[@lizglass9195]

I agree. SUV shows situations that actually teach lessons on life. Always be aware of your surroundings. I was s child welfare worker, 20 years, and teaching children to escape dangerous situations in invaluable. I taught my granddaughters to not trust anyone: people will use babies to lure girls, they will use other children to lure kids, be aware of sending your child to spend the night .you never know what is a person's motive. A stranger is a stranger. Brave girls. Thank God she fought. Mom, we can't be with our children all the time..not your fault. So glad she escaped. God bless.

I don’t know why this story makes me emotional. 11 year old children shouldn’t have to worry about going through things like this. It’s insane that they do. This girl was so smart and so fortunate.

[@teresai1877]

Agreed. It's terrible! We, good people, can fight back by keeping a closer eye on our kids/kids in our community and by training our kids how to defend themselves. She knew that she should kick and punch the attacker and not go in his car. Her mom probably had told what to do in such a situation.

[@DarthHLT]

Okay, so, some People out there claim, they say, they might not watch these Shows anymore (Crime Police Shows like for example NCIS [low ratings]) or this Show (Law and Order SVU). By the way, I am STILL watching. I WILL KEPP ON watching, but some don't and already quit watching. They stopped because some says, this Show now focus too much on (Captain) Olivia Bensons Character OR it's getting too Woke OR it's becoming too left OR whatever. But, this Story here proofs that suchs Shows can (sill) be inspiring, and (still) being helpfull. After all, this Girl here, got the Idea, to mark the Suspect, the Bad Guy, fom watching Law and Order SVU. So one Show can STILL make a difference. These Shows or this Show can still be meaningfull, helpfull and Live saving. Okay, okay, okay, maybe I am making a fuss about nothing... and maybe I am wrong. BUT WHO AGREES ???? For a "so called" left, woke Show, it has certainly, left it marks, and obviously help that little Girl. Who agrees with me?? Because if that is not something Positive, if this is not something to cheer about, then I don't now what to say. I would say, this is a good and positive feel good Story, with a thankfully good Ending. And furthermore a true Story. A real World Story. And who or what help the girl? A TV Show. A Show that some (People out ther might) have call Woke, left, too Olivia centric or whatever, and already quit (watching). Well not me... I still watch and love this Show. If this story isn't proof that we still need these Shows, then I dont know what... Anyone agree or disagree?
