Warn your kids about this new (or old na?) modus operandi

[empy]

well, i guess all kids should be told by their parents not to talk to or go with strangers anyway :hihihi:

[XTO]

Yes, kids should be more supladito and supladita nowadays--to strangers….But that bastard :bat::bat:knows when to attack the group ah. cornering them inside the elevator and naturally naunahan ng takot ang mga supot este mga bata :blue:

Yup, it's a variation of an old modus operandi used before. Another version involves a group of men (posing as undercover police) approaching an unsuspecting teener and accusing the victim of being involved in a fraternity. They will then proceed to divest their prey of personal belongings under the pretext of proving his 'innocence'.

time to enroll the kids to taekwondo lessons

I've been meaning to enroll my daughter in such a class when she grows older, but the thing is, these incidents are more psychological rather than physical in nature. Beyond fast kicks, grapples and quick blows, what a kid really needs in these kinds of situations are a critical mind and quick thinking.

I think it's better to enroll the kids in voice lesson, para pag meron ganitong incident sumigaw na lang especially pag nasa public place...hehehe

Hmmm...natatandaan ko natanggap ko din ito sa email ko mga two days ago. Parehong-pareho. Ang ipinagtataka ko lang, dito sa message na ito, Aaron ang pangalan ng anak ng nagpadala ng email. Samantalang sa natanggap ko, Renzo naman ang pangalan. Di ko na matandaan yung pangalan ng ina kung magkatulad kasi na-delete ko na nung natapos ko na basahin. Weird. Ano yun? Pati email kina-cut & paste at iniiba ang ang mga pangalan ng bida?

Just the same, mabuti na din ang nag-iingat.

that modus operandi is something new...

pero siguro what you should teach your kid to assert its right.

pede kang lang makap-kapan kung merun siyang search warrant.

so the kids should always tell the "apprehending" officer, merun ba siyang warrant. kung wala... the kids should gang-up on the guy and insist "let's call my mom" scenario.

experiences like that (though sometimes traumatic) can lead to a better learning experience din naman... it sometimes, make one stronger and more street-smart.

on recollecting my old days scare story... nung aroung grade 6 pa ako, mahilig akong maglakad alone (after the gimmik with my classmates sa cubao).

in one of those days, merun akong nakasalubong na mukhang "rugby"boy na mas matangkad sa akin. pagtapat nya sa akin, bigla akong inakbayan at "pahingi naman na pera"... "kung hindi mo ako bibigyan sisikmuraan kita diyan" ang threat nya.

with a gutsy quick thinking, sabi ko "wala na akong pera maliban sa piso, taga-dyan lang kasi ako, eto nga't naglalakad na lang ako" (pero actually taga marikina pa ako nuon).

i got away with a loss of 1 peso (pero ang jeep nuon cubao to marikina was P0.75 lang so mahal na yung piso) and a fear for "Kasalubong na rugby boy na naka-tsinelas". hehehe

pero simula nuon, i learned to look around me every now and then (as in almost every 5 seconds)... and if merun suspisious looking person, i always look him straight into his eyes.... takot din silang mamukhaan and will avoid you.

and most importantly, if the street is nearly empty I don't walk dun sa side na merun akong makakasalubong - laging across the street ako. at pagtumawid yung kasalubong ko to cross my path, i would also cross it para hindi kami magkasalubong.... obvious na pagbigla siyang bumalik di ba...(tatakbo na ako pag-ganun).

hindi ko ipina-alam sa bahay yung incident kasi sigurado hindi na ako papayagang gumimik alone or with my barkada again. hehehehe
