What to do

1. If you can still move away without exposure to the attacker, reach safety and call police.
2. If already captive: contact help only without putting yourself in danger. Give your location if known.
3. If you are a child and someone wants to take you without permission, seek a safe adult’s help even if you know that person.
4. Once you are safe, ask someone you trust to stay with you, away from the attacker. Tell them where you are and whether you can move or speak. If danger returns, go to another safe place and report it. Do not wait to collect evidence.
5. Contact police only if doing so does not increase the danger. Tell them the known location, vehicle, direction of travel and medical needs. Do not test tracking or an unverified silent contact method. If someone is watching the device, do not change settings that could expose you. Tell police when it is safe.
