Colorado -- Experts no longer recommend appeasing or somehow calming an attacker, gjsentinel.com states.
The article goes on to praise a 9-year-old Orchard Mesa girl who fought off her 40-year-old abductor by biting his nose. Great going indeed!
Even though saying that you can always fight your way out of a tight spot is a dangerous fallacy, the main point is this: Firm and early resistance - running, screaming, shouting and fighting back - is your best option most of the time.
Pointing out that the submissive ideal is a way of the past, a safety director for the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, goes on to state: "What we've learned is that when kids are proactive, when they resist, they yell, they scream, they have a pretty good chance of getting away from these guys."
