Default OT reminder - Keep a close eye on your kids!

.... and drill them constantly in the steps they need to do to react to
danger and protect themselves against abduction!

Our family dodged a bullet last night.

My 19 year old daughter, taking care of an across the street neighbor's dog
while they are out of town for the holidays, was the subject of an attempted
abduction around 9:30 last evening.

I won't go into details, but suffice it to say that she got to spend last
night in her own bed in part because she had been drilled countless times on
ALWAYS being aware of her surrounding, the fact that we had gone over, many
times, with her the steps to take if she felt in any danger, AND the fact
that she had the local police number on her cell phone speed dial.

Luck, and our previous precautions, were on our side last night .. and it
took both!

If you haven't already done so, do something similar for your kids, TONIGHT!

I am still shaking with relief and anger (and, when I can think about it, a
bit of pride in her coolheaded response) ... which may explain why I am so
touchy this morning ... but for your kid's sake, please take this to heart
immediately!
