Kidnapping is a rampant business nowadays, fueled by the harsh economic conditions in the country. People resort to trapping others and demanding ransom as their only means of survival. Being kidnapped and release in 25 minutes is what I would call a miracle and our effort can be part of the quick release.

I can't imagine being snatched from the comfort of my own space and thrown into a closed truck by unknown kidnappers. But if such an ordeal were to occur, talking wouldn't be difficult for me if it meant securing my release. Initially, fear would consume my thoughts, but succumbing to it would only make me appear weak.

Engaging the kidnappers in conversation, regardless of its content, could potentially buy me time or sow doubt in their minds about their actions. There are tactics one can employ in such dangerous situations to increase their chances of safety.

I don't mind engaging them with any form of discussion that would hold them down to listen. There tactics to employ when in danger that can serve as safety measures. Imagine just talking meaningless to myself nonstop, that would surely give them a chance to rethink if I'm mentally alright or they got the wrong person.

Simply talking incessantly like we see mentally disabled, with thus, they might want to reconsider whether I'm mentally stable or if they havee targeted the wrong person.

I once heard a story about three kidnapped children, where the eldest sibling kept disrupting the peace throughout the ordeal. This behavior could potentially unsettle the kidnappers and create an opportunity for escape which was exactly what happened. As she kept on crying and seeking help, they drove to a place that was less busy, stopped the tricycle and dropped her off and went with the other two that sat unconcerned.

We all have fears, but in order to instill fear in the kidnappers, I would come up with unrealistic stories presented in a convincing manner. By expressing my inability to provide a ransom or the potential consequences of taking me to their destination, I could sow confusion and doubt in their minds.

Silence can be deadly in such situations, as many have lost their lives due to it. Trying unconventional methods, such as acting or using coded communication, can be lifesaving. I recently watched a video where a woman, during a home invasion, pretended to be blind to communicate with emergency services. Her convincing act led to the arrest of the intruders.

Sometimes, shouting for help may not be effective depending on the location of the kidnapping. Imagine shouting in a desolate location where no one is, It's crucial to utilize our senses and employ the most suitable method for the situation at hand.

Taking and employing ordinary tactics can be crucial in surviving a kidnapping ordeal. It's important to keep our brain active, think straight on which method is best suitable that would work effectively to one's release, and adapt to the circumstances to increase chances of escape or rescue.
