What to look for
Lets start by making sure we are aware of our surroundings. Get in the habit of looking at peoples behaviors. Maybe something as little as an argument or a look on someones face can be asking for help. Watch for someone with their hand on someones arm trying to escort them into a car or even a semi truck. Some people will freeze and might be afraid to yell out. Watch for something that does not fit in. Maybe a house wife being pushed into a car by someone young. Watch for someone motioning for help while sitting in their vehicle or while passing you. Always keep your eye on someone pulled off the side of the road maybe for a bathroom break. Many time often a kidnapper will choose to have their victims pee on the side of the road or in the woods ultimately avoid crowded rest areas or any public bathroom where a victim could potentially get away. Watch for marks on wrist from zip ties or duck tape. As you are walking in truck stops or parking lots listen for sounds in trunks or the cab of a semi truck. Many times a victim is left alone while the perpetrator goes in to the stores for supplies. Also while at home monitors your Childs computers and phones. Recently talkCDL’s hosts were victims of an attempted infiltration of a possible pervert. Their 11 year old child was the targeted on instagram while she was on a private page for children only. Ladies watch yourself when leaving a store at night. Always try and park in a well lit area. Watch as you approach your vehicle that there is no one hanging around or that no one is visibly in the next vehicle that can reach out and grab you. Open the passenger door and enter you vehicle from that code instead if that is the safest entry. Keep your safety!
