Protecting Yourself: Ways to Get Away Safely |
🤔 STOP AND THINK! Don't panic. Stay calm and remember these steps:
1. 👉 Twist your wrist so your thumb points up. This will make it harder for them to hold on tight.
2. 🤚 Use your other hand to grab their wrist. Then swing both arms over your shoulder quickly. 😲 Be careful not to hit your head when you pull away. Swing your arms across your body, not straight up.
3. 💪 When you pull away, use your whole body - not just your arms. 🦵 Keep your legs planted on the ground for balance. Don't turn your back on the person. 👀 Face them and back away slowly once you're free.
Remember - your safety is important. 🚨 If someone grabs you, focus on getting away safely without hurting yourself or the other person. Stay calm and think through the steps to break free. Then find a safe place and call someone you trust for help. 💪 You've got this!
