Teach your child how to survive an abduction
Protection expert gives tips on best way to fight, stay alive
Montgomery Texas Police Chief Jim Napolitano, a former Secret Service agent to four different presidents, is an expert in protection and security. With his advice and the help of child and adult actors, News 6 set out to teach parents exactly, step by step, what you need to do to escape from a child abductor in four typical scenarios.
Scenario No. 1: A predator approaches a child at the playground. There are others around, but the attacker snatches the child quickly.
What do you do?
Napolitano says two things:
1. Scream as loud and fast as you can to attract attention
2. Fight, punch, kick and claw
“They have to fight,” he said. “Fight with everything they have inside of them to get away from this person that wants to do them harm.”
