Remember in a moving car everyone is vulnerable and the kidnapper really can't keep his entire attention on your and the road at the same time. There may be opportunities of escape according to how securely you are restrained. You may be able to kick or use your head to gain attention from a passerby. Sometimes the knowledge shared there can give you a little more confidence in their safety and well being. You have to get out there try. Nobody is going to make the call for you, so find a women's self defense course and attend. If you are experiencing abuse, the best advice is to get out. If you want to salvage the relationship, you both can go to counseling. If some one grabs you and you are not that strong, you can outwit your opponent. If they grab your arm, push in the direction that they are pulling. This will cause your attacker to be off balance and you can use your weight to make him even more unbalanced. Use your legs to keep pushing until he is totally on the floor or falling backwards. Women were protected in the past by society's rules and a sense of chivalry. Not that chivalry is dead everywhere, a woman has more chance to be assaulted in today's society then they would have twenty years ago. Women's self-defense is more important today because women have been devalued at the street level in today's society. It has happened but there is safety in numbers and a woman and two kids make more targets that escape and more witnesses if they are caught. Always keep your kids within arms reach, especially when you are in a strange place and especially if they are to young to recognize the danger. Never leave your child alone in a car. This is hardly ever the case and the people who think this way are truly misled. Women's self defense classes are now training women how to recognize potential red flags which may lead them to be sexually assaulted. The woman needs to understand what rape means so that the can recognize the warning signs.
