An Ontario-based TikToker named Spencer Barbosa, 18, is going viral for her videos sharing personal safety tips for women.
- When being grabbed or potentially abducted, women should 'scream' 'bark,' bite, or even pee on their attacker, she says.
- Women running alone shouldn't wear their hair in a ponytail because it's easy to grab, and bear spray is a good substitute for pepper spray.
- She urges people to stop sharing too many personal details and location on social media and to keep a key fob with a panic button by the bed.
- Women living alone can leave dirty men's work boots outside to scare off intruders.
- She says to make eye contact with everyone around you and try never to be alone.
- Never go into a stairwell. Use an elevator.
- Keep your keys by your bedside, not by your front door.
