"Rad" kids

During this year, Kaylee's school has had a few of the grades in what is called th "rad" kids program. At first I just thought it was some dumb excuse to get rid of the P.E. program, but after seeing this, I am impressed. It stands for Resisting Aggression Defensively. Throughout the last 5-6 months, she was taught how to resist others, and how to fight back. They also drill them on the whole password thing, and then how to call 911. These pictures show her calling 911 after an "Attacker" has tried to take her. Notice how huge the guy was! He was about 6'8" to begin with, and then he straps on his protective gear and he literally looked like a transformer! Jaynee said he was "scawee" (scary). This is also a picture of her defending herself. She used back kicks(that is what she called them) and some sort of elbow throw move. If my camera would have been fast enough, he picked her all the way up and she was kicking him in the groin, and then she finally threw an elbow and he put her down. But my camera was not cooperating so you are seeing the end of her little show. It was pretty cool though.





Dialing 911 to tell them about her "Attacker"-she looks really scared don't you think?
This is where punched him and aimed right for his eyes. I guess that is one of the things they taught them to aim for. Seriously for as big as he was, I would have been scared!
This is right after he put her down, and then she elbows him in the face and he pretends to fall over. I guess there have actually been 50 kids in the US that have been saved by using their rad kids techniques, so I really support this program after seeing th confidence it gave her.
