USA -- On Wednesday, a seven-year-old girl was grabbed by the man at a large store in Bremen, Georgia. The man, a convicted killer out on parole, then tried to carry the girl away.
The video below shows young Brittany screaming and kicking and eventually being dropped by the 25-year-old suspect.
The child had reportedly learned the evasion tactics at a school 'stranger danger' lesson.

Not very surprised
There' a new US based study which has been presented by the Emergency Nurses Association. The study shows that workplace violence is all too common in the nursing profession. However, it is not the co-workers, but patients and their families it stems from.
Over 3,000 nurses participated in a survey and more than half said they had experienced physically violence on the job, according to channel3000.com. What is even more alarming is that one in four said they had been subjected to a physical assault more than 20 times in the last three years.
"They'll spit, they'll pinch, they'll grab, they'll kick at you," one nurse said. She was not terribly surprised by the findings."The ones that just aren't getting what they want out of their visit, they get very verbally abusive and in your face."

A musical lesson
There are at least two vital lessons to be learned form the story below. First off, you definitely don't want to be messing with 17-year-old marching band girls. If they are armed with a baton, then even more so - stay clear :-)
Secondly - and this is the serious part - the incident really goes to show how effective any kind of weapon can be in a self-defense situation.
Needless to say, I really love stories like this one.
California -- This high school marching band student form Quartz Hill (a high desert community about 40 miles north of Los Angeles) beat up two attackers who attempted to mug her as she was walking to school Friday morning, officials said.
A Sheriff's spokesman said the teenager kicked one man in the groin and punched the other in the nose. She then beat both men into submission with her large baton before running away.

He was "bagged"
Australia -- A 24-year-old Hornsby (Sydney) woman was threatened with a sexual assault while going to work at a nursing home Monday, according to smh.com.au.
A man reportedly approached her as she was walking along the street. The 22-year-old man - who was later arrested - started talking to her and she walked up a pathway, according to police.
The man then took out a knife, held it to the woman's throat from behind - threatening to kill her. However, the young woman pushed the attackers knife away, turned around and hit him with her bag. She then allegedly kicked him and ran away.

Make some noise!
"Jump up and down, scream and holler, do whatever – just remember, the more noise you make, the safer you will be!" This is a lesson given to five-year-old elementary school kids by an Ohio resource officer.
Recently, remembering the methods she learned at school, a young girl (9) escaped an abduction attempt in Middletown, Ohio, according to wlwt.com.
The girl's mother credits Officer Mike Davies with saving the girls life after she fought off the 6'8", 300-pound would-be abductor on June 6.
The mother said her daughter kicked and screamed and punched, and did everything she was told to do.
Apart from being a great story about the ability to fight back - this story also raises the question as to how and how early children should learn about this issues.
Some say children should be allowed to be children. It's hard to disagree with that, really. However, at one time these lessons has to be taught, and they should be presented in some shape or form - the earlier the better.

Ruined robber's day
Robber's day ... is that something akin to St. Patricks Day, or Remembrance Day? It seems only fair that the robber's get their own day...
My bad jokes and similar bad taste aside, this 84-year-old guy really made my day. Sweet!
California -- A teenager may have been fooled by his intended victim's appearance. The would-be robber threatened an 84-year-old Santa Rosa man with a knife Wednesday afternoon, saying he wanted the man's wallet, according to pressdemocrat.com.
The elderly target put his grocery bags down. He then informed the young man he had been threatened by knives and bayonets before -- having fought in three wars as a U.S. Marine. He made it quite clear that the teen would be sorry if he came too close.
When the would-be robber stepped toward him, he proved his point by kicked the young criminal in the groin, according to police.
The teenager, who was estimated to be 15 or 16 years old, was reportedly left doubled over on the sidewalk around 1:15 p.m.

stalking, push-in
Here is a "classic" case of a perpetrator using (at least) two means to get to his intended victim - stalking (following), and a push-in.
Story:
UK -- In Newcastle, police say a man stalked an 18-year-old female in the early hours of March 9 (Sunday morning).
The teenager was walking home from a night out with friends at around 2:30 a.m., and footage from closed circuit TV, shows the intended victim being followed through the city centre.
The assault happened at around 2:40 a.m. The perpetrator followed her inside her complex, grabbed and pushed into her home, before sexually assaulting her. Screaming and kicking him, the young woman forced the attacker to flee her home.

Lame excuses #7
Here's one of the "best" (read: worst) excuses of "it was self-defense" I've read in a long time.
Story:
In Hellertown, Pennsylvania, a 19-year-old male was arrested by police after assaulting his stepmother, according to nj.com.
The teenager allegedly threatened to kill her. He punched and kicked the woman unconscious -- also kicking her down a flight of stairs. Why? Because the woman said she would call police when she discovered he was using her credit card.
The woman later told police she feared for her life because the teenager had been abusive in the past.
The "lights are on, but there's nobody home" stepson told police, "I took no chances" indicating he assaulted her in self-defense.
Police said the woman suffered from a fractured left ankle, which required surgery. She had a severely swollen left eye and damaged eye socket, which may need surgery, as well as severe bruising and a cut to her mouth.
Yes of course, the poor kid fought back in self-defense...

A simple lesson
I bet these Texas parents are more than happy they had their 9-year-old daughter Misty watch a self-defense lesson they saw on TV.
She remembered the lesson well, and a simple kick to the groin may possibly have saved her from being kidnapped, molested or even killed.
The young girl was approached by a man Tuesday at a playground in Allen, Dallas. She fought back hard when the perpetrator grabbed her - kicking, punching, screaming and running away.
The brave girl ran to a friend's house a few blocks away. "I ran. I ran as fast as I could. When I got to her house my heart was pounding so dang hard," the girl said.
You go, girl!

Gotcha!
Young woman with firm grip: 1 - Large male with pimped up ride: 0
Probably a good thing for "Mr not-so-tough-now" to have lights in his car that matches the color of his balls...
Story:
Texas -- A large man in a muscle shirt, probably in his 20s, about 6' 1'' and 200 pounds, offered a young woman a ride in Fort worth.
The 18-year-old woman was walking at about noon Friday when the man approached her. The female reportedly refused his offer repeatedly.
The man got out of his car, which had blue lights inside and underneath (bling-bling anyone...?). He grabbed the young woman by the hair and ordered her to get in, a police spokesman said.
When she fought back, the man threw her to the ground and kicked her in the ribs, the spokesman said.
The man pulled the woman back to her feet, and that's when she grabbed his crotch (ouch!). The man fell to the ground, and the woman punched him in the face and ran away. She told police that when she looked back, he was lying on the ground.

It's worth repeating - a door can be used in more ways than one ...

Hazards at work, 45
Community order and no jail for an assault like this?
Story:
A drunken man who beat up a taxi driver for kicking him out of his cab has walked free from court. He was given a 12-month community order.
The 21-year-old man punched the driver after being ordered out of his taxi because of his unruly behaviour, leaving the victim nervous about carrying out his work, particularly at night and when passengers had been drinking.
The driver said he picked up five customers at 11:10 p.m in Burnley. The defendant sat in the front passenger seat and persistently knocked the taxi out of gear and interfered with the victim's radio. He pulled on the handbrake of the vehicle, tore a sticker off the dashboard and threw cards into the back of the cab.
The driver stopped, told the group he did not want to take them any further because of the defendant's behaviour and told them to get out.
As the defendant left the taxi, he elbowed the driver and the driver walked around the front of the vehicle to try to close the door. The defendant was standing in the way and punched the driver around the left eye, making him fall backwards. Two of the other passengers then joined in and the victim was again floored and thought he was briefly knocked unconscious.

Gotta have music
"I can't work out without music."
Some people are never gonna learn until it hits home. Even then, many can't see that they could have done things differently ...
Story:
Wisconsin -- She didn't hear her attacker running up behind her. The 18-year-old woman was listening to her iPod as she rollerbladed along the Janesville bike trail the afternoon of May 24.
She didn't pay much attention to the man she saw sitting on a bench, smoking a cigarette. But a few moments later, he blindsided her with a blow to the head.
Knocked to the ground, she kicked and waved her arms at the assailant. He fled, and she skated home to report the assault.
Another teenager, Rachel, rollerblades the trail every morning. She's not apprehensive because she uses the path in daylight, usually with a friend.
The teenager said she can't carry a cell phone because her skating outfit has no pockets. She also listens to music while skating.
When it was pointed out that the woman attacked was skating alone in daylight without a phone and listening to music, she replied: "I can't work out without music. Where else am I going to work out? I don't enjoy the road."

Holly cow ...
Cow self-defense perhaps?
Story:
An unsuccessful sexual advance by an elderly Cambodian man on a young heifer ended badly when the bovine fought back, kicking him to death.
The 67-year-old man of south-western Svay Rieng province had been divorced for just 10 days when his urges apparently overcame him in the middle of the night.
Sounds of a scuffle caused the man's grandson to investigate, whereupon he found the man's naked body lying under the family's frightened cow with injuries to his head and genital area consistent with being kicked by the beast, the paper reported.
Police concluded he died in a rape attempt gone wrong, the paper said. Villagers were quoted saying the man had been divorced twice, with both wives citing his insatiable desires as the cause.

Busted
In one word: Respect. This gent is really something! Karate, kung-fu, who cares - this is just one tough dude.
Story ('Karate kick Buster, 100, floors gang'):
Britain's oldest worker told on Wednesday how he fought off a gang of would-be muggers – using kung fu. Buster Martin showed that, even at 100, he still knew how to handle himself when he was confronted by the teenagers after a night at the pub.
The World War II veteran scared his three attackers so much they fled empty-handed. Mr Martin, a car washer-cum-mechanic, said: 'They just came at me and pushed me against a wall and tried to take my money from me.
'Then they pushed me on the floor and I went mad. I was lashing out on the floor and then I stood up and was kicking them all.
'I pushed one and kung fu kicked the other one between the legs and he let out a scream. They ran off scared after I did that and I still had all my money.'

Multiple strategies
Research has clearly shown that your odds increase if you use multiple strategies in defending yourself. Here's a great example.
I would also like to praise this young woman for her will to fight back, and by doing so, getting this perpetrator off the streets.
Story:
California -- A 33-year-old man, whose injuries matched those inflicted by a woman on an attacker who attempted to rape her, was arrested Tuesday.
On Saturday at approximately 3:45 p.m. a man entered a model home and asked the 19-year-old woman working there if he could use the bathroom.
The man exited the bathroom and after mumbling a few words to the victim, lunged at her, grabbing her by the neck.
As she fought back, the young woman was thrown into a back office where her pants were ripped as the attacker attempted to remove them.
Fighting the attacker off, she managed to dial 911 on a desk phone and her screams were heard. The man ripped the phone from the wall but the call was responded to by Apple Valley deputies.
They found the woman bleeding and suffering from injuries to the head and neck. She had stopped her attacker by kicking and scratching him. She had also bit the attacker’s index finger before he fled.

Fought him off
Australia -- A serial rapist may be at work in Brisbane. In the second sex attack within a week, an 18-year-old woman managed to fight off a man who entered her home yesterday afternoon in East Brisbane, and tried to rape her.
There were striking similarities between the incident and the rape of a woman on Tuesday of last week – in the method of attack and description of the offender.
In yesterday's incident, the woman answered a knock at her front door at 2:40 p.m. to a man asking about her house being up for sale.
The woman gave the man a card but would not allow him in and told him to leave. A few minutes after she had closed the door and returned to her lounge room, the man, believed to be in his late 20s to early 30s, appeared and dragged her into a rear bedroom.
The pair struggled throughout the house before she fought him off, kicking him in the groin. When she pulled a carving knife out of a kitchen drawer, he ran out the front.
The man was described as about 177cm tall, with a slim but athletic build.

Shin kick
Does it hurt to get a solid kick i the shins? Well why don't you just slam your leg into something hard and pointy to find out?
Story:
Australia -- A teenage girl was walking to a school bus stop in Orelia (Perth) when she was grabbed by a well dressed man who had moments earlier stopped and asked for directions.
The quick thinking 13-year-old was pulled to within a metre of her attacker's car when she managed to break free.
"I was thinking how I could get away and what to do if he got me in the car,'' she said.
"I kicked him in the shin as hard as I could. He bent over and grunted and let go of me.''

Twisted free
Ontario, Canada -- An attempted abduction of the 14-year-old girl has her scared of walking to school during the day.
The incident occurred Friday when the teen was walking to secondary school around 8 a.m. A man pulled up in a red car, got out and tried to grab her. But at five-foot-five and 150 pounds, the teen used her height, weight and self-defence training to her advantage.
"I just knew I didn’t want to get into his car, so I fought back," said the girl. "He grabbed my arm, but I twisted free. Then he grabbed my waist and I just kicked and screamed and elbowed him in the face. Then I ran away."
The girl told South Simcoe police her attacker was in his 20s, about six feet tall. He was clean shaven with a heavy build.

Women turn to violence
Scary perspectives indeed!
The good part is that more girls and women learn to stand up for themselves if they ever should need it in a physical self-defense situation. The bad part ...
Story:
They graduated from pushing and shoving and name-calling to straight up duking it out. Now a furious debate is on over the reasons girls are fighting and how we can stop it.
The urgency is underscored by the millions of references and thousands of videos of violent fights on the Internet.
The beatings are punishing – fists flying, hair pulling and kicking. This is how more and more girls these days handle disputes.
"Me or my friend bumped into a girl in the lunch line and I didn't say sorry," said a high school senior. "She came at me. We started fighting."
"If you just look at them a certain way, they'll try to fight you," said one high school sophomore.
