Contingency plans (unfinished)
Meet parents in grocery store: leave items in cart, leave store. Do not engage.
See parents on street, public places: avoid. Do not engage.
Parents come to church when we are there: get kids and leave discreetly. If they try to talk to us, ignore them.
Meet unexpectedly at a social gathering, such as with my brother. Get kids, leave the gathering.
In all cases:
- If they try to talk to us, walk by, ignore
- If they sneak up behind me and give me a hug, extricate self, and leave. It is OK to express anger such as, “Don’t touch me!” Or “Get off of me!”
- If they follow, say loudly, “leave me alone. Stop following me!”
- If they begin yelling at me, turn and walk away. Do not engage.
- If they become violent, walk to car. Do not try to drive car with them in front or near. If they block access, lock doors, call police.
