Abductions take seconds, but that’s all the time children need to escape.

Have you ever had children pull the “limp noodle” tantrum on you? You know, they drop to the ground like their legs don’t work, hug your knee or shopping cart, and act like a nut, totally embarassing you?

For 20 years I have studied failed abduction attempts where children accidently tripped, and fell to the ground, which slowed down the movement just enough for the kidnapper to let go and stop his attack.

I’ve created a program (called Grip, Dip & Spin™) based on this instinctive, defiant reaction of kids to “SIT down then GRAB something” and adapted it to child abduction prevention. Here is why it helps:

Kidnappers want “speed” during their 1st approach, so if your children DELAY being moved, precious seconds are passing, and now abductors are more worried about being caught, than taking your kids.

Imagine the mystified look on the kidnapper’s face as your children play “twister” on the ground… So what is a kidnapper’s next instinct? It’s to pull AWAY from your kids, and then RUN AWAY from them!

Curious what the hect I am talking about? Certainly there is more to this, and I am just getting started. Would you like to see more, so you can decide if your children and/or students need to know this?

A few years ago MONTEL invited me on his show to demonstrate this, after he had heard about a girl who used Grip, Dip & Spin™ moves to stop a kidnapper, one second before he threw her in his car.

In 1985 I started studying adult and child abductions for a documentary class (self-defense was in my blood before that too, I earned a Black Belt in 1977) to discover how to improve our escape odds.

There are literally 1000’s of articles, videos, etc. are all over the place telling our kids to protect their “personal space”, yell, run, pull away, wiggle, hit, kick and/or do “whatever” they can to get away.

But research on human response during panic situations shows us that our ability to think and move is severely distorted. Why? Because instantaneous fear and panic reduce oxygen flow to our brains.

The result? It’s difficult to UNDERSTAND what someone’s true motives are (kidnappers are experts at building trust fast) and recall even the simplest things like “shout, run, kick him you know where…”

Plus, ADRENALINE cranking through our bodies during panic situations severely alters our fine motor skills. So we can throw coordination and memorized, complicated “techniques” right out the window.

The answer is a research validated method contained in the “slogan” called Grip, Dip & Spin™. It was revealed by a FBI Agent (he’d read an article I wrote) on Larry King during the Elizabeth Smart case.

Grip, Dip & Spin™ is an easy to learn method for stopping predators when your kids can’t run, yell or fight back with conventional self-defense “techniques” that are not helping your children break-free.

In addition to stopping kidnappers, Grip, Dip & Spin™ is a critically important emotional tool for you…

It provides all of us (children, teens and adults) with a routine that can be used to FOCUS ON during the fear and panic of an abduction attempt; in order to reduce the odds we are “frozen like statues”.

Grip, Dip & Spin™ is dedicated to all kids and teens who have been abducted, assaulted or molested and thought it was their fault (predators are experts at manipulation and making children feel guilty).

The “fight or flight” response is part of our subconscious, just like our hearts beat 100,000x each day without any thought or effort. I’m often asked, “Are you saying kids should always Grip, Dip & Spin?”.

Not at all… Your kids should NOT “sit down” IF they can escape from kidnappers on their feet i.e. run, shout, kick him, etc. and if he let’s go, great. But what are your kids prepared to do when they can’t?
