It's something most of us never want to think about, and definitely never want it to happen.  But this chilling video from Good Morning America is a reminder to talk to your kids.  This young girl escapes an abduction attempt, that happens just steps away from her front door.  With crime on the rise, and child predators finding more and more ways to reach young children, it's so important to talk to your kids about being alert. While nothing is guaranteed, making sure your kids are educated and armed with what to do could make all the difference.

This story could have had a much different ending.  Thankfully, the girl screamed and deterred the predator from continuing his attempt.  The girl's father jumped into action.  He called the cops and followed the man, who was arrested. An absolutely terrifying moment for any parent.
