I was shocked with this being so close to home where we a very low crime rate that there are still threats. This 14yr old girl kidnapped at knife point by two 40 yr old men escaped by fighting back and then jumped out of the moving truck! She fought back and because of that she is home safe.

Can you imagine what could have happened to this little girl had she not fought back? What if she had been like so many victims and been intimidated by the knife and two full sized men? Instead of a happy story this could have had a horrible ending.

Here are 5 steps to help you and your child avoid being kidnapped. Remember number 3 is key no matter how scared you are or how intimidated you feel. You must Fight Back!!!

1. Trust your instincts. If you think you are being followed, hurry to a place where there are lots of people.

2. Shout your head off. If you think someone with bad intentions is following you, start screaming for help. If it turns out you're wrong, you may be embarrassed. That's better than being sorry.

3. Fight back. Elbows and knees are great weapons. An elbow to the solar plexus or a knee to the groin of your attacker will stop the assailant cold.

4. Carry something for self-protection. Personal alarms, whistles and pepper sprays are good tools for thwarting a kidnapping.

5. Be aware of your surroundings. In unfamiliar areas, watch for exits and stay in well-lit areas. Walk along heavily trafficked thoroughfares. Attackers are less likely to pursue a victim in an area of high visibility.

OREM -- A 14-year-old girl claims she escaped her kidnappers by jumping out of a moving vehicle.

The girl told Orem police two men approached her in a red pickup truck shortly after her school bus dropped her off near 1600 North and 1100 West in Orem.

She says one of the men had a knife and forced her into the vehicle. She says she fought with the men for about five minutes before she managed to jump out of the pickup she says was traveling about 20 mph.
She says she then ran to a nearby store called into Unicity International, called her family, and then explained what happened to store owner Vicat Mauricio.

Mauricio then called police.

Orem police say the girl has been interviewed more than once and her story has been consistent each time.

The men are described to be in their 40's and are driving a red pickup truck.
