Stuber said children could use various techniques to avoid being in the car of a stranger.
The first thing Stuber tells a child is to open the door and get out.
Simple actions such as blowing a whistle are among the strongest deterrents, Stuber said.
"She turns my hand inside out, and puts me in a position where I'm the weakest, " Stuber said.
Stuber said in these types of crimes, the child is not going to get hurt at this point.
Children need to make a lot of noise at the very beginning of this whole process, Stuber said.
Techniques for a child inside an abductor's car are also simple, Stuber said.
Such a tactic is common, Stuber said: Young children are especially vulnerable to requests for help, because they are trusting and seek validation.
Another technique, Stuber said, for a child inside the car, is to place an object in the ignition cylinder, where the key goes in.
Stuber, a former police officer and founder of the Escape School, told CNN that even very young children might learn to resist and escape an abductor.
Stuber said that if the car can be stopped or the potential crime can be stopped in the neighborhood, then the crime is going to come to an end.
The cases underscore the need for parents to teach children how to avoid being seized, and to learn escape methods if they are, said Bob Stuber of the Texas-based Escape School, which runs educational programs across the United States.
