Making violence ineffective at an early stage.

“Please let me through!” Kim doesn‘t dare go any further. She‘s terribly afraid. As so often, big Grit and that horrid Fritz are blocking her way. They threaten to push her. Kim looks down, doesn‘t move, lets it happen. The two seem much bigger and stronger than her. And there are two of them. So Kim makes herself smaller and smaller – small as a mouse. She just wants to creep away. She can‘t do anything anyway – or can she?
