Welcome to Gaia! ::

My sister sent me this today and I think it'd be good as a public anouncement.

A new form of kidnapping

> >Please read this, a new twist on kidnapping, a very smart survivor.
> >About a month ago there was a woman standing by the mall entrance

> >The woman was blessed to have escaped harm.
> >How much worse it would have been if she had children with her and
> >had them wait in the car while the man fixed the tire, or if she had
> >a baby strapped into a car seat? Or if she'd gone against her

> >I'd like you to forward this to all the women you know. It may save
