At the end of the day, it doesn't matter how much karate/whatever a kid knows, the mfer still doesn't weigh over 100 pounds. Despite the fact that some child abducters are overweight slobs who'd get winded after a block, most aren't.

When they had "escaping from strangers" speeches in my school they would always give us bullshit facts to reassure us like: A 10 yr old kid can out run a 30 year old adult. Really? You ever see a 10 year old kid in the olympics for distance or sprinting? Unless they're a 13 yr old tyson (that is bigger at age 13 than most adults are at any point in their life) they're in danger. I had a tyson like frame at 13 so i had nothing to worry about (size wise not muscle wise, 5'11 240). At 14 i was up by a college visiting my uncle and i guess the dorm i was standing by had some problems with the one next to it over parking issues. Some 20 yr old dude thought i was part of it (probably because i hadn't shaved in awhile) and told me to relay that "we" could park there at night as long as "we" were quiet.
