I can think of two issues that need to be addressed.
The first is situational awareness. Color-coding is used to describe the degree of mental awareness that one is exercising with respect to their surroundings and possible threats. "Condition White", I believe, describes a person who is completely distracted by their own activities and wouldn't notice an attacker waiting nearby for an opportunity to pounce.
The second issue is that people need to act on the information that they get when they ARE aware of a potential threat. People will fail to act on a threat because they fear giving offense, being rude, or are embarrassed by their own, possibly mistaken, assessment of risk.
If the attacked girl had observed her surroundings carefully before unlocking her car, she might have spotted the attacker. He might just have been "loitering" without apparent cause, but that should be enough to cause the girl to take some evasive action.
As another poster commented, she could have thrown her car keys away from her so that her own car could not be used to abduct her. The distance to the attacker's car then becomes critical ground on which she needs to fight.
Again, I’m not trying to be a pest. I am looking for real answers here. Let’s say the guy was hiding behind a car near her. Her dad was a cop so I am assuming that she was taught to be aware. She doesn’t notice anything, is getting into her car (no reason for her to throw her keys away at this point) and the guy jumps out from behind her (she still wouldn’t see him) and shoves her from behind. She maybe had 2 seconds of awareness before he possibly knocked her out. She was in broad daylight! I guess I’m just not sure that there was anything she could have done to prevent this.
The guy they charged has a wife and little girl. No one suspected anything. It just makes my skin crawl.
