    1. No. This story is timeless and any repetition cannot be a bad thing. If a member of your family had a need to use this signal and some other person was unaware of the significance they may not see the benefit. Perhaps you need to wake up.

    1. @Snodge Kat I’m sorry, should I have submitted an essay for your approval critiquing every aspect of this story and subsequent report?

      🌹. Yet another woman was saved from domestic violence because she educated herself about how to get help. And yet another bystander helped her by educating themselves to recognize what that hand signal meant.

  1. This is excellent. Thank you to the CWF for creating this signal and spreading the knowledge. Bless those who saved that woman from being abducted.
