    Hi

    I think he'll write it to somebody else and the other will say it to the blind, true?

  • If by dumb you mean mute, there are many options. He could use an electronic form of communication such as a computer or portable communication device for people who cannot speak... Or he could make a lot of noise by clapping, banging on things, stomping, or even just touching or tapping the blind man to get his attention and physically show him that his child is gone. Once he has the blind man's attention, he could find someone sighted and write down exactly what he saw and have the sighted person read it aloud to the blind man, and later to the authorities.

    ADDED: That computer bit is assuming that there is a computer nearby. ALL computers have some sort of accessability options for the blind already installed, so even if the computer isn't equipped with JAWS (screen reader that converts text to speach) it will have Microsoft Narrator and the mute man can use that.

    Also, many mute people know sign language... And blind people can learn sign language by feeling the hand shapes being made. I have a few blind friends who know it. If the blind man knows it then he can recieve the information through sign language.

    Really though, blind parents tend to be very careful about things like this, and if the child is young he/she would either have a bell on one or both of his/her shoes, or be on a child harness, or something similar. If the child is older, they'd probably be carrying a rape whistle or at least be able to scream quite loudly.

    Source(s): I'm blind, I know people who are blind, deaf, and mute (though not all at once), and have done a lot of research on alternative communication methods as well as how the blind handle being parents.

    Okay so, it doesn't really matter that the kidnapper is deaf? The dumb guy could just could just call 911 and the police could take over from there. Litttle kids know how to call 911, so a dumb guy would be able to do it too.

    Wait a minute can't the dumb guy just tell the blind guy, I mean he's blind not deaf.

    Cassie and Ashlee-C. have a good point... does the "dumb" man mean that he is mute? I wouldn't have figured out what Ashlee-C meant though until Cassie defined the original defination of dumb being mute. I thought the deaf guy would be the mute. Deaf mute.

    Are you going to tell us the answer?

    Main Entry: ¹dumb

    Function: adjective

    Pronunciation: 'd&m

    Etymology: Middle English, from Old English; akin to Old High German tumb mute

    1 a : lacking the human power of speech <dumb animals> b of a person often offensive : lacking the ability to speak

    2 : temporarily unable to speak (as from shock or astonishment) <struck dumb with fear>

    3 : not expressed in uttered words <dumb grief>

    4 : SILENT ; also : TACITURN

    5 : lacking some usual attribute or accompaniment ; especially : having no means of self-propulsion <a dumb barge>

    6 a : lacking intelligence : STUPID b : showing a lack of intelligence <asking dumb questions> c : requiring no intelligence <dumb luck>

    7 : not having the capability to process data <a dumb terminal> -- compare INTELLIGENT 3a

    synonym see STUPID

    - dumb·ly/'d&m-le/ adverb

    - dumb·ness noun

    usage There is evidence that, when applied to persons who cannot speak, dumb has come to be considered offensive.

    Okay, assuming that by 'dumb' you mean 'can't speak' , or 'mute'. In current English usage, many people will interpret dumb as meaning 'not smart'.

    1.) The dumb( mute) man writes down or texts a message and shows it to a third ( speaking) person, who then speaks the message to the blind man.

    2.) The dumb man and the blind man both know Morse Code!

    The dumb man taps out a message on the blind man's skin

    3.) The dumb man mouths the words, and the blind man feels his lips to "read" them.

    I will keep thinking..this is an interesting puzzle!

    Thank for your interest in updating YIA friends.

    Regarding corporate communication skills, I would like to state:

    Ticking down the list of CEO's of Forbes 400 companies, you won't even hit an MBA until No. 22.

    There are only 4 MBA's in top 50.

    Life is a great teacher. Lessons are taught after examinations.

    The dumb man can make the kid shout at the top his voice because the kidnapper will not hear him anyway.

    Or now a days, there is a technology that blind man can read by touchin the paper. That can be used!

    By the way! Did you not see black? In that one girl was al the three!

    He could write it down with instructions for someone else to read it to the blind man

    ... you got it wrong. The mute man saw it.

    Therefore the problem is that none can communicate with one another.

    A dumb man can still talk.
