17. Took pics

Blizzard of 78-our town dumped all the snow in the park behind my house, every kid in town was there playing. I noticed a small green car, following us for days. Not a single adult wd take me seriously.
So I took my new camera, marched up to the car, started taking pics-he bolted

19. Do not move

Also, we were never told this when young before data collected on crime. A female private investigator said said never allow yourself to be moved to another location if confronted (even with a weapon) as your chance of survival plummets. Fight, scream, resist.

20. Whip around to find the voice

Just saying mom will have every mother turn towards you, it’s just a natural instinct and my sons are grown men, but I hear mom and my head whips around looking for that voice.
