Great article Anna, hope it will save some lives. Very easy to play on a females emotions, even when it doesn't make sense (why would a man leave his baby out in the car if it wasn't breathing?) I think I would of run outside too!!!! In case this does happen to any female and you're not sure what to do,,,,, tell the man you will go call 911 while he brings the baby inside. Susie

Those articles are the same in every area of our society. Many people fall for the convenient and well thought out schemes. No one gives thought to an intentional malicous crime or wrong doing. Most of us wish to believe the world is good for the most part and the chances of it happening to us a rare chance. Basic simple manipulation works the best. The most effective is Greed, Fear and Thankfulness. Most of these schemes are posing people posing as friendly or good folks just trying to help you out or needing you to help them. You will not let an enemy or an unfriendly type tag you nor will you allow your guard to come down either. Whereas, a friendly, innocent or needy types play on the emotions by which you can open yourself up to be nailed. From the malls to amrket there is a lot of evil in this omnious world and instinct is about all we have to protect us from ourselves. Our forefathers, parents and elder instilled in each of us the goodness where society the Greed and Fear ... Alwaus use common sense ... It can save you more times than not. Great articles and reading. :-) Gary

Hi Binder, thanks for the info. I passed it to my wife who plans to pass it on to her friends. Based on the number of phone calls she gets, I estimate that to be several thousand women ! 1. Most shopping malls have information or security desks. If someone gets an offer to be in a commercial, check with them or ask the guy for some credentials. 2. If you have a cell phone, offer to call 911 !!! If he's legit, the police will show up and help with the baby. If he's not, the police will show up and ...... 3. If you don't have a cell phone .... offer to go to the information booth. 911 calls a free. Geeeez ! I hate even reading about stuff like that. I'm more used to watching out for fist fights when the last parking space is taken. Regards, Chris
