First
defense against abduction
is Knowing the 10 Common types of strangers!
1.) Gift giver
This is a stranger that tempts children to go with them through
gifts or promises of gifts. Such as sweets, etc.
2.) Friendly
This type of stranger attempts to gain children’s trust
through putting on a friendly persona to attract them.
3.) Game Player
A game player is a stranger that attempts to gain a Child's
trust through pretending to play games and usually they will
encourage the child to keep secrets.
4.) Helpless
By appearing to need help a stranger can lure a child to close
proximity, they may even ask for help.
5.) Familiar
A familiar can be a next-door neighbour, storekeeper, school
caretaker, etc. This type of stranger could use the fact they
are familiar to the child to get close.
6.) Messenger
A Messenger is a stranger that try’s to trick a child
to accompany them under the guise they were asked to collect
the child or has some important information that can only
be passed on in private.
7.) Mind reader
This is the stranger that gains a Child's confidence because
they appear to the child as knowing a lot about them. They
know their name, what school they go to, their parents name
or what they do for past time. The Mind reader usually has
studied its prey before they make a move. A child can be impressed
by their knowledge.
8.) Promiser
This stranger will make promises of a fun time if the child
goes with them.
9.) Cool
A stranger that demonstrates traits that children wish to
emulate will use this to attract them.
10.) Scary
Due to the fact children are taught to respect their elders
a stranger may use this to there own ends. A stranger can
use direct tactics to force children to go with them. By barking
out an order for example: - “ Get here now!”
