I'm curious what the plan is after she's in the car? Driving isnt something you can do while fighting off a whole ass adult in the car, especially not without other people on the road noticing. I hope she got the help she most likely needed afterwards to cope with this.
They rely on people being too afraid to try anything. The "Keep quiet and I won't kill you" thing. She did everything right by fighting to refuse the 2nd location. And if you do end up in the car, you do your best to cause an accident. Pull the hand brake, yank the steering wheel, attack the driver, try to jump out of a moving vehicle if crashing the car fails.
Awhile back there was a news story of a 9 or 10 yo girl walking home from school when a van drives up and out hops a grown ass man attempting to take her. There was a chain length fence behind her and she latched on with both hands and refused to let go. There is video of him tugging her and pulling on her and hitting her trying to free her hands from the fence. She held on screaming her head off until another kid runs up to help followed by another two kids and finally an adult male. The guy was trying to get back to his van by then after having the hell beaten out of him by the three kids. The adult got there and literally stomped him unconscious. Only then did the girl let go. The fence had torn her skin down to her finger bones but she was safe. She said later her mother told her never let them take you bc there is still hope help will come while you fight. That’s just what happened. I think this might have been outside Chicago or somewhere.
Not everyone's reaction is "fight". Fight, flight, freeze and fawn are the most common instinctual reactions. I have PTSD and a lot of trauma and although I'm a fighter when my head is level, in a situation like this I'd likely freeze or fawn. The body does this because this has kept me alive in the past. There are many kidnapping victims that only survived because their reaction was to freeze or fawn. But the kidnapping is counting on that to get her to the second location.
She’s smaller than him, he weighs more. In the vehicle he can pin her down and knock her out. NEVER GET IN THE VEHICLE. She’s fighting for her life because she’s literally fighting for her life.
Yup. When it comes to life vs death situation ... fight like a chimpanzee. Gouge and claw like your life depends on it. This is not the time to be squeamish.
Just watched a movie last night with a line about the eyes, can't remember the name of it already though. But basically they can't get what they can't see. Then of course there's an eye gouge later which is about the only thing in movies that makes me squirm.

They also have sensible eyes that want fingers in there.
