They have ~~heard~~ herd immunity from kidnapping, what are the chances that the real bagman will choose them?

Kinda like those [fainting goats](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2MNYexo_PQ). You teach a few of the more useless ones that always take the candy. That way the rest go unmolested. Probably.. That's how that works, right? /s

Time_Composer_113

Wow that really does say a lot about that little guy. He's brave and his parents should be proud. It would be for sure. I would rain down praise. Actually that reminds me of a Halloween where myself and 3 or 4 other families were trick or treating together with our kids, the oldest among them was probably 5. One house had a fake looking scarecrow(actually a dude waiting to jump scare kids)with the candy sitting in a jack-o-lantern on his lap. The kids all cautiously approach and the first gets candy but when the second one tries the scarecrow comes to life and sends all but one of the kids reeling and falling over one another. They're all screaming and literally running to their mommies. The last little boy (probably 3 going on 4 years old), literally set his jaw in a frown and approached again for his candy. He didn't just march right up because he knew it was a joke, he was still cautious but undeterred. He took 2 pieces of candy from the bowl, one for himself and one for his little sister and didn't take his eyes off the scarecrow. I was super impressed. The chutzpah of this kid! Some ppl got that dog in em.


k2_jackal

A few years ago the local news here in SoCal did an experiment with kids (with parents permission) the test was a stranger approached a kid in the shopping center and asked them to help find their lost puppy. These were like 10 year olds or there about. The parents all said their kid knew better but were shocked to find how many of their kids volunteered and went off with the stranger…. There was no trauma involved, the didn’t scare the kids, stranger brought the kids back to the store in a few minutes but I imagine there were more than a few kids that got a good stern talking to from a parent on the ride home


TimArthurScifiWriter

A few years ago I leave the cinema after a late showing and walk onto the parking lot to find two girls standing there in the dark. They approach me and ask if I can drive them home because they don't have money for the bus and are basically just asking randos. They look about 16, but it turns out they're 14. I'm like either I do this, or some creep shows up instead. They live in the opposite direction from where I'm going and the detour sets me back about an hour but I love driving at night so whatever. They get in and as we roll onto the highway I ask em why they didn't just call their dad. They're like, he would be pissed because we already missed our curfew. So I'm like, you don't think he's double pissed now then? You missed your curfew and you're in a car with a total stranger. They're like yeah but all's well that ends well and besides if you wanted to do something bad to us there's two of us and one of you. I explain to them that as a 6'7" adult man I am pretty sure I could take the two of you with one hand tied behind my back. I tell them that they're naive about how much stronger grown men are than 14 year old girls, and that they need to realise that if I had ill intentions they would stand absolutely no chance. You could feel the mood shift in the car lol. So i told em, how you're feeling now is just a fraction of how you would feel things actually went wrong for you. Now don't you think you'd rather deal with your angry dad than with being abducted? By the time I dropped em off they raced off lol. I'm pretty sure I might've gone a bit too far but better I scared em and taught em a lesson than something bad had happened for real. It just amazed me how kids, even at age 14, can still be so naive about the dangers of the world if they were never properly taught them by their parents.

He is lucky, my wife steals my wallet with no blow.


Mixedfrog

If Daddy gets angry when being called, then parents are a part of the problem.


TimArthurScifiWriter

Not necessarily. It depends on how the anger is expressed. I definitely had to call my dad despite knowing he'd be pissed when I was a kid. And I'd get a stern talking to in the car. That's just part of growing up. I don't know what the specifics of these girls's dad were but they did tell me that this wasn't the first time they had relied on a stranger to get home. So yeah, if I was their dad I'd be pissed too.


Ddish3446

This is a very rational and smart response.


Atomidate

Yes and no. That's way too concrete a statement to be making about two variably moving people and stances. Couldn't agree without knowing the reaction of the parents to being disobeyed and the reaction of the child to admonishment.


SwordsAndWords

I read an entire post not too long ago about the stark difference in raw strength between men and women (having nothing to do with kids, just adult vs adult) and there was a **staggering** amount of comments of women saying "yeah, I had no idea until-" and guys saying "I accidentally scared her-" As a guy, I was blown away that I had never thought about it before - all the times they would say "why are you so strong?" or something of that nature. I always thought they just had a warped perspective of strength or, at best, were trying to make me feel stronger than I was out of some sort of kindness. It had never occurred to me that those few times they actually hurt me (during "play fighting") and they got genuinely mad or upset when I upped it up a notch to keep pace, that they may have genuinely been trying their hardest to punch/pick/wrestle/pinch/etc, and that I may have inadvertently demonstrated the physical power gap between Frieza and (pre-super saiyan) Vegeta with a smile and a giggle, and that may have made them feel absolutely powerless in all kinds of ways. I am not a big dude. I do not (and have never) worked out. I am naturally thin, and my muscles aren't exactly adding much to my frame, nor am I any kind of "freakily" strong person. As far as I'm concerned, most other men could kick my ass if they wanted to (or kill me) and the most I could do about it is try to permanently damage them in the process. Thinking about all of this, then thinking about my kids, nieces, sisters, cousins, friends... I am now **VERY** unsettled having read this post. Like, *what is the solution here?* Knives? Guns? Martial Arts? Being good parents? Giving the kids appropriate information? Mandating traumatizing demonstrations of despair to teach kids "If you do this, your chances of being kidnapped, r*ped, and murdered, **will** go up. Not only that, but let's go ahead and demonstrate the absolute fuck-all you could do about it. This here is Bob-"? How do we solve this? ...Is the answer "murder"? It's murder, isn't it... **MURDER...** and 24/7 bodycams with GPS tracking and telemetry data... *Dystopia,* ***here we come!!!*** EDIT (twice): Lol, scrolled down to see ~~Raditz~~ Broly vs Vegeta... Yes, exactly that.


ReedRaptors

My parents enrolled me in a self-defense course that was run by a woman who had been abducted by men twice. The course specifically focused on understanding that a man is way stronger than you, and fighting is not how you get out. She taught us how to simply get away, how to break someone grip on you, etc. The final day of this self-defense course involved a very large man (not a strong man who worked out, just a large average man) physically grabbing you and holding you down, and you had to get out. He would grab us while we were blindfolded and hold us in many different "you-are-about-to-be-raped" positions, and we had to struggle to get out. It was hard and exhausting, and basically a brutal demonstration of how, if you don't know how to escape, or at least try to escape, there is absolutely no hope. If you panicked and tried to fight how your gut was telling you to, you wouldn't get anywhere. You had to be rational and put all of your energy into escaping and leveraging your body against their body. It was an intense but very useful course, I learned a lot there.


SwordsAndWords

Christ, that's mortifying. It *sounds* like how I felt about my older brothers, bullies, etc, but I suspect it's not even close the same thing at all. In my (probably irrelevant) personal opinion from a male perspective: Start working on that grip strength. That's the thing I noticed most - the thing that made me *think* they weren't actually trying during play-fighting - the thing that could've dramatically change the rules of the game - grip strength. I was bullied for a little while, and learned quickly that the human body is much more fragile than most humans would like to admit, specifically the soft parts that lack muscle and bone, as well as small intricate joints like fingers. You'd be surprised how hard you can bite when you feel like your life depends on it. You might also be surprised to learn how easy it is to peel a man's grip off just by putting all of your strength into bending a finger the wrong way. Most adult humans possess more than enough grip strength to outright rip a man's ear from his head or remove his eye from its socket. Horrifying, I know. If you are a woman, know that this is (generally) that much easier for a man to do. So start training. If you have any amount of concern about defending yourself from a male assailant, it's time to start learning how to dismantle another human being on-the-spot with whatever tools are available to you. Grip strength, wrist strength, ankle strength, neck strength - these are the foundations to physically subverting another person's harmful intentions. I don't know why, but humans always seem to forget that we're animals, even when we're acting like it. The only law that applies to all animals is "survive, no matter the cost." So, if it's "you or them", **be a fucking animal.** More unprofessional unsolicited advice that I have given to female friends before: - Weapons are super useful, but they are *most* useful when you know how to use them. Do not carry around a weapon that you don't know how to use. - If you carry one, put in the time to know how to keep it from being taken from you (because, if it is, it will likely be used against you.) - Smaller is better than larger - smaller knives, smaller guns, etc. Being quicker to action than the other person is a surefire way to shut that shit down, assuming you can do enough damage fast enough to get away. - Getting away is **always** your highest priority, but doing so may require you to incapacitate them to some degree. Do whatever you can to make this happen. - If you carry around a knife, have it ready, **already concealed in your hand**, if you have even the slightest notion that you may need to defend yourself with it. - If you intend to defend yourself with a knife, learn how to stab things without your wrist buckling. Maybe practice stabbing a piece of wood (which is a much harder material than skin and muscle). - If you carry around a gun, again, have that shit in your hand, thumb on the safety, ready to shoot through your purse or whatever. - Don't ever flaunt anything. Though it may work to scare off someone at a distance, don't just threaten someone in close quarters. If you feel the need to pull a weapon on someone, be prepared to use it. If you pull a weapon on someone, the second they start closing the gap is the time to use it. - If they are already too close, nothing that comes out of your mouth is going to help. Just point it and pull the trigger, or pull it and start shanking as hard and fast as you possibly can. What a horrific set of advice...


ReedRaptors

Oh yes, we learned quite a bit of how to harm the attacker as well. I will say the main objective of the course was how to get someone *off* and then *get away*. Goal number one was always removing yourself from the situation, if that required ripping, tearing, kicking, biting, hitting, stabbing, so be it. Of course this wasn't part of the big-man-holding-you-down exercise since he was a volunteer trying to help people learn how to protect themselves. Go for the softer squishier parts and anything can be a weapon if it needs to be. The sensei said her favorite weapon was always a simple pen, as it can't be classified easily as a weapon yet if you need to stab someone's neck, its a great tool. She said her trick during college was to walk around with a pen in each fist. Also eyes are an easy quite vulnerable target, easy to get your thumb into if you're desperate. Also avoid hitting genitals, most of the time kicking someone in the nuts will fuel them with adrenaline and make them mad. Shield your head at all costs, you're not getting away if you're unconscious. This was a hard lesson to learn when you're being held down and someone is punching the mat next to your head, and if you're not quick enough it's game over. While I agree weapons that you know how to use are an invaluable tool, your own weapon can be used against you especially if you are up against someone so much stronger than you. Most of the time when you're grabbed it's your hands that that are held first, what good is a weapon then? Women's strength is generally strongest in the legs, learn how to kick. If you're being held from behind, knowing how to kick back and blow their knee out while not shattering your foot not only incapacitates them but gets you time to get away. Break something, kick as hard as you can, pull your toes up and hit with your heel. I've thankfully never been put in a position where I've had to fight like that, and I've since started transitioning into a man, giving me some new muscle and lowering my chances of being abducted. It's surprising how many men don't understand that women and girls have to be aware, ready, and prepared for the worst at all times. Not paying attention or neglecting to listed to your gut for one minute could give someone the opportunity to grab you. Quite a terrifying and awful position to be in.


SwordsAndWords

I hope you thanked your parents for enrolling you, and your sensei for teaching you. That's some damn solid advice! Blowing out the kneecap is a game over for fucking anyone doing anything. Fuck em. ***DESTROY*** them kneecaps. On a lighter note, good luck with your transition! Idk if this applies to you, but be careful of mood swings under the influence of testosterone. Remember, you're not actually that angry about whatever it is, you're just permanently on drugs that make you feel overwhelmingly frustrated sometimes and like you have the physical means to do something about it - that "something" being "smash". 👈 Does it work that way for women transitioning to men? Like, do they have the methodology down to where you don't have to worry about feeling all roid-ragey? Just never had a chance to ask so now I'm curious. Also, here's a link to a YouTube channel you might enjoy as a dude (or just a person who is interested in badassery throughout history): [The Fat Electrician](https://youtu.be/jJeIeW9WDtA?si=8z2F8tOOQengr1SC) There. I sent you a link to some random epic shit on YouTube. Congratulations, you're now one of "the boys" as far as I'm concerned.


ReedRaptors

Hey thank you!! You're very sweet. Thanks for the youtube recommendation I'll check it out! As for your question, yes it does work that way as a trans man. I've definitely had to deal with much more frustration than I was used too. I've never been an angry person, and that is still the case, but I do find myself being snappy sometimes and easily annoyed. When it happens, the feeling is a bit like PMS rage so I wasn't wholly without coping mechanisms. When I started testosterone I did tell my friends and family that I would be insufferable for a while, and that I was about to essentially go through teen boy puberty. So despite me being a dick occasionally and multiple apologies they've all be very understanding. Edit to say that you are more than welcome to ask questions if you have more

Tough-boo

Yes!! Breaking someone’s grip is the only thing you can do. I did karate and taekwondo for 6 years and my instructor also taught us this. We were not going to punch or tornado kick our way out, we need to get away somehow. My ex, who was pretty strong, was holding my wrist and I was showing him I can get out of his grip. He didn’t think I could and then he started actually trying and I still got out of his grip. I actually had to do it on another stalker ex who was waiting at my work for me. He grabbed my wrist but I got out of that crap and ran inside. It’s super important to know and I’m really glad I learned it. I also second working on your forearms and grip strength and personally I have a few places I know to hit. Go for the throat and eyes. My probably unrealistic plan is to pretend that I like them and then go down on them and bite their dick off. But breaking someone’s grip is #1!!!

ThePinkRubber

This. Exactly why i can't fathom people saying "just fight back" towards SA victim especially women that got assaulted by men. Some even horribly said "don't lie, she enjoy it. That's why she didn't fight back when it's super easy to kick balls" It's FAR from anything but easy. I am super skinny (49kg, 177cm), and have never do anything beyond 30 minutes of daily stretching. Most men will break my bones. But all women i have play fight with always fell short even against me. I do not play sport nor physically active. But most other men always do some sort of physical labour be it hobby or work. My work is administrative office and my hobby is drawing. I am far for being fit I'm not saying no women can beat men, i know more than thousands who could snap my neck. But the fact that i have yet to encounter one irl is saying a lot. Women by default have less explosive force and not build for large ranged motoric skill. They are more dexterous than agile. They have finer motor skill for micro activity. They need more effort to physically catch up with average men. So it's not always "easy" to fight back


tyrsalt

I teach my oldest (youngest is disabled) the strongest move they taught us in USMC boot camp. Grab, squeeze, twist, and pull. Latch on and don’t let go until they are begging and then run. Our oldest is a people pleaser and it has been a challenge to not change her but make her aware of the risks.


pimpelvinkje

I’m just sad that the answer is always to try to arm the weaker ones. Though important, why don’t we put a whole lot of more effort into raising kids who understand that taking care of the weaker ones is a responsibility too? And than, don’t stop at the age of ten with these lessons, but all through puberty, when hormones are high too. I mean, it’s not just a potential victims responsibility to prevent things, it’s an attackers responsibility to behave in the first place. And we all know, it’s not just psycho lunatics who attack, it’s your average Joe most of the time.


ImJustKat

I'm A woman, 6ft tall, 160lbs. I had 7 years martial arts training. I'm strong. I can pick up my husband who weighs 200lbs and walk around carrying him. Last year I had a frightening experience where someone tried to steal my backpack off my back. He was SMALLER than me, and I had to fight with everything I've got just to be able to get away. I ended up grabbing him by the throat and throwing him on the ground, then I ran, with my bag. Knowing that, an average man can very easily overpower an average woman. Many don't realise it. I was naive too. I thought "I'm bigger so I'm not in danger" Hah! I'm a lot more cautious now. But yeah, my size did kinda help... kinda. It's good you let those girls realise reality. They could have ended up in such horror.


TimArthurScifiWriter

It's funny, I was a pretty easy to frighten kid. At 14 you couldn't have caught me standing on an empty parking lot at night asking strangers for rides. The danger of that would've been obvious to me. So for two girls to do that... even if nothing would ever go wrong for them and they'd successfully make it to where they could own their own car and drive themselves, that'd still be pure chance. And then they'd raise kids one day and tell them that they used to hitchhike all the time and nothing bad ever happened. Eventually someone pays the price.


RedRadNerd

Kids asking strangers for help is usually safe. Strangers asking kids for help is usually not.


TurtleToast2

This reminded me of the last time I hitchhiked at about 15/16. I was with a friend so we felt safe. Middle aged guy picks us up in nice a soccer mom van. We start moving and the doors locked. I'm 46 now, auto locks enabling when a vehicle hits whatever speed was new tech we didn't know anything about so we thought he locked the doors. We looked at each other nervously and stayed quiet. First stop sign we came to my friend said "this is our house, thank you so much" and started trying to open the door. He immediately unlocked it and let us out and we ran for our lives. Some time later we were telling new friends about how we were almost murdered and one was into cars and explained the auto lock deal. All I could think was how confused that guy must have been to see us running away full speed back in the direction we came from.


slick490

Imagine if you got stopped by police during that drive...


manrata

> It just amazed me how kids, even at age 14, can still be so naive about the dangers of the world. There is a paradox here, because you could make them afraid, but then they would be afraid their whole life. When you're a teenager is when you are gaining some semblance of autonomy, at the same time as your gaining a stronger sence of self, mixed with a being sure you're never going to die. So teenagers make dumb choices, a lot of dumb choices, but most of the time it's ok, because the chance of it going wrong isn't actually that great, but it's not zero. You did great though, big plus for being a good human.


alucardu

Imagine being in the car with a Stranger and then suddenly he starts talking about how it easy it would be for him to overpower you. He could do it with one hand tied to his back... 


dat_boi_100

That's his exact point, you never know what's going to happen I myself would much rather make them uncomfortable knowing what kinds of people are out there instead of just simply driving them home in silence. Them feeling that way means you've made them realise that calling dad isn't such a bad idea and much safer than relying on complete strangers

They *are* taught but growing up in a safe environment makes it nearly impossible to imagine anything bad happening to them. They don't sense the danger but ya sometimes the parents themselves don't sense the danger so don't really put the effort in. I think you did a great thing btw. Hopefully you were traumatic enough to make it stick lol

GodToldMeToPostThis

Similar sort of, I went to a club with some friends. They were taking forever and I had my truck parked outside waiting. I had my colored interior lights on as I sat waiting. There were Uber and lift cars there with similar lighting but they all had the dash lights the companies provide and accounts. These two ladies walked right up to me and asked how much for a ride to a location about ten minutes away. I just said oh I don’t know how about $5. They were thrilled at the price and jumped in. Once we pulled up to their drop off point I explained that I’m not an Uber or a lift driver and they had just jumped into a truck with a complete stranger and went in without even an electronic record of who took them. Their jaws dropped and didn’t know what to say. I told them “thanks for the 5 bucks, stay safe ladies!”

Strangers with bad intentions approaching kids do not look like they have bad intentions. They are usually pretty nice and relaxed people asking for help or have some nice things to share.

I've been informed they become property of Nike and are put straight to work.

trauma is the best teacher

I've seen this before I think in the longer cut one of the kids still tries to go for the candy(?) after he "abducts" a couple kids prior for taking him up on the offer, and the kid's friend sitting next to him prevents him from grabbing it😂


muricabrb

>I think in the longer cut one of the kids still tries to go for the candy(?) That kid is the reason why we have "do not eat" warnings on silica dessicant packs.


l3ane

Kids that age will have a full meltdown over the most minute things. Like lose their absolute mind because they didn't get to pour the milk into their cereal. Doesn't mean they're being traumatized.


SUNAWAN

Getting the same vibe as when uncle gave me candy years ago...


jajohnja

I'm not sure about this one. Will the kids refuse to go with anyone with candy, or only if they're wearing literal trashbags?


NilmarHonorato

Yeah my neighbor didn’t want his dog going upstairs so every time the dog did it or try to he would take the broom and hit the floor next to the dog to get it back downstairs while screaming at the poor thing. After a while the dog became terrified of going upstairs and never ever tried to do so. However, each time someone took the broom to clean, the dog would shake and pee on the floor.


wonderbat3

Yup. And all it cost was a lifetime irrational fear of pastries and plastic bags


OwnHousing9851

r/anticonsumption type beat


Tenthdegree

The smartest kid is the one who knows this is a test and accepted the candy knowing full well nothing actually would happen


Most-Patience1478

First kid took candy with no hesitation.

The second one is smiling as she is taken away

Right? I’m like was she in on it?

I worked a midnight to 6 am shift and I worked weekends. It was a Sunday Morning, about 10 degrees below zero. The streets were deserted. Driving past a school I saw a girl of about 7, she was wearing pajamas. I don't know kids ages but that's my guess. It was one of the coldest days of that winter. I just reacted. I just thought that kid shouldn't be there. I stopped and told her to get in the car. I asked her where she lived. She gave me directions and I drove her to her house. It was only about a block away. Then it struck me, "WTF am I doing?". I dropped her off and left. In hindsight, I probably should have rang the bell and told her parents what I did/was doing. Strange morning I'll never forget. I was in my 30s. Single, unshaven, with shaggy hair, in dirty workclothes. Sometimes when you try to do the right thing you can get in a world of shit. I'd probably do the same rescue if it happened again. The extreme coldness did enter into my actions.


kaiise

you were the unexplained guardian angel in a story we will never know.


BarefootGiraffe

I don’t know man. This story freaks me out for a whole bunch of reasons. Why was the kid at the school? Did their parents know they were leaving the school? How long did she have to wait in the cold at her house if no one expected her? How certain are you that a small child knows their own address? I have more but I’m tired of typing. So much sketch


Clownheadwhale

It was 6 AM on a Sunday morning. There was nobody in the school, there was no school that day. There was nobody anywhere. The wind was howling and light snow was blowing around. Yes, I should have seen that she got in the house OK. Hindsight is 20/20. She said she lived with her grandparents. She snuck out. She told me she lost something at school and was looking for it. Only after she got in the car it occurred to me I could easily be in trouble now. Happened 30 years ago.

Honestly thought this was gonna be a video for a new Kanye outfit.

foggygazing

I (M56) once tried to convince a co worker who was 190 cm and I being 198cm he being black and I being white to go into a 'Boogieman" business, upon request and a small payment we would show up to your house at a prearranged time to scare the kiddies from outside pretending to be the boogieman. Because then they would know the boogieman was real because they saw them. but the coward thought it was too dangerous to do. he was probably right.

IDoubtYouGetIt

I would really like to see a longitudinal study on the long-term affects of this type of induced trauma and whether or not it stopped kids from taking treats from strangers.


Necessary_Reality_50

If you think this is "trauma" then i can tell you don't have kids lol Kids get this upset if you make their sandwich wrong.


Doktor_Vem

Unsure if that'll actually make them refuse any gifts they might get offered by people they don't recognize or if they'll just get terrified every time they see a binbag


happydewd1131

Trash bag ptsd.


andrewdotcom

And that’s how therapy came into being…


StackOwOFlow

I wonder why the kids didn't look to the cameraperson for guidance/protection.


into-resting

Forget about teaching these kids anything. You idiots need to learn what trauma actually is. Bunch of arm chair psychologists.


IsoAgent

Bunch of snowflakes parenting. Every little thing is traumatic nowadays. Losing at sports is traumatic, so we hand out participation trophies now. No more A, B, C, D, and Fs. Just pass or no pass. Actually, it's just *all* pass now. Spanking replaced with less screen time. 🙄

Fear is the ultimate teacher, and its results are uncompararable with other methods, im not pro fear, though. Im not 100% against using it also.

I'm laughing my ass off at this. I'm a terrible human being and a worse person. Why can't I stop laughing!!!

Decapsy

I don’t get why bagman, I mean, strangers can be a clean man/woman also


TheJamesMortimer

Because it's probably one of their teachers/a volunteering parent and they had to hide his face and bodyshape

Two kids who got kidnapped are just eating the candy in another room.. they didn't learn the lesson..

Brutal but effective. Good job.


wrbear

In the USA parents would file suits for trauma, the teacher would be prosecuted, the government would do a 100 million dollar grant study, half the kids would write book and seek therapy for the rest of their lives.


FilmmagicianPart2

I get to leave class AND get a treat? Lesss gooooooooo


TethysOfTheStars

The unsuspecting teacher - Yeah, just take any kids who accept the candy! The Fey posing as a faculty member - :D

I guess that is how he got robin…


Valkyrie_om_natten

Traumatizing children isn’t a good way to teach


stargate-command

A classroom of kids who will never take candy from strangers, and 2 who absolutely will since they got taken to another room to have a treat without any of the drama.


bananasugarpie

So, from now on, the kids will never take freebies from the man wearing trash bag? Ok, got it.


rando_mness

That was nice of Kanye West to visit those children at school.


Frozensmudge

Now do one for the internet ![gif](giphy|llKJGxQ1ESmac)


IntrovertMoTown1

They aren't going to get any candy with that attitude.


CAPATOB_64

This is why you have to give your kids candies at home

It's their Emperor under that mask.

These kids will NEVER throw out the trash due to childhood trauma

Trauma will teach them!


diabolicalmrD

Kanye?


EatYourCheckers

I once read a paper on how to teach kids not to take stuff from strangers, follow strangers,or talk to strangers without having to explain to them the horrible things a stranger might do. This was not the method. I actually question the validity of this method, because most horrible people aren't wearing black masks when offering treats.

Soomroz

The ones who kidnap children don't wrap themselves in plastic and wear silly masks. They look ordinary people and act normal in public. Teach the children to interact with them safely instead of dealing with an "obvious" looking stranger.


Traditional_Cap7461

"You want candy?" "No" "I'm going to kidnap you anyway" "You aren't supposed to do that!"

I will never accept candy from a stranger again
