For Parents w/ Kids. Stranger Danger

Great Video that shows how little folks help. Cudos to those three guys though they were going in for the kill. Any thoughts why they don't try this stunt in TX :-)

Sad to see so many people walk by. I can see where they thought maybe it was an unruly child just throwing a fit. The "you're not my dad" could've meant step-dad/moms bf. But still I'd say something to him for just handling a child like that. Stuff like that gets my blood boiling when I see parents doing that to their kids.

Definitely a red flag when she's yelling for "HELP!". Good to know there are some good people out there.

Makes you wonder how many times that has happen in the real world and the child is never seen or heard from again when all it would have taken was someone to stand up and make sure things were on the up and up.

People are such scum. A long time ago I taught my son what to do if someone tried to take him- resist, scream "Someone help me, I don't know you," etc.

Looks like I need a new plan.

Are there any Parents w/o Kids

Are there any Parents w/o Kids

Empty nesters, ones without visitation rights or who's spouse is too far away to visit often.

Stuff like that sends chills down my spine. For me, he'd be lookin' at the business end of a .45 or .380. Hope I NEVER see one of these "make-believe" scenarios, because it would tick me off. I understand why it's done, and it DOES show a bigger issue, but geez - talk about a jack-up in adrenalin levels!!

i've seen a bunch of these similar types of videos and they are quite disturbing. however, the acting/setup was very poorly done and certainly didn't look very real. noone abducts a child on a busy street in ny city. you don't just hold onto the child's arm in an abduction. the kid would have its mouth covered and would be picked up and whisked away quickly and quietly to a black or white van with no windows.

although i believe people are very hesitant to help others and it is pathetic, you have to make the situation real and believable first before you truly judge. kids are brats and say all kinds of things to their parents.

I had a buddy who used to get his kids to run up to cops then scream and point "he's trying to touch my pecker". My buddy was L.E. at the time and was screwing with people in his own department.

It took too long but at least those guys stepped in.

I think you'd be surprised. Most kidnappings, the kid comes along quietly. This is a scenario where a kid is grabbed and does what they should do. It's up to adults to do the rest.

You'd be surprised what you can get away with if you just keep a confident look on your face a relaxed posture and a normal pace...

During a 5k mile motorcycle trip I visited some family in Long Island, NY. During that time a little jewish boy was kidnapped by someone he didn't know but was part of the Jewish community there. They showed the street camera clips and the boy went along with no real show of being in distress. Wasn't screaming or straining against the adult at all. Some kids are taught to obey authority no matter what and they do so without question in some instances.

That little Jewish boy wound up being cut up and stuffed into the dudes freezer :/

Many years ago I had some vacation days and happened to stay home to catch up on chores. Car goes by on street and kid is screaming and pulling away from driver. Car stops, kid gets out.. I walked over in such a way the driver could not see me and confronted, asking the kid if he was ok... he got back in the car without struggle and they left.. I never saw the car or occupants again.

The plate was unreadable as it was too damaged... or i would have called it in...
