Your safety and continued safety is dependent on many factors. Are you being stalked? A Stun Gun flashlight could save your life. Making a report with local authorities will not go very far. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a video of the stalker is worth more. Capturing proof of anything illegal and a threat to you and your family is key. Just reporting what you believe needs to be reported may not be given top priority unless a crime has already been committed. With video footage your report will be given the priority it deserves. Personal Protection products could save your life and the lives of others. Help authorities remove dangerous people from our streets and cities.
I have done a lot of live shows. Over the years, since the late 1990's, I have heard too many horrible crimes against women and children, elderly citizens and yes even men. What bothers me most is that when I hear these instances, they are after the fact that something happened. When I ask why they did not have any means to protect themselves most answer with "I didn't think it would happen to me". Below is an overview of why everyone should have a means to protect themselves and know their legal rights.
Small Town News & a Need to Know, October 2014
A few years ago, I had the opportunity to set up as a vendor during a two-day fundraising classic vehicle show. I love the people I meet. Through our conversations I learn about their area, interests, community plus a wide host of valuable information.
I met a lady, her daughter and grandchild in a stroller. While looking at personal protection products the older woman commented that the women of her city needed protection products to protect themselves against a local rapist.
I leaned toward her with great interest. I asked her how long the rapist was active and how many instances were documented. She told me her minister announced it at church that Sunday just before she came to the event. Her minister wanted his congregation to be aware that there were five or more rapes in the recent past in their area. I asked her what the local news has provided. She answered that none of the instances were in their newspapers or on any other news over the airways.
The general public has a need to know, specifically if the attacks are against only women, girls, both, or boys and men also. Remember the scout motto: “Always be prepared”. If the public does not know what they need to be prepared for, they will not be prepared. With today’s electronic news, social media sites, and information at your fingertips not as many subscribe to newspapers as they did in the past. Radio news and Television news requires that you be a regular listener to get the news they want you to hear.
I live in a small town and still subscribe to our local paper, and at that time, a weekend paper from the second largest metropolitan area in the state I reside in. The county and city where the clergy announced the rapist to the congregation is the same distance to the metropolitan area as the county that I live in. Nothing has been published where I live or in the large metropolitan area paper. With that being stated, I am hopeful by sharing valuable information through my social media, and article writing media channels, the public will be informed about a rapist in NE Indiana.
I do not know if the rapist operated just in the city or county that I visited, or if the geographic area spans across a few counties and cities. I believe that more than two rapes in a defined area which the rapist uses the same methods of operation, the attacks define a serial rapist in operation.
I understand that the Public Relations of a community not wanting to publicly announce there is a serial rapist in their midst. I also understand why policing agencies may want to suppress the crimes committed in their jurisdiction. However, I know that helping communities and alerting them to potential dangers out weigh the ramifications of suppressing information. I know also that the general public will not be prepared to protect themselves unless they know what the threat to them is.
I am not suggesting that every citizen needs a hand gun. I do believe that knowledge of a potential threat will produce ways and means to better protect themselves, their residences and their behavior patterns of daily routes, parking and heightened awareness to situations around them.
If you have read this entire article, you probably have a good understanding of why I believe a rapist operating in any area needs to be shared with the public through all news avenues.
If this article helps one person avoid being assaulted it is worth sharing. A hint for those of you that need more information, if you scan through my face book page and one of my web sites www.Safe-Practice.com, you will find the classic vehicle event and city where the rapist actions were shared with the congregation by their minister.

A true life example
My daughter worked in a mall that was torn down when she was 17. New stores have been built where the mall was. Around the 1999 to 2000 year time frame she went on break from a national retailer where she worked. She was approached by a couple of men and a woman selling perfumes. When asked if she was interested, she replied no, because of allergies. She was sprayed, fell to the floor and was attempting to crawl, she could not get up. A recruitment officer from one of the US military branches was coming back into the mall from his supper break. He went to where my daughter was laying (the “sales people”) immediately dispersed. He picked her up and carried her to his recruitment office. He notified the store where she worked. A couple of the male employees said the perfume sales people were in their store but they had no reaction to the perfume. My daughter was 17 years old at the time. No one called me or made a call to the police.
A coworker told me he was friends with the bar owners just outside the store where my daughter worked and offered to ask questions. The bar owners had the perfume sales people on surveillance in their bar and a clear view of their van in the parking lot including the license plate number. The license plate was from Illinois. I spoke to the bar manager. The bar manager informed me he could not share the video with me but if I made a police report, he could share the information with the police. I did make a police report. A detective went to the bar and viewed the sales people and their van. The detective called me back and told me that since the sales people did not physically assault my daughter they would not arrest them.
There were reports over social media with the same sales people operating in other cities in Indiana and Ohio. Close to six months after my daughter’s incident, a policing agency in Ohio arrested them. They had been using the rouse to subdue and abduct attractive young females.
If every city with similar incidents were shared through their state and bordering states, and provided public notice to be on the look out, or beware of alerts, the perpetrators could have been apprehended much sooner and saved the abduction of many young females.
This is one of the reasons I offer personal protection products. This is also why it should not be illegal or restricted to carry pepper spray or stun devices.

Personal Encounter
An alarming incident happened to me in the mid 2000’s at the Dollar Store on Goshen Road Gateway Plaza Ft. Wayne, Indiana. On my lunch break, I went to the Save A Lot then the dollar store. There were 2 South American men that pulled in as I was putting purchases in the car from Save a lot. They parked next to my driver door. I went in the dollar store. The two men came in. As I was walking around one of the men approached me and asked for my phone number. I told him I was not interested, I was taken. He approached me again and tried to block my way to the cash register while looking at the man with him an aisle over. I brushed him aside and told him move it I am on a time line to get back to work. I checked out and told the clerk they were trying to abduct me. She blew it off. When I went toward my car both men were in the car next to my driver door. Still looking suspicious and nervous, I unlocked the doors, opened passenger side rear door, locked all the doors and manually unlocked the passenger front door keeping a stare directly at them. I put my stuff in the back seat. I then entered my 1990 5 speed Toyota from the passenger side, immediately locked it and made sure all doors were locked. I scooted over the shifter and took off forward. I called the FTW City PD on my way back to West State Street. I was not followed. I did not drive around the car to get a plate number but I did have an very accurate description of their vehicle make, model color and imperfections. The PD blew me off like they did my daughter’s encounter. I also called the dollar store back and told them I made a police report and asked the officer to request footage of their surveillance. The dollar store did not have active cameras. Over the years that dollar store has been robbed a few times. I bet they have surveillance now. I had the same Stun Baton in my car that day that I still have (Since July of 1996). I did not display it though however. I also keep Pepper Spray with UV dye and at least one knife in my purse.

Abuse of Authority, Neglect of Dependents, Abuse of Finances
There is more every day being captured on live videos. Recent videos of child care facility employees abusing young children on the news is more frequent. Unfortunately, this unacceptable behavior exists toward our aging population, employees and students.
Abuse happens more than you think. Due to advancements in technology, proof of the abuse has caught some of the abusers on live video feed. Many places of employment, schools, and other facilities prohibit phones, cameras and any other devices that could document abuse.
The media shows neglect of mostly children. The children are often removed and placed in foster care. What about older adults in specialized care in their homes or facilities. What about adult abuse in the workplace or in schools? Unless there is proof, not much will be done to rectify the situation.
Abuse includes physical, emotional, or sexual harm, financial exploitation, or neglect of their welfare by people who are directly responsible for their care. Statistics propose that in the U.S. alone, as many as half (probably more) of all abuse cases go unreported.
Like children, older adults become more physically frail, they’re less able to take care of themselves, stand up to bullying, or fight back if attacked. Mental or physical ailments can make situations more difficult for companions who live with and care for these individuals. Unfortunately these individuals may not see or hear as well or think as clearly as they used to, leaving openings for unscrupulous people to take advantage of them.
Like children most Elder abuse tends to take place where they live. Sometimes the abusers are relatives. Elder abuse can also occur in institutional settings, especially long-term care facilities. Abuse still goes on in work places and schools.
Changes in behavior, acting more fearful and skittish toward anyone could be signs of serious illness or abuse maybe both. Withdrawing from friends and family could be depression or as a result of outside influence of intimidation, ridicule or embarrassment that they have fallen victim to financial fraud, through trickery, physical or emotional abuse.
Prescription medicine is an invitation of conversion for addicts or financial gain. I have read articles regarding caretakers stealing medicines, money, and valuable items to sell for profits.
There have been arrests of unscrupulous repair personnel, investment brokers, through acquaintances or phone scams that have been on the rise. This is especially true in the aftermath of natural disasters. This also happens after the death of a spouse.
