Wow, Dan. Thanks for that sobering information. I had no idea.

@Christine > My solution is to live somewhere with a well-trained and responsive police force. It’s the role of the government to protect us, right? No. Courts all the way up to the Supreme Court of the United States have long held that the government has no responsibility to protect you or me. Let me leave you with a couple of court cases. Law-enforcement has no duty to protect individuals. South v. Maryland. There is no duty owed by the police, the city, or the state to act to prevent or avoid harm to citizens. Susman v. City of Los Angeles. The state has no affirmative duty to protect an individual, even if they know that person is in danger. DeShaney v. Winnebago County Department of Social Services. Neither the police nor the government is liable to victims for failure to provide adequate police protection. Warren v. District of Columbia. Police departments enjoy absolute immunity for failure to provide sufficient police protection. Hartzler v. City of San Jose. Neither cities nor police departments are responsible for failing to enforce restraining orders or protect citizens. Castle Rock v. Gonzales “Failure to provide adequate police protection will not result in governmental liability, nor will a public entity be liable for failure to arrest a person who is violating the law.” Antique Arts Corp. v. City of Torrence. “There is no constitutional right to be protected by the state against being murdered.” Bowers v. DeVito.

I need to check what I have written better before posting! sorry! I meant to say... "That is why we need to learn how to start listening to God and developing a relationship with Him through reading the BIBLE as the best defense for any type of attack we may experience as a Christian." sorry not prayer though it is reading His Word and prayer combined really!

Anonymous the very first thing she should do is hand it over to God, ask for His guidance/help, pray about it - even if it is a 5 second prayer. Seriously. What God may lead her to do is different for each situation and between them. That is why we need to learn how to start listening to God and developing a relationship ith Him through reading the prayer as the best defense for any type of attack we may experience as a Christian. As Christians we need to start learning how to hand things over to God in prayer instantly and always - it needs to become a habit.

Steve, If you are married, please go right now and tell your wife that if she should encounter a man masturbating while watching her that you expect her to give him the Gospel right then and there. Seriously?
