Your story gives me chills, Cheryl.  That was smart thinking on your part.  It is so important to teach our sons and daughters as much as we can about being safe.  Teens, especially, think that they are invincible and they take so many risks.  I, like, you, lock my doors the second I get in the car.  It is a shame one has to be so paranoid but it may avert some horrible calamity.  I, sadly, have seen over five hundred adult victims of sexual assault, male and female - and have dealt with over eight hundred child victims of molest or rape.  <br /><br />To relate it to cruising, a subject near and dear to all our hearts, I&#39;ve been on ships, sometime, where I&#39;ve seen people consume so much alcohol, there is no way they could consent to a sexual encounter.  Often, the bartenders are not aware of how much passengers are drinking - nowadays, they will refuse to serve those who seem too inebriated, often releasing a tirade of profanity and displeasure.  It creates quite a few problems, I&#39;m sure.<br /><br />On one ship, about 5AM, the captain was on the intercom, asking for the wherabouts of a passenger, after the husband reported her missing - they were on their 10th anniversary cruise. They finally turned the ship around and called out the Coast Guard.  She later came out of another passenger&#39;s cabin, holding her shoes and underclothing.  I don&#39;t know if they will be celebrating another anniversary.
