Sure, guy who was just talking to my mom, I'll go with you while she watches. If she's OK with this it must be fine.

cAPTNcAPSLOCK
Just because every parent fears this, doesn't make this a real threat. How often does this happen in real life? Statistically? Like never?
genchris1
Once is too many
YouCantKeepJetpackingAwayFromYourProblemsBrian
Just because it's low chances doesn't make it impossible. Parents want to do everything they can to keep their kid(s) safe from anything.
cAPTNcAPSLOCK
yes, but there is a thing called "video malaise" - the actual threat gets greatly overestimated by "horror stories" (tv, hence video)

My daughter will talk to anyone, she says "hi" to people in passing cars. This is more than a little scary.
jolietjane
That is a good thing. Your child is normal and not an asshole.
accipiter
It bothers me that society is considered so unsafe that just saying 'hi' to people is discouraged :(
warick
Not exactly "discouraged", she's just way too trusting. She thinks that just by introducing herself they're now friends.
accipiter
Oh yeah, that's a different situation, I just mean waving and saying "hi" politely to people, which some parents discourage.

"Don't talk to strangers" is the worst advice for kids. If my child gets separated from me, the first thing they should do is find an adult.
nekozuki077
Yep. I tell my kid to look for another mom or dad or kind looking adult and ask for help.
MadeOfSteel
I asked my 4 yr old what he says if a stranger offers him candy. He said "please and thank you!"...

myvulvaissmootherthanavealcutlet
But the results are beyond devastating, and often more horrific than virtually any other crime, which is why it's so incredibly terrifying.
TheAnswerWasAlwaysMoreLube
I get that, it is a powerful fear, but learning your children to be afraid of people they do not know, might stick with them into adulthood.

Well then you shouldn't drive with them, go to the mall, go to school, or let them outside whatsoever.

I'm not saying it's fully logical, but the instinct to protect your kids is animal, not logical.

That's like saying there's a 1/6533 chance I'll get in a car accident today. I'm not going to wear my seat belt.
varsil
Add a few zeroes to that. Like six or seven zeroes.
Natsumori
According to research by auto insurance companies (who need to know to plan financially accordingly) you get in an accident every 17.9 years
Natsumori
17.9 years is 6533.5 days. This is accurate.
IHaveAPhrasalUserNameLikeThisOneCauseTheyAlwaysGetTheTopComment
Yeah but car accidents happen all the time. This is not just unlikely to happen to you, it's unlikely to happen at all.
Natsumori
The point stands, tho. Just because it's rare doesn't mean you should leave your kids at the park or not teach them not to go with strangers
IHaveAPhrasalUserNameLikeThisOneCauseTheyAlwaysGetTheTopComment
Yeah but there's also parents who can't shut up about it. I mean, reminding your kids like 12× per day ain't necessary.
Natsumori
Agreed.
Drpurrpurrpurr
No, it's like saying 'let's not encourage people to be terrified of something unlikely and ignore bigger threats'.
Natsumori
Why not just address all threats?
myvulvaissmootherthanavealcutlet
I think that's what s/he meant. Stranger danger programs often inadvertently make the implication that only strangers are dangerous.
Drpurrpurrpurr
SERIOUSLY? ALL the threats? Sharks? Lightning? Ebola? Asteroid? Sharia law? Mustard gas? Neo-Nazis? Talk about a miserable, paranoid life.
Natsumori
So, you know about all those threats. So obviously you've had those threats addressed to you. Are you miserable and paranoid? Or just aware?
ARodianInEwoksClothing

Natsumori
Or just seatbelts and not running away with strangers.
MissMish83
As a parent, just because it's unlikely doesn't mean I worry about it less.
Drpurrpurrpurr
The important question is, do you worry about more likely things more than less likely things? Do you act to prevent more likely things?
Eowyneb
Not really, there are a ton of human trafficking done all over the world.
MisterKetch
That's a different issue and scale then a playground kidnapping though
Eowyneb
no, sadly it is not. this is how people get their products. They just pick your kid up from school or playgrounds. It isn't that difficult.
Insanica
I'm sorry but there's over 700 child abductions per day in the US. That's around 256000 a year. Seems a lot to me...
Drpurrpurrpurr
Most of them are not stranger abductions. Kids are most likely to be abducted by a parent, relative, or family friend, not a stranger.
truthsmiles
Partial truth. 255,900 of those are by someone known & familiar to the child. Stranger abductions are extrmly rare and irrationally feared.
Oscill8s
First, I'm gonna need a citation for that statistic. Second, with over 74.2 million children in the US, 700 is .0009% of children.
Oscill8s
The total number may look high, but it's just barely in the weeds as far as dangers to children in the US go.
Oscill8s
The reality is that this is the safest time period in at least the last 50 years, but that story doesn't sell well in the media.
DanTuker
Yea ok. It's on imgur so it's true. Find one of those web pages that shows you all the pervs in your area.

I found an interesting pamphlet that taught parents not to tell children not to talk to strangers but to know a strange situation.
Bloominfreckles
That's what I was taught, as well as "adults don't ask kids for help" (ie directions, help with something in their house/car, etc)
dullgenericusername
My neighbours teach their kids (2&3) not to close doors in the house so if an adult closes a door with them, they know somthing might be up.

Using a puppy is not a new strategy. And no they didn't there aren't that many sickos, that's the point.
mostlydrawing
Yes. Children are at far more risk from someone they know. We teach "stranger-danger", but that can make them reluctant to ask for help.
xkr73
As a stranger, I'm likely to falcon-punch anyone I see attempting to abduct a child. Motherfuckers, get yo' hands off that kid.
Ewido
Uh huh ok. So are you going to be aware of what is happening and whether it is or is not an abduction?
melveys
There was a social experiment video going around showing that unless the child was fighting and screaming, most people are unaware.
xkr73
There's context clues. It's an extremely rare situation; but I have stopped one where a guy attempted to drag a 12-year-old into a van.
longdarkteatimeofthesoul
Good for you! There's research on how unlikely it is for passerby to notice/stop crimes like that so, congrats for being above average!

Well if hes literally dragging them into a shady van then it would certainly raise a few questions.

And even then, child abduction is rare. The biggest threat to your child is obesity.

Obesity is easily preventable, though. It's not like if my head is turned, obesity is going to sneak in and fatten up my kids.

Pools. They're more dangerous to kids than guns are.
Drpurrpurrpurr
Without seeing the stats I won't concede the point, but I'll agree pools are pretty effing dangerous. Moreso than strangers with dogs.

check AZ stats - off the chains

Yea, but if they're fat the abductors can't get away as quick.

Speaking of, have you played Fat Princess? Amazing game. Who knew there were real-world applications?!

nsdev
Only if you chop off the corners.

Not to mention that it generally makes them less attractive and as such less likely to be abducted in the first place ;)
WeiYanZhuo
You should teach them how to ask adults who are likely safe for help if they are lost. For example, a mother with kids.
mechanimated
hoped that in the worst case scenario, the abductor might think the lady was my mom and run away. /2

thereaverofdarkness
you wouldn't want me confusing straight men with women-rapists would you? There IS a difference and your use of that word is offensive. 2/2
airelibre
But straight men want sex/relationships with women, which is fine if reciprocated. Paedophilia is never fine, even if the child is willing.
thereaverofdarkness
Pedophilia is a desire, not an act. It is a sexual orientation. Don't confuse the two.
PsychopompGecko
A lot of pedophiles apparently don't go after children, though, because they know it's wrong. So it's not pedophile=child predator.
Xenshail
But not every pedophile acts on it. I think that's his point. A while back they had something on here about a guy starting a help group. 1/2
ThatRaccoonGuy
What a lot of people don't understand is that rapists go for easy targets, and children are easy targets. 1/2

A lot of the times a child is going to be raped because they're easy, not because the rapist has a real preference for children.

dtardif
I guess, but the vast majority (76%) of child abductions are done by family or close friends. This is not a reasonable fear.
YouCantKeepJetpackingAwayFromYourProblemsBrian
imo Just because it's not likely doesn't mean you shouldn't educate your kid or prepare them. Odds of the kid getting electrocuted >

I think the problem is that kids are taught to fear strangers, but aren't taught to be careful of people they know (Generally)

Yes, but we also teach parents CPR, kids pool safety, and we put fences up around pools.
myvulvaissmootherthanavealcutlet
The problem is how unbelievably horrific some stranger abduction cases are, making them more heart wrenching than drowning statistics.
TheAnswerWasAlwaysMoreLube
Sadly rationality and statistics dont really stand a chance against hormones and parental instincts. Anti-vaxxers is a good example of this
Natsumori
And that number is for proven kidnappings, not missing cases where abduction is likely, but not certain.
Natsumori
That's like saying there's a 1/6533 chance I'll get in a car accident today. I'm not going to wear my seat belt.
snipekill1997
No its like saying you will never ever drive anywhere and live as a shut in your entire life. PLUS this is obviously fake.
Natsumori
17.9 years is 6533.5 days. This is accurate.
Natsumori
Also, I'm not saying you should never drive. I'm saying we should continue to drive... with our seatbelts on. And continue to go to the park
Natsumori
According to research by auto insurance companies (who need to know to plan financially accordingly) you get in an accident every 17.9 years
Natsumori
With our children (NOT fearmongered), but taught how to deal with that kind of situation.
snipekill1997
I was arguing not on the basis of the danger of driving, but that if you are worried about this happening you may as well never go outside
Natsumori
There's a difference between being too afraid to go out and knowing the risks so we can guard against them.
snipekill1997
The chance of this happening to your child is literally x5 less likely than a asteroid impact in 2020 that would be 50,000 Hiroshimas
Natsumori
O.O there is due to be an asteroid impact in 2020 that would be 50,000 Hiroshimas and it's 5x more likely to happen than being abducted?
Natsumori
That's actually scary.
boneroni
I disagree. Overstating danger and fostering fear can have potent effects on developing brains and minds. Also, it doesn't prevent abduction
Natsumori
Manner will teach them how to respond in such an event. I used a game to teach my daughter to freeze if I say "STOP! DANGER!" She thinks 2/
Natsumori
It's funny and it has once stopped her from running in front of a car.
boneroni
That sounds like very appropriate (and fun!) preparation. Nice work!
SomeGeographer
Many times it can prepare you for the worst. I'm female and took self defense classes when I lived in Chicago. Those skills saved me once.
boneroni
That's great. I think that active preparation for any danger is good. I just don't think teaching kids to be terrified can be equated 1/2
boneroni
with wearing a seatbelt. Too much fear can be harmful, but too much seatbelt wearing can't. Unless you're wearing it at the dinner table
Natsumori
Fearmongering your 4 year old has those effects, yes, but instructing them how to deal with a situation like that in a calm and relaxed >

My friend's little sister thought that meant she wasn't allowed to talk to anyone but her mom. So she stopped talking entirely.

Are you bothered that your child isn't suitably terrified of strangers, or that you feel your child needs to be terrified of strangers.

That's why you have to teach your kids to say no. They decide what happens to their body and anyone who violates that is not their friend.

Two-tenths of 1% of all child abductions are done by strangers. Out of the average 58,000 child abductions 57, 885 by people they know.

WebDevJewelerReptileLover
to be fair 57880 of those are custodial kidnappings...

Same with molestation. We also need to teach kids it's ok to seek help and turn in "trusted" adults, difficult as that may be.

see this seems most important to me, somebody mentioned a good solution is to teach kids not to close doors when with adults.

There are some bizarre objections to teaching kids these things. "It erodes trust and undermines authority." ...good. That's the problem.

Doesn't matter what the majority are, really. It can still happen, so the same level of education should be applied.

Hugely. After abductions families would think on strangers seen near the house, rather than search Creepy Uncle Carl's basement.
johnvictor
Majority of cases it's one of the parents that abducts them.
boone1504
I've heard that. I don't know if it's true, but I have heard that the kids wouldn't ask for help because strangers are bad, etc.
PlasticFantasticLover
conversely, adults are hesitant to approach children who are alone for fear of accusations. (this was also tested w/ a social experiment)

It also spreads lies. There are not 700 stranger abductions every day. There's actually about 100 per year.
DeDutchDudeDatDoes
I totally did not believe that 700 a day statement, but I have no figures and didn't want to look it up. Do you have official figures?
gunterleeds
Most of the "700" a day are really just parents who don't have legal custody. These "abductions" are generally resolved within hours.

Is it possible the kid saw the guy talking to their parents beforehand and took this as they were a family friend?
battletoots
I suspect this, as well, but with every single child? Even with family friends, many kids are shy on first meetings.
TheGingerBatman
Alright, to be fair as a 28 year old manchild I would follow him too if there's puppies.

That's what I thought too!!

Wait are there actual puppies!? Take me with you!

don't know why i didn't get abducted when i was a small child.I disappearead on my mom oncebecause an old lady had a house full of kittens.

The best part of having sex with twenty eight year olds is that there are 20 of them.
GalacticSquirrel
Me too! I wanna go
ellythebordercollie
30 something here. I would punch the guy in the face and steal the puppy. You live and learn.
Hearon20
"30 something" that means high 30's to low 40's, right?
Wabjebbers
Points for the use of "manchild"
Eowyneb
Same here, scary
rainbownavajo
I followed some hobos into the woods to see some puppies. They actually had puppies and were pretty decent people.
JohnSpartan117
Yeah, I am 33 and if invited, I would go too
MollyBloomsDeadDreams
A 28 year old can probably fight back, while a little girl can't really. You could punch him, steal the puppy and run away.
stevetehpirate
That gives me an idea!
NewWorldMan
Are we going into the puppy stealing business??
YarTheBug

As a 28 year old ladychild, so would I.

AdmJota
To be fair, he most likely wouldn't get much for you on the child prostitution market, so you're probably safe.
fuzzyjew
Right into that puppy van that's the color of rust and primer. You're god. Damned. Right I would.
LookIt75
To be fair, I saw this entire clip. I'm a bit convinced these kids saw him talking with mother before being approached. A fake cop tho...?
adobesubmarine
Throw in a mention of "free candy" and I'll even get in the shady-ass windowless van.

You'll definitely get in the van when you take a sniff of this magic rag I have.
adobesubmarine
Oh snap, is that ether? LOVE me some ether. (seriously, it smells so goddamn good, I love working with it). Chloroform can fuck off, though.
NewWorldMan
Do you know how rapey you sound??!!
adobesubmarine
For clarity, I'm a chemist, and use ether almost daily. It smells sweet and breathing it makes me giggle. Chloroform is not so great.
SonofBlashyrkh
Ether is the best! Ammonium Hydroxide however is like getting punched in the face just from opening the bottle.
adobesubmarine
NH4OH smells like pure cat piss. Phenylphosphine is my least favorite smell, though. Malodorous at 1 part per billion, toxic to testicles.

It's important that he has the first puppy. I mean, sure lies and rape or whatever, but he's got at least one puppy right?
MisterWaller
Buy your own puppies, Batman!
thatclimbingguy
But, you know, who wants to abduct a 28yr old manchild
Junglesvend
Well, be that as it may, he would probably also be the one crying in the shower afterwards

Abducted with puppies isn't that bad
ImNotAnActorIJustPlayOneOnTV
There are no more puppies.
PreachItSigard
There is at least one though!
ImNotAnActorIJustPlayOneOnTV
I don't think I'd follow...Not a cute dog. If it was a pug, mini husky (pomski?), corgi, or something without curly hair...I'm phucked.
neverknownuthin
I mean... he had the one puppy, why would he lie about having more?
HansGrohlo
And at least if there aren't others, there's still definitely that one. I think it's a win-win.
TheGingerBatman
Yeah but puppies.

I picture TheGingerBatman being tossed in the same basement as me. I just look and sigh and say puppies? He responds puppies.

I bow down to thy username - wonderful!

Then the rats come. First in threes, later, in hundreds
FartBoner69
We'd find a way to escape, they couldn't hold TheGingerBatman. Unless they kept saying "don't worry the puppies are on the way"
TheGingerBatman
I'd be pretty excited about those puppies.
naughtynoonoo
As a 23 yr old female, I would follow that guy without needing to see more puppies.

And some candy?

Hi, I'm Ted. I hurt my arm, can you help me with my van real quick?

(in bad taste) well he would then get to see your puppies while your tied up in the van.

Depending on your fetish, that may not be a bad thing either. ;) (I'm a woman and that's my fetish, so fuck off feminazis.)

I hate how you have to qualify bad taste on imgur now. We used to be a progressively offensive site.
