It has been revealed today that 90210 actress Shenae Grimes was kidnapped as a child!
When she was in grade 4, Shenae and her friend,Carolyn, were taken by the father of one of their friends (not friends anymore...). He told them he would drive them home from school one day but continued to drive them around the city of Toronto for 6 hours. The two girls were told they weren't allowed to use the phone as the man drove around meeting up with people. When she could, Shenae took a chance and fled from the vehicle to call her parents. When the police arrived, they found illegal weapons and drugs in the trunk. Aweee, that's so traumatizing!
I'm not even making this up when I say this probably could have happened to me and my friend, Lindsay, growing up. We were in grade 3 and going door-to-door trying to raise money for "Jump Rope for Heart" when a man opened the door. There were like young 5 kids running around inside and he shut the door on them and told us to come to his truck so he could get money. When he climbed into the vehicle, instead of grabbing money, he pulled out some cinnamon gum and asked us if we wanted to chew gum with him. I was like, "OH HELL NO!" and then he told us he didn't have money for us anymore. We booked it home after that!
And the only reason I knew what to do is because of these two lifesavers, Bert & Gert:
PLEASE tell me you remember those commercials and it wasn't just an Alberta thing!!
