Dear robertmfranklin,

Hope you're well. Thank You, Sir!, for your kindness. You may forward my comments with attribution. For reasons outside of this discussion, I do not worry about retaliation.

If you want to reinforce in your daughter's mind, just how precious she is to you, offer her training in self-defense, armed and unarmed. Find instructors, who were in the Special Operations community. Such persons know what techniques work, and which do not.

The incident with the ex-IMF Director - who brutalized a hotel house-keeper trying to do her job - shows that predators may be met with in the most unexpected places.

Hope this helps.

Yours faithfully,

Spook
