Circle of 6 - a help in difficult times

[intaglio]

I found this via Skepchick which linked to The Frisky- An App that can prevent sexual violence

An App that has pre-loaded texts to send to friends if you are in difficulty.

Circle Of 6 allows you to pick six friends whom you can easily contact when you need help. Text messages are prewritten into the app with messages like “call and pretend you need me, I need an interruption” and “come and get me, I need help going home safely.” The latter message uses GPS on Google Maps to tell your pals your exact location. There’s even an option to call 911 or sexual assault or domestic abuse hotlines

Hope people find this useful.

1. That is a great idea (K&R)

A cell phone and 6 friends would have saved me from some real bad trouble I had in my younger days.
