Emergency Lure

This is an effective lure that works equally well on women and children. By doing little background investigation on the intended victim, a predator's odds of the lure working are almost guaranteed.

A predator, wearing an EMS uniform or similar garments indicating a position of authority, walks up to a child and calls them by name. The child is then informed that there is an extreme emergency requiring their immediate presence. Something like, "You're father is severely injured and is asking for you!" or in the case of women, "You're husband has been severly injured and I've been sent to take you to him!"

In either case, the impression is left that a loved one is injured and your immediate presence is required.

Children should require this person to use the Code Word before going anywhere. Women, rather than immediately reacting, should ask questions before deciding what to do. They should then transport themselves unless a friend or known acquaintance is available.
