Been reading a very disturbing book by Sanford Strong “Strong on Defense” that preaches what this little 11 year old lived the other day. Long and short of it is she kicked ass took names and signed autographs. Attacked by a 6 foot 2 inch man this little 4 foot 5 inch 11 year old kicked his ass and escaped. Then she took part in the chase to hunt the bastard down.
Eleven-year-old Xochil Garcia kept herself ready for the worst, constantly rehearsing in her mind how she could escape an attacker or kidnapper.
Little did she know her hours of mental preparation would pay off – possibly saving the Brooklyn girl’s life.
Last night, the 4-foot-5, 80-pound sixth-grader was hailed as a hero for fighting off an attacker twice her size – then having the wits about her to help capture the suspect.
“I always make my plan before there’s a robbery or a kidnap[ping],” Xochil said from her Midwood home. “I think of a plan, like, if anybody kidnaps me, kick them back or scratch them – I’m growing my nails out. I went with Plan B.”
Plan B meant yanking backward with all her might as Bernard Mutterperl, 19, allegedly grabbed her in her apartment stairwell Sunday, dragged her into the lobby and tried to take her to another set of stairs leading to the roof…
…Xochil, who called for her attacker to get a stiff sentence, warned other kids to think safety first. “Try to figure out a plan before somebody tries to kidnap you. That way if somebody tries to touch you, you’re ready to attack them back.
She did it all as if she had read the book. She mind set (which means rehearsed what to do), reacted instantly with explosive force and was determined to not allow the attacker to win. You don’t allow them to move you and you never believe them and you fight and fight no matter what lies they tell you. If they move you then chances are you are in deep trouble and have absolutely nothing to lose.
Hat tip Michelle.
