Victim Profile # 76 percent of children killed by their abductor are girls # The average age is between 11 and 12 years old # 57 percent are victims of opportunity # 14 percent are chosen because of some physical characteristic # Well over half of all child abductions that lead to murder happen within three blocks of the victim's home.
BRING THEM HOME
Profile of A Killer Kidnapper # The average killer of abducted children is 27 years old # 85 percent are unmarried # Half are unemployed # 51 percent live either alone or with their parents # 61 percent have prior arrests for violent crimes # 66 percent have a legitimate reason to be in the area where the abduction takes place
Rules For Kids # You can be assertive, and have the right to say no to someone who tries to take you somewhere, touches you, or makes you feel uncomfortable, scared, or confused in any way. # If you get separated from your parents in a public place, don't wander around looking for them. Quickly go to the cash register, security office or lost and found and tell the person in charge that you need help. # You should not get into a car or go anyplace with anyone unless your parents said it was OK. # Do not approach a car or person who you think is following you. # Grownups should not be asking children for help. If they are having a problem, they should talk to someone older. # Don't listen to people who ask for directions, need help finding a puppy or tell you that your parents sent them to get you because they are in trouble. # If someone tries to take you somewhere, quickly get away and scream: "This person is trying to take me away," or "this person is not my father (mother)!" # You shouldn't go places alone - take a friend. # Always ask your parents before you leave the yard or go into someone's house. # Never hitchhike or get a ride with someone unless your parents have told you it is OK to ride with the person. # If someone wants to take your picture, tell them no and let your parents or teacher know what happened. # No one should touch you in the parts of the body that would be covered by a bathing suit, and you should not touch anyone in these places, either. Your body is special and private.

The CommUnity button provides people with the technology to let each other know when they need help in the case of an emergency. The CommUnity button (which is also known as a 'panic button') is a service that you can sign up for with eblockwatch. As part of the registration process for this service you will need to provide the contact details of 4 of your friends or family and you will be given a special number to save to your phone. We always say to people that they should save this number to their contacts and make it a speed dial number. When you dial this number your 4 friends receive an SMS telling them that you need help. So at the flick of a button you have notified 4 people who care about you that you are in a dangerous situation! Just click on the eblockwatch logo above to get your panic button
