Your right, especially when your surprised like that, fear takes over you..I can’t imagine what was going through this mother’s mind, the horror
it may not even be fear, but just trying to figure out what flight/fight response to use. It can take people a couple seconds to determine that if they are caught by surprise.
best thing is to probably scream and go on the offensive - groin (either sex), eyes, take a bite out of anything you can get a hold of and rip a chunk of flesh out (yes i know that could be dangerous)...
These pedophiles MUST be given life in prison...apparently these men are hardwired to fulfill their fantasies, their desire to view child porn, molest, rape and kill children.
They must never be released from prison to mingle with the population. From what I've read, those who have been arrested and served time, were given in depth counseling, and yet they are repeat offenders. We can't take any more chances that our children will be sacrificed, because the courts are unwilling to give these offenders long sentences, aside from the fact that the counseling given while incarcerated and afterward is not effective.
