Stay Aware..Stay Alert..Stay Alive - Surviving Against An Attack!

Women need to be extremely observant and vigilant about their personal safety! It’s too bad that our society has gone in that direction - but unfortunately it has. You don’t have to become paranoid about your personal safety - just make safety a habit. When you do that you become more observant of your surroundings, your situations, and the people who are in your space.

An article was sent to me by my good friend, Melissa Soalt aka Dr. Ruthless right before our radio interview (Lets Talk Home Security) on Friday, 9-11-09. It was about a young woman in Chicago who foiled an abduction attempt in the Back of the Yards neighborhood by stabbing her male attacker with a ballpoint pen. The two men are being sought in the incident authorities said on Friday, 9-11-09.

NOTE: If physically attacked, use whatever you can to fight off the attacker. Kick to the groin, yell as loud as you can to try and attract attention, stomp his shins, the top of his foot, use a ballpoint pen - whatever you can that will help save your life! As Dr. Ruthless says - "Go ballistic on the attacker - he’s probably not going to expect it so when you surprise him like that, he’s probably going to be caught off guard!"

At about 11:30 a.m. on September 3, two suspects were parked in a two-door white panel van near the woman’s home. The driver stayed in the van while the other guy exited the vehicle and grabbed the 18-year old woman from behind and placed her in a chokehold, authorities said.

Note: First, be observant if you see two guys sitting in a van especially if they look out-of-place. If you are grabbed and forced into a vehicle, fight with everything you have because the second location you will be taken to will not be a good thing. As Dr. Ruthless explains, the second location is always more dangerous! Criminals have far more control over you at that location. Go ballistic but do not "go with!" Many women who have gone with their attackers have not been seen since!!

The man then tried to drag the woman toward the van, but she stabbed him in the neck with a ballpoint pen before getting away authorities said. Let’s hope they find these criminals and stick it to them. They need to be off the streets ASAP so other women aren’t in jeopardy of being attacked. The next victim may not be so lucky!

My recommendation for women is to learn how to protect yourself as part of your overall personal safety. Take a self-defense class and make it part of your personal protection/safety awareness. Be in charge of your life’s outcome. Don’t let some punk off the street decide that today your life ends!!

Dr. Ruthless has a great DVD Self-Defense Program called "Fierce & Female." This is a program you can use at home at your convenience. If you are in a high risk job, live a single life, and are female - that just about says it all! As a female, look at making self-defense training and protection a part of your life. By learning the self-defense techniques and strategies from Fierce & Female it could help save your life!!

Remember, Stay Aware…Stay Alert…Stay Alive!!
