you here to be a warrior, and you're gonna teach my daughters how to defend themselves. So I teach everybody, obviously, but I am. Really focused on women's self defense and also elderly folks because they think that they can't do anything anymore, and that's absolutely a lie. So if you get out in prepper camp, you could come out and take one of my self defense classes. I really recommend it, and then, like I say, get involved in a school in your area right now. So let me see if I can get get this to go full screen again. Okay, So every thirty seconds a child is traffic. That's from the Natural Center for Missing and Exploited Children. There's a lot of great information there. Also, the gentleman that runs the podcast Valued Tainment Valuetainment. Am I read about that? Do you know what I'm saying to mention that one? Oh yeah, he does they used to do long form. Yeah, yeah, and he does a really great show, and he did a really really good show on human trafficking and what's going on, talking about a lot of different cases of individuals you know that they've rescued out of the system. So this is one hundred and fifty billion dollar enterprise as of twenty twenty twenty one and twenty twenty one. These numbers are really difficult to get because they really don't want you to know what's happening out there, but the numbers are growing exponentially. Trump did a great job of shutting down our borders and bringing a lot of these children out into the light during his first presidency and then during the open borders and everything, it was basically, you know, send your children across and then you know, hundreds of thousands of kids missing, and you know, right where they ended up was back to fill the need for this the pornographic entertainment industry and also using them as sex slaves and things like that. So thirty percent increase in child trafficking since COVID nineteen happened. That's from the International Labor Organization. Forty million plus victims worldwide, and then child porn is also increasing exponentially. In the United States is the number one consumer of child pornography, which I found really really sickening. A lot of times it's mothers that are actually selling their own children for the trade, which you know, they're really hard up, they're heard up financially, and they see it as a meal ticket, which you know is absolutely disgusting against our biblical principles. You know, it'd hate to be in your shoes when you have to meet Jesus one day. But this is what's happening in our world. And if we don't stand up and say something, we don't bring this out into the light, then it stays forever in the darkness. So child abduction, luckily, a lot of the children that are abducted that we see the Amber alerts for and things like that are cases of parents, so parents that are taking a child from another parent, that kind of thing. You know, the numbers are way too high for well, for our modern society basically, which is why people are getting more and more panicked about the child trafficking situation. So it's good that a lot of children are actually well, I mean it's not good, but at least they're not being taken, you know, for the trade. Here in the United States, one in seven runaways end up being traffic. So the sooner we can get kids off the streets when they get on the streets, the better. There's big movements for being able to help these children out instead of letting them become the zombie streets that we have in the streets of San Francisco and Philadelphia. I mean, you could just take these people so easily. I wouldn't even you know, if you wanted them. A lot of them. That drug is disgusting that they're doing there. Ninety nine percent of victims are women and girls. Seventy five percent of trafficking victims are used for sex. Eighty percent of miners where ages twelve and above. So twelve years old is the age when we as parents start to go. You know, you're old enough to go do that on your old are your own, You're old enough to go to the store. You're old enough to do these things. On your own. I trust you. Well, that's really great if you trust your child. The problem is there are predators out there everywhere waiting for your child to be alone and waiting for the moment to snatch child. So that's why it's really important that we talk to our children about what's going on. We help them learn self defense and whatnot. We're going to get into that a lot, a lot more here in a minute. Eighty percent of victims are never rescued, okay, and when they are, they need help. They can't just go from being trafficked, you know, thirty to forty times a day and then just pop into a normal life again. So if you want to help out, well, that's really good organizations to help and give money to is the people who are actually funding trying to give these people back lives after they have been trafficked. The typical perpetrator in a stranger abduction is a male aged eighteen to thirty five, unemployed. They usually have alcohol or drug problems. So victims are targeted because of economic hardship. They're runaways, homeless, they have previous abuse in their history that makes them much more likely to be susceptible to being abused and lured in. They have an online presence, We're going to talk about that big time. And then the immigrants and refugees, so we're literally importing children for the sex trade in the United States, I can't even get that word out of my mouth. Hardly one hundred thousand children were missing from the border. That was you know, I put this together a couple of years ago. That numbers up a lot more. We've found out that there's a lot more missing than that. About eighteen tho to twenty thousand slaves are trafficked into the United States every year. And one of the reasons why I really wanted to do this video on the podcast and get this message out there was because the economic hardship is the biggest target. So if you're paying, you're making people pay to listen to my voice or learn self defense that kind of thing, then you're not really helping those people that need that help the most. So that's why I wanted to make this information available free for everybody to get it, get at it if they needed it. So traffic trafficking methods big time. They're offering like employment modeling, acting, singing contracts. So typically they'll be like, hey, we're gonna turn your kid into a rock star, you know, have them show up for this meeting and then they never see them again. There's also a lot of instances where mothers are actually uh, you know, signing their kids up for this that they're gonna be a singer one day, But we just need to use your child, you know, and this way and that way, and then one day they're going to be a famous superstar and you're gonna be all set and it's gonna be all good. So again, uh, we've got to just make sure that everybody's getting informed and that everybody's on the ball as far as that goes, you know, understanding what the and knowing if it's a real opportunity or not people saying things when you're in the right place to do the right thing at the right time, even if you're not that child's parent. Also, debt bondage is a big way that they get these people in. So we're going to bring you across the border, but you now you owe us fifteen thousand dollars. You need to work that off from selling heroin or selling drugs ventanyl, that kind of thing. And then when it comes time to pay the piper, you know that they're already addicted to the drug. They're already on the heroin, they're already trafficking fentanyl. They don't really know where to go from there, so they end up just stuck in the system and then it just gets worse and worse from there. So the debt bondage is really a big deal. Kind of like the indentured servitude we had back in the day, except now you know you're already under the radar, so better to just keep you there. Social media is a huge trafficking playground. Five hundred thousand predators target children daily. The FBI has a whole wing designated to just agents playing twelve year olds on video games to try and catch these perpetrators. It's not enough. It happens all the time, so it's really really important that aus's parents pay attention to what's going on. Thirty three percent of all internet sex crimes occur on social media. Forty eight percent of child kidnapping victims met their captors on social media, so that's why we have to be ever so vigilant. One in four children freely shares their personal information online. Forty percent of kids will actually change their privacy setting from private to public. They'll go ahead and do that on their own, figure out how to do it on their own, and just it doesn't matter what mom and dad say. Eighty nine percent of online child sexual exploitation and occurs in chat rooms like Facebook, Messenger, What's app, WhatsApp, and snapchat and Snapchat you can actually delete it like three minutes after it comes in, so that you know you as a parent, you can't even see what's going on in there on their phone. One in thirty three children will experience being lured into a sexual conversation or a face to face meeting via the Internet. So it's really really important that we are on top of it. We stay involved in what's going on and aware of what our child's doing. So my recommendation to you is that you have the computer in a public area. For example, my son's computer is in my office. That way, I have don't need an excuse to come into that room. I can walk into that room anytime and see what's going on on his computer. He's got to use it with me present. And as far as a phone goes, I didn't get my son a smartphone. I got my son a flip phone because he's got a PlayStation five, he's got a computer, he's got all this stuff. Why would he need a smartphone on top of all of that. So the flip phone, they still figure it out. Don't get me wrong, he's figured out how to how to listen to YouTube, how to you know, play video games, all these things on a flip phone. But at least it's kind of a deterrent there for like the social medias and things like that, and social media. You know, I'm a big advocate of positive cloud seating. Everybody gets on there, there's so mean. Uh they're keyboard warriors saying stuff to people that you would never say to them in person. But everybody thinks that's fine because you're on a computer. So I definitely I don't think that social media is a really great environment to begin with. If you're trying to get a hold of me on social media, I mean, good luck. I'm on there once in a while, and uh probably on x I'm most active if you're trying to get ahold me on social media. But yeah, just don't don't have the tolerance for it anymore, honestly, because I just it's really disappointing how people act there. So your children don't need to be there. They see their buddies all the time. There's pen pals, stuff like that. So I did a show back in the day on I did a lot of human trafficking shows on the Changeing Earth podcast, so you could go and check out. But one of the most influential people in my thought process, and I just love his website was Michael Loftis And you can grab that website off the screen there. But his website is a great resource. It's just full of really great information that you can use to keep your children safe. He was a boxer in Boston and he saw women just getting abused, taking advantage, raped, things like that. Was really worried about the children and whatnot, and so he made it his mission to start teaching them how to defend themselves. This was back in the day before you know, before everything started. Coming out like the eighties, you know, nineties, and so he he his website's great and I would highly recommend it. So don't panic. The web's great for entertainment. For education, you know, just keep that computer in a public room so you can always see what's going on. Ask your children's teacher what type of programs they're using and stuff like that, and then learn it yourself, because I can guarantee you that your child is gonna know more than you know about a computer. They have grown up with them. We've only had them for like twenty years, so they can figure out everything that we think we're so smart on. You know, there are the parental tools. I'm not really a big advocate of using parental tools because you know, prohibition didn't work right, They still made alcohol, they still did all these things. So it's not a big proponent of having all of these protectors. I'd rather talk to my child. I'd rather let them know, be so aware of what's going on and just keep, you know, having the conversations that make him an enlightened, educated individual who can monitor his safety in a responsible way. So monitor the cell phones too. You know, you're allowed to look through their cell phone. There shouldn't be an instance where they're like, nope, I'm not showing you that. Then you know something's wrong. If I walk into my son's room and he pauses the TV real quick, I'm like, are you watching something that you don't want me to see? Because if that's the case, you shouldn't be watching it at all, right, So. Watch out these are areas where kids are really really bullied on social media. Again, they become these keyboard warriors and then limit the amount of personal information you can make them a false ID on there, use an alias, and never never, never reveal too much to strangers. Facebook is especially bad with users information, you know, I guess you can't. You can be a trafficker on there, and they don't have any problems with that, but they have problems with everybody else. So I don't know what's going on there, right, Yeah, it's just incredible. I don't know what the deal is. But they're especially reckless with everybody's personal information. So that's one I would definitely warn people about and using aliases things like that. You can still do it, so you just need like fake emails, that kind of thing. It is a lot a lot more difficult now because they're trying to make sure they know who everybody is and whatnot. But I don't know. I think it's just a grooming grooming site, so watch for adult predators. Children can be groomed online. There are games that are literally grooming children online. The YouTube algorithms for children are not always the most wholesome content, even though they're labeled for children, So just be aware of what's going on. This is where a lot of adult perverts go to try and find your children and then again, be realistic. You know, prohibition didn't work. Children are gonna figure out computers. They're gonna figure out how this stuff works. They're gonna know better than you because they've been on it their whole life. So if you're not having the conversations at the dinner table, you're not talking to them about what's important and the threats that are out there, then you're really missing an opportunity to protect your child. So I am an ex generation child. And when I was young, my mom threw me out the door and she said, go pick mushrooms on the highway, and I don't want to see you until it's dark. And we played outside all day and she'd put a big thing kool aid out there, and you know, we would just be going crazy doing pretty much what ever we wanted to do. So we were at a free range parent right and then we kind of went backwards. We went to the extreme other end because we were all so scared about what's going on. We became helicopter parents. We raised a great, big generation of wooses who can't do anything for themselves because mom and dad have already been always been there. They're coming into job interviews with them these kind of things, and so that we found out was not really the best style of parenting either, because you know, your children don't know how to stand on their own two feet. So the safe rage kids is really where it's at. This is like being a lifeguard at the pool. You're not in the water swimming with them every step of the way, but you are there observing. You're on the outskirts listening, You're you know, available if they need you, but you're not sitting there hovering over them every second of every minute, you know. So we had six teenage boys in our house for my son's birthday and it was a crazy time. So you know, I was here, but I want them sitting right there with them. Man, they're nuts. So when my son wants to go to a friend's house something like that, we do have people in the neighborhood by us. You know, I'll watch him. He doesn't know I'm watching him, but I'll still watch him. And then he understands why it's so important to check back in with me when he gets there and also before he's going to leave. So I know what the time frame looks like. And I'm right on that as a parent, you know, being aware of my kids out on the street by himself. This is when I need to be attent of. So definitely the safe range kids and you know, not being the helicopter parent, but we go on are the days when we can just send them out the door. So abduction and kidnapping trafficking methods. If you there's a myth out there that says like, if you tell your kids about this, they're just gonna be scared of the whole world and they're never gonna want to go anywhere and they're gonna be completely panicked and freaked out. Well, that's absolutely wrong. Your children need to know what is out there. They need to know why you are setting the bounds and whatnot that you are. If you just set up rules with no explanation, they're not gonna care. They're not gonna listen to you, and all you're gonna be is a monster. That's what they're gonna think. So you need to talk to that. There's been plenty of times when I'm practicing techniques and self defense with my son that you know, I make him really do it. I've had instructors pin me to the ground by my neck so hard, and you know, that hurt for three days after, right, But if you're never in the experience of like, this is what it's really gonna be like, and this is how you're really gonna have the fight and move, then you never know what to expect when you're there. So being soft and. Oh my god, they're crying, I need to you know, stop. No, they need to experience that cognitive dissonance in their head where they have to power through that, because when they're in the moment, it's going to be even worse. So all you're doing is setting them up for success in the long run by having them practice, by talking to them about it, so that they have an understanding of what is out there. And you're not just a freaked out mom. You are a freaked out mom, but that's because your life would be devastated without them. So kids won't panic if you tell them the realities of what's out there. And what's out there doesn't have to come from bad people with bad intentions. Okay, for me, I had a personal experience when I was younger with a close family member and he had assaulted other people in my family as well, And because nobody wanted to talk about that and nobody wanted me to be scared or anything. Nobody talked to me about it, and it left me completely vulnerable to then for him to continue this chain of abuse and nothing happened. You know, my younger cousin. Knew what was up and made sure she was present to come down and stop the situation from escalating any further. But the silence was the killer, because if I would have known, I would have never been in that situation. But because nobody talked to me, that left me vulnerable in that situation. And so don't do that. Also, kids do dumb things. They're just kids. They don't have experience, they don't have a reference base to really call from. So more than twelve thousand children die each year from playing, another nine million or hospital just because they were playing in an un supervised environment or in a supervised environment. You know, stuff still happens when children grow up without guidance. Two point four million of them end up in prison and another one hundred and seventy thousand, and that number is on the rise because a fentanyl die of drug overdoses. So you know, be aware, talk to them, talk to them, if you give them your life experiences, it's going to be all the better, I guarantee it. So we tell our kids never talk to strangers, and up here this slide is a whole bunch of different things that people might say to your child. The thing is, oh no, that's my ex side. Sorry, So is talk to never talk to strangers always applicable? No, Okay. What they need to know is to not be lured away from where they're supposed to be. If you're supposed to be at the slide, don't let anybody lure you away from that space. Okay. There are all kinds of people out there, and some are nice and some aren't. And never talking to strangers is not something that you want your child to do. However, do not be lured away. If for some idiotic reason, you are not available for your children, then I usually recommend that your child goes to a woman who has children. However, the scammers are everywhere, and the scammers are getting smarter, and the scammers, you know, do everything. I've seen a video just the day other day of one guy who pulls up to a goal and a little kid and says, hey, you know your mom asked me to come pick you up. Come get in the car and she's like, I don't think so, I don't think so. And then another car pulls up and she it's a female, and she's like, hey. What are you doing? What do you do? Guy? You can't take her away? Come with me, honey, come with me. Right. Well, this other guy was a standby and he's like, I watched this kid walk home every day from school. Neither of you have anything to do with this child. And it turns out that they were both in cahoots to abduct this child. So they were literally playing this huge game of you know, we're gonna make her feel this way, get her into your car instead. So the women are figuring out that they can abduct children. They'll have a couple of children with them, and then they just add one more into the group and that way it looks normal. So everything is in constant flux. This is why we have to talk to our kids. But then here on my side is some of the things that people could say to lure your child away. Of course, like the puppy thing and all that, and I was like, ah, my kids would never fall for that. But if you look, there's the one that says a man with him his arm in a sling and a load of books asking for help. This would be a killer for my kids. You know, he's got his arm slung up. Hey, come over here, I just need you to help me get this out of the trunk. My kids are so helpful, so nicely be like, yes, sir, or here we come to save the day and help you out. Right. Well, that's just what they need to get lured away. So unfortunately I had to have that conversation with my child. As you know, make sure you have an adult there. Make sure you have your older brother or something like that, so that when you're helping that person out, you know you're not just gonna get stuffed in a trunk. Now, there's also the police impersonators that are scary, and I've also heard of police cars lately, so I don't know. They're like, if you're getting pulled over, you need a very you know, back road, you need to verify it's a real police car. This is happening in our world, and it's crazy, and I just need to give you the heads up that these type of things are happening, because a lot of people have never ever heard of stuff like this happening. And you want to believe the stories that I hear from individuals after I get done teaching this class, and personal experiences they've had which are really, really scary. So we're coming into the holiday season, a lot of people are gonna be out shopping. It's just you know, you're crazy focused on the holiday mayhem, and your situational awareness might be dipping this time of year a little bit because you're just focused on I got an answer, now, who's president? Am I getting? How much money I got left? That kind of thing. So parking lots are a huge, huge, huge risk area. Okay, children and women should never ever have headphones on and their cell phones in their hands when walking from a store to a vehicle. There's a story that my martial arts teacher just told me about this family. They're down at the Houston in Chick fil A. There's like six lines of traffic, you know, twelve workers out there trying to get everybody's order and everything, just mayhem going on. This couple gets out of their car, unloads their three kids, hands them all an iPad, and they go through all of that traffic staring in an iPad. I mean, you can't do that. You cannot do that. The other really, really sad example that we have of this is the gal from Ukraine that was on the bus. She came on the bus earbuds in, staring at her phone the whole time. She hardly even looked at the guy behind her. And you just cannot let your situational awareness slip that hard because it leaves you completely vulnerable for that gal. You know, I know it's weird and I know it's awkward, but like if you have to ride public transit and you have to sit in front of somebody, that's the only seat available, because typically you want to sit at the back where you can see everything that's happening in front of you. That goes for a restaurant, that goes for a bus, anything like that. But if you can't, then you'd want to sit so your back was against that bus wall and you could see to the back and the front, you know, kind of in a cock eyed state, like with your back that way, so you can see both directions. Right, That's the only way to ensure that you're aware of what's going on all the way around you. Okay, so dangers all around in these parking lots, that's why you should never have your head in your cell phone. You need your head on a swivel. And you need to have some type of so attack pen. They're metal pens or great, you can use it like that's what you use for your grocery list. I use a window breaker on my keys. They are not legal in all states, so you need to check and make sure that it's legal in your state for you to carry one. But I use that a key work so you can keep that key in your hand. I'm not a big proponent of pepper spray, and why am I not a big proponent of pepper spray? So pepper stray spray. Most people buy it, They never ever practice with it. They probably don't even know that there's a clip on there that makes it so you can't spray it so that you don't accidentally spray it all over the bottom of your purse where it usually lives. So you need to have access to your weapon within three seconds. That's all you have. So I carry a beautiful knife that my co host Chin gave to me. I carry my Monrovia on my hip. It is three seconds available. I have the window breaker in my hand. It is three seconds available. I literally have my techpen in my bag as. Well, and then you know, if things escalated. I also have my firearm, but that once somebody's in that close, I'm not pulling a firearm once they're that close. If you take your firearm out, they can take it away from you and use it against you, and that's just not something I'm ever gonna let happen. So I would default to a knife or a stabbing tool in lieu of the pepper spray. Also, I live in Texas. I don't care if you spray spray or you spray yell. If you spray that the wrong way, it's coming right back at you, Okay. So I'm just not a big fan of it. You do you. You make your own decisions. I am not you. You decide what's right for you. If you are gonna do pepper spray, please make sure you buy two and practice with one. Okay, make sure it's readily available and not sitting at the bottom of your purse. I'm also not a big fan of tasers or anything like that, anything that has to be charged. I don't have the discipline to make sure that every night it's charged before I decide to go out. Somewhere, and I'm really doubting that anybody else does. Plus they're pretty fragile, and so to have them sitting at the bottom of your purse is usually not a good idea. And that's usually where the self defense tools go because you don't need them. Also, a car alarm is not sufficient. How many people when we hear a car alarm these days go hark, trouble is afoot. We need to run out there. And see what's going on with that vehicle. No nobody cares. They're like, whose car alarm is going off? Will somebody please shut that stupid thing off? Right? So the car alarm's not sufficient. They sell noise makers at Amazon that make a entirely different sound that can go on a backpack. They're like a whoa woo woo, right they are. They're really annoying. Also, they sell these little whistles that I have for free at prepper camp. Every time I'm there. There are just little survival whistles. Man, they make a ton of noise. I give them to all the kids there. Everybody loves me. But they're also great when you're hiking, right, you could get lost or whatever, And what a great tool to have on you to make a really loud whistle, So don't rely upon your car alarm and is not going to be sufficient. So if you are approached by somebody in a parking lot, and definitely teach your children this one hundred percent. You never ever ever go to a secondary location. So wherever the incident happens, wherever they're approaching you, that's the primary location. If they put you in a vehicle and take you someplace else, that is the secondary location. Okay, you cannot ever go to a secondary location. I've met one person that ended up at a secondary location and actually survived one out of a lot of people. So disrupt the kidnapper's ability to drive the vehicle. Once you're in it. You can just start kicking them. You can pull that steering wheel, you can shut it down, whatever you can do to crash that car. Before you get out of a parking lot. Great could run. Around the vehicle round and around in circles. I don't also don't recommend yelling help police because most people just get out their cell phones and start recording unfortunately these days. So I would yell fire, I would yell the B O M B word, you know, whatever, But those are going to be preferable over yelling like help police, help police, because people just are just don't these days, so they're going to start recording instead of helping you. Blaring the horn, yelling, screaming, whatever they can do to create as much attention as possible as what they need to do in that moment to get that guy spooked so that they get the heck out of there, or that. Girl grabbing the steering wheel. Put your back to it. Michael Loftus's website has a ton of great exercises you can practice with your children to get them more familiar with how to do this. Jump out the door. If you can jump out the door when it's not moving or moving very slowly, great, do that disrupt whatever they have going disrupt it. If you're a back seat passenger, you can kick the seat in front of you, and most vehicles these days, if you're putting the trunk, there's a way to get those seats down so you can get through there. Very challenging if your hands are tied or whatever, but man, whatever you gotta do to create that. You know that tension that the human beings always choose the path of least resistance. So if there is a big thing of blackberries and a trail, you're going to choose the trail. You're not going to go through the blackberries. So humans always choose the passive path of least resistance. So if you can be the most resistant thing that they have ever encountered, they are going to give it up and they're going to go find somebody else. The other thing that I've been told a lot about that's happening is vehicles are. Actually getting marked for future adduction. So they're marking the back passenger side window with a little sticker or a string, that kind of thing. So always check your vehicle out and make sure that there's nothing that you don't identify on there, like that you didn't put on there. Because I've heard this from multiple people and multiple cities now that vehicles are actually being marked as victims so that they can come back and get that person later or center in on them when the time is more appropriate. So definitely be aware of what is on your vehicle and that kind of thing. So the minute you put a backpack on and you put that bag on your back, you now have a handle on your back, right, so you put on a backpack, and now you have a handle behind you. That's a perfect handle to abduct a kid with. And a lot of times the kids like, oh my gosh, my mom or dad would kill me if I lost my backpack, right, And they're so concerned about their backpack that they won't let it go. Let sure your kid knows you do not care about that backpack at all. You care about them and their safety. And if somebody grabs you by it, you swoop your arms backwards and you let that thing rip. You just unbuckle and let it go. Same thing with a jacket. And also a hoodie is the same way. A hoodie is more difficult to get out of. But you better be yelling, you better be screaming, because that is your moment. If you go to the secondary location, you're in big trouble. I would never ever, ever, ever, ever, ever ever teach someone that you should always defend against a firearm, that you should be more concerned about a secondary location than you should about a firearm. But I'm telling you what, if. They're willing to shoot you there in a parking lot, then imagine what they're willing to do in a secondary location. Okay, so the choice is yours. You do what you think is right in the appropriate situation. I'm never going to tell you either way, but I'm telling you that if somebody holds a gun to me in a parking lot, I'm going to do whatever I can to make sure that I don't go to a secondary location. And if that means I get shot, then that means I get shot because I'm not going to that secondary location. So the kids can climb under cars, they can go out and around, pull fire alarms. Great idea, right, And then this is one of Rick's favorite. If you are in an out unwelcome sexual encounter, men's members are hold on by curtilage. It's the same as an ear, so you can literally grab a hold of that thing and rip it off. I mean, it's it's gross and it's horrible to say, but man, they're the ones who put you in that position, so you gotta do what you gotta do in those moments. So how are the trafficking methods? One in five girls, one in ten boys will be sexually victimized before adulthood. One in five girls. That that is, it's a horrible statistic. And then one in ten boys right, so they have to understand what's appropriate and what's not. Juvenile sexifie account for twenty five point eight percent of all juveniles or of all sex offenders, so twenty five almost twenty six percent of all sex offenders are juveniles doing it. So be aware of the threat of older children. Is your kid hanging out with somebody who has an older sibling, what's the older sibling like. You know, that kid that your kids hanging out with might be great, but the older sibling might be doing all kinds of bad stuff and have really not appropriate friends, so they might befriend other kids to lure them in. Ninety six percent of juvenile sex offenders are targeting other juveniles, and ninety percent of juvenile sex offenders commit forcible sex offenses. That means your child is not choosing to do the wrong thing, they are being forced to do the wrong thing. And then twelve point eight percent involve multiple incidents, So we're not taking care of the problem. They're going back on the street. Your child's going to meet them. As of February twenty twenty three, there's over seven hundred and eighty six thousand people on the US sex offenders Registry. Some states publicly display this information where they live and some don't, So you need to be aware they're out there. Uh, they can be anywhere. Three percent in year over year increase since twenty nineteen, three percent increase every single year, not just three percent since then three percent every single year two hundred and thirty seven sex offenders per one hundred thousand residents. So they are out there. There are your neighbors. And then twenty nine point six are distributing, manufacturing, or possessing child pornography. It is on the rise. Yeah, I know it's disgusting. It's on the rise, and unfortunately, the United States is the number one consumer of this material. So we have a problem with our value system that needs to be fixed, and we need to understand that children are off the table sexually. This is no. This is no. And I had the question about like, well, AI kind of curtail this, and I don't know either way, it's it's not appropriate. Often sexual abusers know the victim well. So that's why I bring up the story about my uncle, because often you do know the victim well or the assailant well. So it's important to talk to your children about you know, your gym teacher might walk through the locker room while you're changing. That's fine, but your gym teacher is not allowed to touch you inappropriately. Your martial arts instructor is not allowed to touch you inappropriately. Right, this should be all on the up and up. Thirty one or thirty four point one percent of victims are registered sex offenders under twelve years old of victims, so all right, let's go back. All right, So let's get into some dating tips for women, because we've got all kinds of women out there still trying to find a spouse in this marketplace, and man, it's just it's just a crazy world. So when you're going on a date, gone are the days of I'll come pick you up and take you to the restaurant. This is not happening anymore. You drive yourself to the date, you have an uber take you to the date, or you have a friend take you to the date, not the man. Okay, if you're going out hiking in Yosemite, you're not going to go out in the forest without telling somebody where you're going, what that looks like, what time you should have arrived home. So same with when you're going out a date you have a bit. I'm always a big proponent of a battle buddy, So have a battle buddy with you in double date if possible, and especially if it's your first date. Or let friends and family members know your plan what that looks like. And don't just let them know your plan when you're out on this date with this guy for the first time. Right, call them while you're on the date so they can hear your voice saying, hey, Sally, Jane, I am going to be home about eight o'clock and I will see you then, right, And that way the person knows you have somebody waiting on you to be someplace at a specific time. You can always change plans later, but this is a really good way to give them the heads up that you have somebody out there waiting for you. If you plan on drinking, always have a pre planned way to get home. We've got ubers, we got all these things. So of course you don't want to drink and drive. But drinking and drugs also leaves you very, very vulnerable from for sexual assault. So never ever drink from a communal jug. Okay, we're always drinking a drink that's been delivered to us. And we can open it ourself. Of course, you can rub drugs on the edge of the drink, so you have to be sure that you're cleaning the edge off those kind of things. Even balloons could be a source of a day break drug, so you always want to make sure you're opening your own drink. They have all kinds of cool coasters, nail polished cups, personal drink devices now that you can use to tell if that drink has been drugged or not. I really recommend you have something like that, the battle buddy, of course, you know, and then all the different methods of drugs that they're using these days. So one of the stories that I heard after a class that I taught, which was a horrific story, was a story about a gal who went to a pool party by herself, and she couldn't remember the pool party when she got home, and she started talking to her dad about how she couldn't remember the pool party once she got home, and so dad said, well, let's take you down to the hospital because you know, something's up here. They found out that she had been injected with the drug literally a needle in the back of her arm when she arrived at the pool party. So it's not just on the drinks anymore. They're getting more and more crafty. They just want to deliver the drug gets you in the position they want you to be in for that event, and so you have to be ever so vigilant. That's why I recommend the battle buddy. Always, always, always, always, always go home immediately. If you're feeling confused, intoxicated, if your intuition feels off, anything like that, You're always allowed to leave. You're always allowed to stop any sexual activity at any point. There's no rule that says just because you got to get just because you got naked, you got to go through the whole thing now, Okay, You're allowed to leave whenever you want. If you're still at the bar and you're not feeling good, you don't feel comfortable, you don't feel safe, order an angel shot. This is a code word for I need help. And if the bartender goes, I don't know how to make an angel shot? What's that? Tell that bartender to google it. Okay, yeah, because as soon as you google it, you're gonna find out what the angel shot is. And they will find out what the angel shot is and try to do it. When you're not you know, with that individual, let them know, Hey, you gotta go to the bathroom or something. You stop by and talk to the bartender on the way. It's a nice, down low like peaceable way to be able to get out of this. So now everybody asks me a class, is there a hand signal? Like I've seen hand signals from people that were in compromised situation that they use to alert people that they were in trouble and needed help. I haven't found a universal one like the angel shot is universal. Well, I haven't found a universal hand signal collect signal to somebody that you're not doing well. I have seen a lot of cases where a woman's out jogging or whatever by herself, she realizes she's being stalked, and she finds one of our beloved sheep dogs, you know, a gentleman who's. Standing around, and strike up a conversation. Hey, I'm so glad we met up here today. I haven't seen you in so long. A lot of times they will become aware of what's going on and help you out. Now again, they're starting to buddy up because they see these They they watch YouTube videos too, right, they see what's happening, So always be ever so vigilant, and I would recommend a battle buddy, especially if we're going running and stuff like that. But or go run in the gym where it's safer. But uh, that is some of the examples I've seen of good people helping out other good people when they're in bad circumstances. So how do they control their victims? They control their victims with threats and intimidation. You know, we're gonna kill your family. We're gonna kill your children, this kind of thing if you don't. Do what we want. Isolation, so they you away from your family members. They don't want you to be with your friends that you usually hang out with. That kind of deal, so that they can emotionally manipulate you. Which is the next one on the list. Drug addictions. You get addicted to the wrong thing. Now they got you where they want you. We can offer you this that as long as you do what we want. You to do. And dehumanization and this is like nobody really loves you anyway, nobody wants you around. What else are you going to be good for? Right? You know, hear you're valued out there? Who cares about you? If you're taken prisoner, you can develop Stockholm effect lot faster than you think. There was a famous bank robbery where the people that were held hostage were like, oh, well, he was just trying to feed his family and blah blah blah, and it was like three hours into that and they were already feeling guilty for this person. Because humans thrive on compassion. So some people in this world are psychopaths and they literally were not born with the ability to have the compassion right and I always the amygdala, it doesn't regulate their compassion properly, and it is a physical problem within this individual. But we are breeding sociopaths in our cities. The brain is only wired for about one hundred and ten a tribe of about one hundred and ten people. Once you go over that one hundred and ten people, you're now into I don't care about you. You're just another face in the crowd. You're just another person. You're just another face, another body another And in our cities where there's millions of people and you're just inundated with it all day long, we are breeding sociopaths. They are being bred to not be compassionate because their ancient brain is just overwhelmed with the side of their tribe. And that is why nobody helped that gal on the bus in Ukraine because or uh and that bus. That gal from Ukraine that was stabbed on the bus, that's why nobody helped her, because she wasn't part of their tribe. Everybody figures, you know, somebody else come along. When you break down in a rural area, you're more likely to receive help than if you break down in the city, because everybody thinks somebody else will come along, not my monkey, not my circus. Right, Well, our cities are making these sociopaths and it's a really big problem. So I don't know the solution there, but I do know there's a problem that exists there. And I heard somebody say, well, the solution is Jesus, and I pray that that is the answer. But you know, that's that's all I got for you there. We need to do something about it, though. So if you're taking prisoner, hopelessness is your greatest source of danger. You need to be quietly planning to escape all the time. Try to befriend them, cooperate enough that you can start pushing your bounds. Appeal to their combation. How far will they let you stray? And be stubbornly hopeful. So there was a guy in World War two and I always forget his name, and it begins with an F. And I even had somebody. Nail it at prepper camp. But he was Polish and they killed his family and they burned out his home and he didn't have a job anymore. They took him to the Russian prison camp and they beat him and tortured him, and he came out and he survived, and he was all right, and he was actually really well rounded. And they were like, how did you make it through all that? I mean that you've had your whole life devastated. And he said, you know, they can take my family, and they can take my home, they can take my job, but they can't take my spirit away. And that's what we got to remember. If you're ever in a situation like that, you just have to be stubbornly hopeful that you're gonna make it home right, all right. The bottom line is if you're gonna go wow, you might as well go out fighting. You need to fight for your life with a mad dog mindset. It is ninety percent your mind and your will and ten percent skill. It's all about your attitude. So learn the basic self defense moves, practice them until you exude confidence like nobody's business. And just know, if anybody were come up to try to make you a victim, you are going to blind, deafen, main kill because your life depends on it and your life is absolutely valuable one hundred percent every one of God's children, right, We're all here for a reason. Hopefully it's to work together for a better future. So how can you help with this situation? Start at home if you want to make a difference in the world, make your bed in the morning, meaning make sure you start at home. Talk about human trafficking. We can't keep pushing this under the rug like it doesn't exist. We have to talk about it and we have to put it out in the open, and we have to teach people's skills on how to get around it. Fathers need to be involved as a positive role model in their daughter's life so they have a clear example of how men should behave. We need our fathers, we need good fathers. We need sheep dogs. These are the men that are willing to stand against the evil, because without the sheep dogs, the wolves take over, and little young men need to see how dad treats a woman properly, and that man should be treating that woman properly, and that woman should be showing the respect to the man as well. It's a mutual respect. I've been married for a lot of years now, twenty seven, I'm at years married and I'm you know, I'm not cooking cleaning kind of gal like. We don't have really a traditional construct. What we do have is teamwork and mutual respect one hundred percent of the time. And I respect him for being that man who has been just the most wonderful father that I can imagine, just such a role model to his sons on how to treat that woman with respect so that when they get older, they know how to be treated with respect and what respect and return looks like for them so they don't get walked all over as well. We're really off kilter as far as it goes everybody kind of bashing the male role models and masculinity. That is so not true. There are protectors, there are providers, and we need them one hundred percent present in our child's life. So that's kind of my rant that I do on just how important fathers are to our family structures. Mothers, you need to be present. We usually are like the first line of oh no, Mom, this happened, I got to talk to dad about it or whatever. You know, be present, be that loving person. Your your child is not your meal ticket. So don't for one minute believe that your child is your meal ticket and then talk about it at the dinner table. Brainstorm with them, run possible scenarios, and give them tools on how they should react. Right. The key is love, education, and knowledge to be able to get past this. So how can you tell if somebody is being trafficked? Random strangers make all the difference in the lives of these children that are literally living in hell? Okay, So there was a bus driver who saw mom dropping the kid off on her own to go with this dude, right, and the bus driver said something and the hell ended for that child. And that was from her own mother. So yes, there's times when you want to be socially appropriate and maybe not call things out, but if you see something weird, you need to say something about this one because if we don't, then that child is going to be condemned to that life. Also, there was a flight attendant. They have flight attendant training now and flight attendant programs where they're just training flight attendants to be able to recognize when a child's being trafficked. This woman noticed that this child was very, very uneasy. Things weren't good, and so she said something and saved this child from this guy. So a couple of great examples. You know how how people doing the right thing at the right time really made a difference. So look for somebody who has lack of control of their own documents, money, or their schedule right, so there'd be kind of ladder around by somebody else. Physical indicators include signs of physical abuse, male nourishment, poor hygiene, those kind of things. They usually walk around pretty afraid of what's going on, with a lot of anxiety, depression, some missive behavior. They don't want to look you in the eye, and they're unable to speak for themselves. So you ask them a question and somebody else is answered for them. If you do get the opportunity to speak with them. A lot of times they've been told what to say. They have a scripted conversation that they're supposed to have, and so you ask them, where are you from? What was your mom's name, just a series of questions, and then revisit some of the same questions where did you say you were from? Again? And see if they're messing up when you revisit the same questions. See if they're giving you different answers, See if they're thinking a little too hard about where am I from? What was you know? What was I supposed to say? Those are all really good indicators that somebody's being trafficked. Working in living conditions, so sometimes they're living right where they're working. It's a red flag. Although you know, we do have instances where people live and work at the same spot. So if you are a human trafficking victim, or you know with somebody who could be a human trafficking victim, we do have a national hotline for human trafficking. I play the commercial during my audio drama every single episode because I don't I do understand why we don't have this commercial on TV because a lot of our elites are wrapped up into the pedophilia and whatnot, But we should have this commercial on our TVs all the time. You know, we're watching all these pill commercials and all this stuff, and we're not even seeing that you know, there's there's real things you can do to prevent human trafficking. We have the phone line, we have the text line. You can call it anonymously. You know, you can just text and then the law enforcement is going to be alerted to what's going on and you could be saved in that life. So if you see something in this case, say something. Okay. So now I'm gonna show you some of the escapes that you can use to get out of situations. The first one that we're gonna do is getting out of zip ties. So hold on one second. When I get this cued up, Like I say. I am, I'm dealing with a lot of technology tonight, So you all just gotta give me a give me a pass on that one. I'm usually on a stage. Okay. So I did not edit this video. And there's a reason I didn't edit this video. And it's long, it's gonna take us a while to get through. And I didn't edit this video for a reason. It's because this is challenging, right, this is hard to do. So I wanted you to understand that. I didn't want you to think like, oh, well, Sarah got out of it three seconds. So I should be able to get out of this super easy, right. So what I'm doing right now is I untied my shoelaces. You can replace your shoelaces with Paracord's a great idea. If they're really stout shoelaces, like ones for boots and whatnot, usually those will work. I mean even if they're not. I would try it even if I had to. But I have a pair of sneakers that don't have shoelaces, so I would not have something from my feet that I could use. And I can still use this method. So they make really pretty paracord you can put in a head wraps on your daughter. They could make a cool little necklace. I do worn against the bracelets and the necklaces though, because if you've ever had paracord like in a bracelet for ten years and you try to take that thing apart, it's really hard to do. It's really stiff and really hard to get apart. Okay, So I am putting the para cord through the bottom of my hands on the bottom and I just got it through. I pulled it through with my mouth so that I can tie my shoelaces together in a knot again. My hands are really tight. Whenever we do stuff like this, my husband just thinks it needs to be the tightest we've ever done it before. And yeah, he makes hard things so tight. That's why I can't do this day after day, you know, of doing an example. So I'm tying the shoelaces together and teasing him, and then I'm gonna work my legs like I'm doing the bicycles. See, the para cord is connected underneath my hands, and I'm creating friction on that zip tie as the same time I'm pulling my hands apart. Friction will break any zip ties, no matter how big they are. But they do have the really big ones now, so they would be really challenging. But guess what, your life is worth it one worth it, So whatever you gotta do, you do it all right. The next one I'm gonna show you is escaping duct tape. So again, my husband likes to put it on really tight, and uh, get me all taped up here now. The one thing I will say is see how I extended my arms out really straight, so my elbows are almost together. When somebody's trying to put duct tape on, you don't do that see on them. Boop, you're out. Okay, I'm gonna show you that one again, but uh oh boy, I gotta get off of that picture. That looks horrible. I'll see it like, ah, that's ugly. I like got cross eyed and everything. I think. Okay, So with the duct tape, see how I put my arms out really straight like this. Don't do that. Try to keep your elbows open as much as they'll allow you to keep your elbows open. That's just gonna help you out in the long run. When I get taped up, I'm gonna drive my elbows into my hips as hard as I can. We've done thick tape. We've done lots of circles of tape. We've done few tape. I've gotten out of all of them. Let me show you the video one more time so you can see my elbows are pretty together. That would be a bad move. Don't do that. Don't make it easy on your perpetrator to do something like that. And then uh we put the tape around and then watch my elbows. You're gonna see how I just drive them into my hips. Right. Watch the elbows open, hands bam into the hips. Boop, it breaks right, open, okay, So it's really easy until it's not. So as times, Yeah, if the tape's like rolled right, it doesn't go on flat, it's like rolled up or That's the biggest thing I've found, honestly, is like when it's crinkly, it's harder to get through. So it's really easy until it's not. But as you're driving your elbows over it, over it over again, because you are not going to be a victim and you're not gonna get stuck in that situation, it creates sweat, which is beautiful because no duct tape can stand up to sweat. It also gives you that stretch stretch stretch moment where the duct tape is stretching and then you can literally undo it from your hands, so typically works. Again, friction will break duct tape. So if you could rub your arms on a belt something like that. Again, whatever you gotta do, all right. The last one that I'm gonna show you is how to get out of handcuffs. So they do make handcuffs that are clear on one side, so you can learn to pick them. You can pick them with a paper clip. It works really well, but I found an easier method and I'm gonna explain to you why I'm not such a fan of the picking and a moment. But let me just show you what's going on here. So I have the handcuffs on. These are called ASP handcuffs ASP right, they're very good handcuffs and expensive ones. So I'm putting the brad in between the teeth there. You can use any little piece of metal, but you put it in between the teeth and then you push a little bit tighter. Let me get it in there. See, it's not always easy. Sometimes you gotta play with it. You've only got you know, so many hands, and sometimes you gotta fiddle with it. But once you get it slid in between the teeth and that mechanism, bam, you can open it right up and you can use a piece of like a soda can bobby pin is kind of big. I've tried, Like if you file it down, you can do it. You really need like a flat metal, so honestly, like the soda can would be better. Here, I'll show it to you one more time. So picking the handcuffs and getting out of the handcuffs is easy until it's not. And why isn't it always so easy? Sarah, you just showed us it was so easy. Well, with handcuffs, and specifically with good handcuffs like these ones. They don't always do it, but specifically with good handcuffs like these ones, they do a double lock. So the police like the double lock, because I'm not saying you should ever try to pick locks if the police have you in handcuffs, Okay, so don't do that. This is only for if it's bad guys. So the police use the double locking mechanism so that the handcuff can't tighten around your wrist and get really really painful, the blood supply off to your rest, that kind of thing. Some perpetrators are also going to use those same types of cuffs, right, So once they're double locked, you can't get them back, you can't push them in anymore. They're done. And you can buy the double lock ones that have the clear face, so you can learn to pick that absolutely, And I keep a paper clip on the. Back of my hat just for that reason. You can definitely learn to pick up. However, at Amazon they sell universal handcuff keys and they sell them for about five bucks for like ten of them. So what I did was I have my universal handcuff key clipped into my hat, So all I have to do is knock my hat backwards and grab it in my hands. And I have a handcuff key. It's much easier to just use the key to undo them. I have a key in my purse and lead jeans. You know, the genes that have a leather pouch in the back or the leather patch in the back, you can undo a couple of stitches on that slide one of the keys in there. You can sew them to the inside of any kind of skirt, any kind of genes if you are searched. Of course, that you know, you run more of a risk of them seeing the key there, unless you're kind of like hiding it within fabric that kind of thing. But I just hide them everywhere. You know now that I figured out, like, oh, I've tried it in the universal keys. I've tried them in every single pair of handcuffs that I've gotten my hands on, and they work in all of them. Every single pair that I've ever picked up will be undone by the universal handcuff key. Make sure it says that it will open up the asp asp. Those are the best ones. The best handcuffs. Those have the most specific key for them, so make sure when you're looking at the universal key, it says that will open up that one, because that that's the winner. Like Smith and Wesson won't open the ASP handcuffs, but the ASP handcuff key will open the Smith and Wesson ones. So those are are the report ones to get. And I mean, why recreate the wheel if you can just hide keys everywhere and you're good to go. However, most of the time I do see that the they're using the zip ties, the duct tape things like that much more readily than actual handcuffs. I mean it's cheaper. You know, they're just cheap, I guess, cheap criminals, and it's cheaper for them to do the zip ties and the duct tape. They have the new zip ties that have like it's really thick and they have like a center divider because they're used for handcuffs more. And those ones would be just such a challenge to get out of. But you can do it. You can do it. Your life's worth it. So are alrighty, Well, that is my anti abduction, kidnapping and self defense class. I'm going to encourage you guys to go out and find a martial arts school in your area. Like I say, they're everywhere. Usually you get a week free class. Make sure you like the instructor, make sure you like the class that you're there with the people that are there, because the people you're training with are just as important. But it is ninety percent your attitude and ten percent your skills. You can win the day a lot of time just with a superior mental attitude. So I'll I'll end on a funny note. I went to a bachelorette party. And at the bachelorette party, I don't want to sound racist thing because I have many, many, whole variety of friends of different colors, but we were about six white gals in of we were the only white girls in the bar, I'm going to put it that way. And the bachelorette had she's got a booty like you wouldn't believe, right, So all of the black gentlemen were very interested in her, and all the black women were very upset about this gal coming in and I'm me doing my thing, and finally this guy comes up and asks me, Hey, are you a lesbian? And I was like, yeah, I am. And all these chicks are my chicks, and. If anybody touches them, they're talking to me about it. Right. They were safe all night long, just because I put up this huge front about what a badass lesbian. So you know, it's mindset. It's mindset you can rule the day, and then if you have the skills to back it up on top of it, I mean all the better. And I danced with my friend. I I made sure I was kind of bodyguarding for her on the dance floor and whatnot. I made sure that everybody got at home safe and that you know, everybody's great people. I'm not trying to say anything about you know, anybody bad. I've got all kinds of friends of every different colors. So I'm definitely not a racist. But you know, when you're when you when you're in an iffy area and things could go wrong, and you're now you're in the city, like deep city, and you usually live out in the country, and so uh yeah, it's about mindset, and it's about just knowing that you're going to dominate the day. You're not going to become a victim, and there's nothing that anybody can do to make you into that victim. So I hope you guys enjoyed the presentation. I'm going to go ahead and put one together that's geared towards the kids so that we have something that we can show the children to kind of ignite that conversation and get that going and more. Of a. Less you know, there's a lot of graphic material and everything that goes on with this class, so, you know, just a way that we can show the children. But I've had a ton of kids come to my class. I've had to come over and over again. They love it, and so I'm always a big proponent of, you know, let them let them know what's going on. All right, I haven't even been looking at comments. I'm going to open it up for just one second if I can get it pulled up and. See if anybody has anything. Do you see anything on Element Chin? Anybody know? Not least time I look. Let's look again. I saw garter Girl was in there, but there wasn't really I think I found the YouTube.
