In this post I'm going to briefly talk about protecting your children in chaotic times, or even better, enabling them to protect themselves. Of course I would fight to the death trying to keep my children safe, and I'm sure you would too, but it's important that they also know ways to protect themselves. I hope it doesn't come down to it, but the possibility of being ran in on by unprepared, looting idiots who intend to do nothing more than hurt or kill whoever is in their way so they can take over whatever food or supplies they want is a very real possibility. Another sad truth that I daily pray my daughters and I will never have to face is the possibility of disgusting lunatics who will go around foraging for women and young females that they can rape simply for their own pleasure.
You need to prepare yourself and your children, especially your daughters, for circumstances like this. The first step would be to sit down and have a heart to heart discussion about these situations. These may be hard topics to talk about with your children because they're terrifying, but they're also going to be hard for their younger minds to fathom. I can't express the importance of these discussions though, these are very real possibilities that could one day turn into real life problems. I feel like the best physical preparation for all of this is through self defense classes, and depending on their age, shooting classes. I'm going to share some links below that will help you locate a great defense class and shooting courses near you. In the meantime, stock up on pepper spray, and look into getting a stun gun, or even a stun baton... don't forget to stock up on additional batteries.
R.A.D. Programs (Rape, Aggression, Defense System) - Locate a class near you!
radKIDS (Rape, Aggression, Defense System for children) - Locate a class near you!
