went to college in Notts.

there is a very dark underbelly to that city...or at least there was 20 odd years ago.

'This all began quite unexpectedly one rainy autumn evening a couple of years ago in a fairground near to the centre of Nottingham...'

In amongst the bright lights and bumper cars, Nick Davies noticed two boys, no more than twelve years old, oddly detached from the fun of the scene. Davies discovered they were part of a network of children selling themselves on the streets of the city, running a nightly gauntlet of dangers: pimps, punters, the Vice Squad, disease, drugs. This propelled Davies into a journey of discovery through the slums and ghettoes of our cities. He found himself in crack houses and brothels, he befriended street gangs and drug dealers.

a lot of this book is set in Notts...the bit at the goose fair is doubly creepy for me as I was living directly opposite when he describes what was going on in those public toilets. I used to walk across that park rather than round the edge as it cut about 30 minutes off my journey; but I kinda know how to blend in...a lot of other students I knew got mugged in there. and though we knew there were hookers working from there...and the local area (including right outside a few mates houses) we never realised that underage stuff was going on...makes me shudder to even think of it.

the hookers used to actually be useful when we wanted some weed or whatever. other than a friend from home deciding to bring one home back to my rented place one night (much to my gf's 'amusement') we never had any issues from them...

knowing what I know now tho...shiiit...smh.

You need to get a door security bar. Even if they manage to get the door unlocked that's not going to let them get the door open without a hell of a lot of noise and effort. Most importantly though it buys you a lot more time. I live in a really nice part of town, but I always have that on my door after 5PM. You could also get 2 so if they make it in you can use it on an interior door to buy more time until police arrive. You should be able to find them at Walmart for cheap as well.

Since he was taken in for possible child porn charges, I think you are pretty well off assuming you are out of his interest range.


By what you described, I think he does not remember you and has no actual interest in you, but situational awareness is something that I think should be an effing basic school requirement.


I got that book just to further my education as a security agent, but after reading it, people make more sense.

Buy a can of pepper spray to keep on your keychain, and also purchase a small knife to keep in your pocket, jacket, sock, etc. And also consider getting a security system installed in your home.

Edit: Whats nice about that pepper spray is that its small, fits on a keychain, and has an identifying dye

Whats nice about the knife is its small, light, has a locking blade, and a lever for quick one handed opening

My sociology professor was actually in Children of God/The Family and escaped. She shared her story in Heaven’s Harlots: My Fifteen Years in a Sex Cult by Miriam Williams. I thought it was fascinating, especially because she was involved during its heyday.

What a small world it is...one of my professors is married to a guy who spent 18 months in federal prison for bank fraud in Carville, LA, and actually lived alongside people suffering from Hansen's disease. He's a great guy - I met him when I went to a dinner party at my professor's house (which is a totally awesome 150 year old log cabin way out in the woods). His name is Neil White, and he wrote a book about his experiences in Carville called In the Sanctuary of Outcasts, if you are interested in reading it.

If I were you I'd buy this:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BNI4Y96/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I keep one on my dresser. It's very sharp, has 2 edges, light, and easy to use.

Also get this motion detector and put it on the floor facing your door:

you could always copy paste stories to her if all else fails. Also, you might send her the book The Gift of Fear or Protecting the Gift, Keeping Children and Teenagers Safe

I've already said to another redditor about getting a door stop alarm: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0000YNR4M
They're a pretty cool invention that will at the very least alert you to an intruder, and most are able to stop the door from opening any further so it stops anyone getting in. It won't be as ideal seen as you have roommates but I guess you could agree that whoever is in last puts it at the door before going to bed? It's a step up from a lock, but not as costly or deadly as a gun?

Shoot, now I feel dumb. There was a fantasy/sci-fi book I read a long while back where people had special powers. The powers were tied to their names, and sharing their true/full name with anyone else also shared their power with that person. So the man character's name was very long, but he was known as Rap by everyone since he didn't want to share his true (very long name). I actually though you might be referencing this with the "Powerword: Real Name" comment.

Google-fu: I found it. What a strange book.

I might have to go read that again.

Careful with those internet stalkers. They're crazy stuff.

u/Digimountain · 4 pointsr/LetsNotMeet

I read the actual book by an actual victim about Ariel Castro and I am just... absolutely disgusted that someone would try to "cash in" on this by making a spooky story about them and him. The story is already scary enough as it is without non-victims taking it and claiming it as their own.

Thanks for sharing this! Much appreciated.

I'm sure you're already familiar, but if not, there's a fantastic book on this animal: Monster by Steve Jackson.

I read a lot of true crime and this story stuck with me. It covers his relationship with Deb in depth.

I have not read the book but I've seen both films and I know the scene you are talking about. Wrong or not the "vampire" is described as female in the descriptions of US version, the original film, and the english printing of the book. I understand your point, but the official marketing material for every available english version of this tale presents the "Eli"/"Abby" character as female in the public facing description.

see the following:

being afraid of your reactions and 'making a scene' gets people killed, as they end up being afraid to run away or shout for help.

The biggest lesson that the parents rarely teach is - trust your gut. If something seems wrong, then 99.9% it is. It's amazing that you listened to your instinct that day.

check out this book!

Yep that's the same story I've heard from almost every woman from the UK and Australia it's illegal for some stupid reason. I can't advicate breaking the law but I can say that I personally wouldn't care and would carry it on myself anyway I would rather get arrested for having pepper spray then get raped. I really wish more government would allow small personal protection devices to become legalized. ... how about this http://www.amazon.com/Kubotan-Power-Simple-Mastering-Keychain/dp/0985347260 if you look at the commonly bought together you can get that book plus one of those keychains for about 20 bucks and it's technically not a weapon.
