Thank you.
I am here to talk to you today...
...about the dangers
of talking to strangers.
For I, Mary Ellen Moriarty,
once talked to strangers.
And that is how I became the innocent
victim of a brutal kidnapping.
Almost one year ago,
I was a carefree teenager...
...memorizing my lines for Hel/o, Dolly!--
I was supposed to play Dolly.
--when one day...
...a day that I will never forget...
...I was walking home from rehearsal.
I'd missed my car pool.
And I was waiting at the street corner
for the light to change.
When all of a sudden...
...a dark car pulled up beside me.
And a big man stepped out.
And he was older.
And he was good-looking.
And, um--
And he had a tattoo on his chest.
And then the next thing I know, he, um--
-So, students, I'm telling you this story--
-Aah!
Now, what exactly did you do, Dawn?
Dawn.
I shot a spitball.
Speak up. I can't hear you.
I shot a spitball.
-You shot a what?
-She shot a spitball.
-A teacher was almost blinded.
-I was fighting back.
-Whoever told you to fight back?
-Ugh.
Dawn, are you having social problems?
-No.
-Yes. She's got no friends.
-I've got friends.
-Who?
Ralphy.
Case closed.
She's a loner.
Dawn, let me put it to you straight:
we're not here to get you.
But you've got to understand,
you're in junior high now.
This goes in the computer
on your record.
Another couple of years, and this kind of
incident goes on your college transcript.
