Safety, Home Invasion and Kidnapping

Published: April 15, 2015, 11:08 p.m.

Are you ready to jump up and immediately defend yourself and your family when something goes bump in the night? Burglaries, robberies and home invasions are a topic that we don’t like to think of or even prepare for because, we like to feel safe and comfortable when we’re at home. We all want our home to be a place of comfortableness and happiness not a military bunker surrounded by barricades placed because, we constantly think our neighbor or some stranger may break in. This segment of LifeFight is about Home Invasion. Home Invasion is a crime that can strike in ANY neighborhood. And if you know me and have listened to my tips on self-defense, you will know that attacks happen in places of seclusion and usually to people who are alone. Sadly, our home can operate as an attack area if we don’t secure it properly during the night and even daytime hours. The basis of my “Home Invasion” is in regards to a little girl who was kidnapped from her home by a neighbor who the family knew. This happened in what is considered a very safe neighborhood in O’Fallon MO. It was alleged that the kidnapper planned to murder the 10 year old girl whom he had been obsessing over and stalking for a while. The kidnapper was a teenage boy who allegedly got his ideas from a book that he was reading. My co-host Rebekah Beck reads through the report of this kidnapping incident as I break down what the family could have done to avoid a situation such as this. From reading the behavior of the kidnapper who was already known to the family; to reading the message sent by the dogs, and even how they could have responded when the mother saw the kidnapper running through the yard with her child. How can you protect yourself from a Home Invasion? A start is to do a simple search and lock-up every night. How can you identify if you’re a possible target? A safeguard can be assuring that you know the family members of those who you allow into your home. Do you live in a home that is difficult for you to secure during the night hours? If you can’t take the time to lock your home down at night to protect yourself, and family maybe your home is too big and you should hire a security person. Would you like more tips and thoughts on how to secure your home, and read people who may be a potential threat? Your home is YOUR HOME! You should never feel unsafe or allow someone to enter your home and rule you and your family! In this segment, “Home Invasion”, I will give you tips on how to assure your home is secure when you lay your head down at night. I will also spoon feed you the information to put your mind in mode to make any invader an immediate victim!
