Learning from Victims

SAFETY TIPS FOR WOMEN

A woman left a grocery store in midafternoon and encountered a man trying to make small talk. She ignored him. But he followed the woman to her apartment and again tried to talk to her. He then pulled a gun from his waistband and demanded her purse. He ordered her into her apartment and told her to sit quietly. After he found a few things to take, he forced her into the bedroom. He said he was going to tie her up. She tried to run but he caught her and punched her several times. Trying to escape again, she somehow got away and ran to safety. He didn't chase her and simply fled.

Safety Tips for Women: I’m glad her bravery and resilience saved her, very possibly, from a worse fate. But she would’ve been far better off by taking action earlier – before her life was on the brink of disaster (see SET YOUR BOUNDARIES toward the bottom of Outdoor Safety - Friendly Predators). She could have confronted him earlier (as he followed her) while still able to run to nearby safe havens, thereby avoiding what amounted to a Home Security - Mug-In (a “Follow-Home” attack).
