We have all heard it before, on TV and in the papers, a drug slipped into the drink of an unsuspecting victim. The victim later awakes unable to recall any events of the past several hours or longer and believes a sexual assault was committed against them. Sounds frightening, but the reality of it is that the use of date rape drugs are becoming an epidemic.
Don’t place yourself into a situation you don’t deserve. Follow some tips to protect yourselves. For example: never accept a drink from someone you don’t trust. Never leave your drink unattended or turn away from your drink (remember it only takes a second for someone to put something in it). Do not drink from open sources such as punch bowls or pitchers, because it might already be spiked. Don’t drink anything that tastes or smells strange and always have a trusted non-drinking friend with you. Also, if for any reason you believe you or a friend have been drugged- seek help immediately.

ReplyDeleteHi Anonymous!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment. You would be very surprised what really goes on with these drugs. Unfortunately, there are many people with deviant minds. I wrote an extended article on this topic and I am waiting to see if it will be accepted. I have a clip from a Dateline episode that talks about this topic if you are interested. It is on Fierce Female's myspace page http://www.myspace.com/selfdefensegirl
Sincerely, Sue
