I don’t have a daughter. I did live in constant concern that my son would be kidnapped for the first 13 years. We had very strict rules we followed.
As the father of daughter(s) and given what you know about males in today’s garbage societies, how are you not very concerned about the Will Thomas/Loudon county scenarios?
Years ago, when a young man came on a Saturday to pick up one of my daughters for a date, I just happened to be cleaning my shotgun in the family room from hunting quail earlier that day. It was maybe…a month or so later, this song came out.
Always followed and taught strict personal safety guidelines I have followed my whole life. Other than that, we live our lives with joy and happiness and we don’t wallow in the sewer of Right Wing Content Creators who want you to believe trans people are big scary monsters and kidnapping, murders, and mayhem are around every corner.
i teach them that thanks to the degenerate left and democrats who are normalizing various gender/sexual related mental illnesses based on some perverse distortion of what “progress” is, there are a lot of sickos out there and they need to be wary and cautious and not to ignore signs or signals or anything that seem odd.
for instance, i tell them that they should avoid anyone who does the things Joe Biden does around little girls and other women. There are plenty of good examples of that for them to see what to avoid
I mean being murdered or raped is a real possibility anywhere at anytime.
I will instruct my kids (if I ever have any) to be prepared. My kids won’t be walking around as adults in condition white. They don’t need to dwell on the possibility (I don’t) but they do need to be mindful of their surroundings and more importantly what kind of people could potentially be a threat to their safety.
Now that’s true. As we all know, it’s usually males who do it. And when people are in restrooms and dressing rooms, they are at their most vulnerable.
So let’s demand the most likely demographic of perpetrators access to their desired demographic of victims while the victims are at their most vulnerable.
One can never completely disregard any threat, but the fact that in the 40 or so years of living in this community before I had daughters and through their years under my roof, there had never been a child abduction other than in custody disputes helped. Zip codes matter.
Besides constantly making sure she is situationally aware and knows how to avoid getting into situations that increase the possibility of being on the receiving end of any kind, I frequently annoy her by telling her things such as you don’t invite males into the female restroom (like what happened in Loudon County). I also make sure she understands the basics of quickly disabling a guy and getting away.
By the time my youngest daughter was 14 she had been awarded her 3rd Dan in Tae Kwon Do and was competing in the AAU Junior Olympics. At 15 she won a Silver Medal. Chances are if some mook attempted to lay hands on my daughter as in the Loudon County rape cases, that individual likely would be seriously injured. My oldest daughter broke some clowns nose with a right cross in HS because he touched her breast. This was in the mid-late '80’s and the AP at the school asked if we could speak to her. I told him “Sure, I’ll tell her next time follow the right cross with an uppercut”! They weren’t amused. I encourage fathers of daughters to find self-defense classes beginning at around age 10. I trained in TKD as did my wife for many years, you learn a few things and its great exercise. Unless you’re just a girly man and “abhor violence” you should be able to defend yourself if someone puts their hands on you. Why be a victim? Beat their ■■■■■■■ asses and maybe they’ll think twice next time.
Daughter was a risk taker. She played with fire as an adolescent. I slowed some of that down but in the end, it was only the grace of God that preserved my daughter.
Fortunately she did well in school and ended up in a respectable job as a high school principal. Sadly, last time I checked, she leans left.
