3 skills every child needs to learn to escape when kidnapped

As child kidnapping is becoming more alarming than ever, these self-defense skills are something every parent needs to equip their children with.

Child kidnapping is becoming an extremely worrying problem for parents. Alarmingly, the number of child kidnapping cases is increasing with extremely sophisticated and unpredictable methods. Many people may not know that every year, our country has hundreds of cases of missing children due to being bought, kidnapped and sold abroad and about every week, 2-3 Vietnamese children go missing.

Therefore, more than ever, parents need to pay more attention to equipping their children with self-defense skills to be able to respond to dangerous situations. The clip below will guide the very important skills that parents should teach their children so that they know how to deal with the situation when being controlled by a kidnapper. In fact, in 84% of failed kidnappings, children escape through their own actions, 35% actively resist and 49% run away.

The clip shows a class in the US that teaches children how to defend themselves when they are being held by a kidnapper. In this class, the teacher will pretend to be a kidnapper while each child will practice how to resist when being held by a kidnapper. The children seem to be able to practice what they have learned very well.

Here are three important skills taught in this class:

1. Strong reaction

The class taught the children various skills in case of kidnapper attack. First, the children were taught to scream loudly and struggle fiercely when the kidnapper was dragging them away. Therefore, parents should also teach their children to scream as loud as they can and resist by all means. Parents should teach their children to scream loudly even when they are forced to keep quiet.

2. Attack by any means possible

Teach your child to use his hands or feet to attack the kidnapper at every opportunity. Because when kidnapping a child, the bad guy will often have to use both hands to carry the child, so parents should teach children to take advantage of this moment to attack, maybe the stranger's legs, knees or sensitive areas. Biting is also one of the ways for children to attack the kidnapper.

3. Lie on the floor

Another skill that children need to be equipped with is to try to lie on the floor and repeatedly kick the kidnapper in the face. This skill can not only help children buy more time but also increase the chance of being able to escape.

For your child's safety, parents should teach them these necessary skills as soon as possible, don't wait until it's too late when an accident happens.
