Stranger danger: This child abduction social experiment is really worrying

[Jazzy]

Social experiments can be exploitative and superficial but this latest video is a clear word of warning to all parents.

YouTube prankster Nebulousy Salads went to a playground and spoke to parents asking them if their children would talk to him, a total stranger, and walk away with him.

Each parent told him that their child would either ignore him or run back to them.

The results were not at all what teachers and parents would want to see – Nebulousy and his bichon frise puppy were able to charm the children away from the playground within minutes.

It seems ‘stranger danger’ lessons cannot compete with a seemingly nice man and cute dog and new teaching methods might be required.



Thoughts?

I think this is a great way to show people how much it needs to be stressed.

Used to be sweets here aka Candy. But it's like the kids associate the dog and the person friendly.

Well that's disturbingly easy
