Shocking Social Experiment Shows How Easy It Is For A Stranger To Abduct A Child

ADVERTISEMENT

Youtube prankster Joey Salads has parents around the world on edge after he posted a social experiment video that shows just how easy it can be for strangers to abduct their children. By approaching children with a cute dog named Donuts, he was able to lure children away from the playground, hand-in-hand, by promising them more puppies to pet.

Before approaching each child, Salads approached their parents to explain the experiment and ensure that he had their permission to test their child’s reaction. Each of the parents featured in the video were certain that their child would shy away from Joey, running back to mom instead. They were wrong.

“Over 700 children are abducted a day. That’s over a quarter-million a year,” Salads explains. “Are your kids safe?”

There is a beast with heart of cold stone that dashes like lightning, shreds flesh from bone. // Bewitched by this beast, I fell to my knees. My mouth babbled madness and mumbled soft pleas. // I stared down the ravenous, gnashing dark maw of a cute cuddly kitten with yarn in its paw

You should not count on your child to have the maturity make distinctions between "stranger" and an agreeable looking person.

I know this post is crazy old BUT: You should be wary of all strangers. Period. It's an invaluable lesson EVERYONE should teach their children. Telling your child "Never walk off with a stranger" is extremely important. Like it or not sometimes you can't watch your child. What if someone steals them on a field trip? During school? What about after school activities? You can and HAVE to trust your child to make good decisions about their safety. Not giving them that knowledge is just as bad as disregarding their safety yourself.
