cool intro

[@suelynn5360]

Story 1: I was so happy that he became friend with Carl until the end. He is more than friend. He is an guardian angel.

[@jamiedougherty9050]

I know.😢 It makes me sad that he passed away. He saved his life.

[@rdj25]

Yes, he really was a guardian angel. I think he's in a better place now.

[@Zkasow]

RIP Carl. You were definitely a good friend.

[@tannerg4511]

The end of that first story got me a little bit. What a good guy.

[@TH-hy9kr]

The first story hit me in the feels. RIP Carl. He sounded like a good dude.

[@lydiapetra1211]

Story 1 and 2 are so heartbreaking...those 2 boys ....one murdered the other abducted and who knows what happened to him...those poor parents....💔💔🥹🥹

[@starswan]

It’s always males, most of the time anyway…

[@abcdlilbit11]

Story number 2. I definitely wouldn’t have thought twice about freaking the parents parents out. I woulda told them what my son said and the gut feeling I had. And raced down to that creek. Especially after the friend lied.

[@PunmasterSTP]

Yes, absolutely! Time was of the essence, and for all the main character knew, the other parents' son's life was on the line.

[@shawnbbunbbbybbb3942]

@@PunmasterSTPIn the case of an abduction time is crucial and the faster action is taken the better the odds that’s y they say after I think 72 hours or something like that the odds r slim to none of finding the person alive

[@PunmasterSTP]

@@shawnbbunbbbybbb3942 That timeframe makes sense.

[@duetoronomy]

How can ppl be so heartless💔 I can't imagine losing a child in such a terrible way. Poor babies, it's always the innocent😭

[@iheartshaneandjeffree]

Which story is it so I can skip lol bc it will bother me

[@Kragith]

@@iheartshaneandjeffree First one, its quite long.

[@iheartshaneandjeffree]

@@Kragith thank you. I stopped the video until someone answered lol

[@duetoronomy]

@iheartshaneandjeffree ya, Joel doesn't give trigger warnings. I never know when the crimes against children are coming and they really really bring me down. "Southern Cannibal" does provide warnings and has a great voice. Joel always makes me feel most relaxed 😌 ☺️ 💕

[@starswan]

You mean males

[@ldw8280]

Thank God for "Parent intuition"! I'm so sorry for that dad's son's friend how devastating! Always question what your children are going and doing!

[@davewielhouwer11]

I thought the same thing. So glad for that dad, so sad for the other boys family.

[@RoseBud76]

As a paranoid mother. If my child mentioned meeting a man with coins by the pond. For a quest. I would feel the need to tell the other parents. If there had never been any mention of others in their play time. That is so devastating. There are really just no words for that nightmare.

[@karenroot450]

This was a heart wrenching story. That poor boys parents! May they have peace in their grieving process! The boys friend had every right to feel what he did, he was literally drug into trying to find his friend and not even being aware of the danger and trauma. Kudos to his dad for questioning this play encounter. If only his brain had engaged on this scenario quicker it might have ended differently. No I don’t mean to blame him. Let’s Read you tell stories with such compassion and great comments regarding some of them. Well, I’m just assuming this is you and not the actual person that wrote the encounter. Another great video Let’s Read!! Keep investigating and rooting out other True stories. You fill a niche on the UTUBE platform!! Thanks!

[@heyitsnoreen]

My mom always taught me to never passively listen to a child. Always actively listen because they could be telling you something important.

[@brittanyarford6353]

It really annoyed me how it downplayed it. He should’ve told the other parents everything immediately.

[@SimplyGB]

R.I.P Carl… you sounded like one of the truest friends a person could have… 🙏🏽🤍

[@MamaSpudzTV]

The 2nd story is heartbreaking 😢

[@thecatatemyhomework]

The story about the man at the pond, the father was talking to the kid's parents and doesn't tell them that there may be a man at the pond because he doesn't want to alarm them. That is totally ridiculous. It's better for them to be wrongly alarmed than to have their kid kidnapped.

[@shawnbbunbbbybbb3942]

Yea I mean I understand that most likely it’s probably nothing and u don’t wanna worry them but very sadly this was one of the few times it wasn’t nothing and even if it was when it comes to the safety and well-being of a child there’s absolutely no reason to take a chance and he shoulda had one of the kids parents come with him cause like u said it’s better to be worried and maybe even look like a psycho only to find out nothings wrong than to do nothing and god forbid something terrible happens like it unfortunately did

[@nunuthings1945]

He wasted valuable time walking with his kid, had he told the parents over the phone, they probably would have rushed there.

[@ianbrinkley5968]

It’s crazy looking back on your childhood, the dangers you never recognized. Once me and my best friend were biking and for whatever reason followed this hobo down a secluded trail. The more dude talked the less he made sense. Then he left and said he had something to show us real quick and me and my buddy just ran away as quick as possible but most definitely avoided something bad there 😂

[@lilacmollymoo]

Wow, my heart goes out to the people affected by these stories ❤ Thanks for another great collection ❤

[@purpose007007]

Carl is EXACTLY the reason why I've always chosen the "underdogs" of the crowd. R.I.P. to Carl and that poor kid that was unalived. The father that chose not to ALERT those parents to his suspicions was wrong. He bought that PED a lot of time. And I was utterly confused why that boy parents didn't automatically panic when the friend father showed up to their house stating he hadn't seen their son! I personally would've panicked then. My GOODNESS. 😢 Sorry that that little imaginative boy was taken advantage of by that PED.

[@buhbuh9846]

Story 2 dad was completely irresponsible for not alerting the kids' parents IMMEDIATELY. He might have even cause the kid not to be found in time

[@PunmasterSTP]

Absolutely. When little kids are involved, if you know of something suspicious, speak up.

[@FireStick-nu4pn]

You’re amazing Joel! Keep up the great work! 💙

[@jeannabean8547]

Fantastic! Time to water the garden. Thanks for something worthwhile to listen to 😁

[@Blankoid82]

To friends like Carl.

[@nakitahmorris1695]

People like the man in story 2 is why these things happen as much as they do. If your instincts are going crazy and you know your sons friends plans have changed behind his parents back it is your duty to say something

[@natursify8523]

Exactly that part annoyed me so much.

[@RoseBud76]

​@@natursify8523Me too. I would have called his parents. I would have went and checked as well. My child or not. I will protect all children.

[@johannessmithenstein]

They were male children. Pardon me but I don't care.

[@chopsandtoots]

​@@johannessmithensteinWhat is wrong with you?

[@chopsandtoots]

Agree, the amount of people who brush off crazy red flags are basically failed Darwin experiments. "My dad brain finally kicked in" no it really didn't my guy. I would have immediately called the parents the second there was a mention of "man with gold coins", not sit around idle and wonder if it was make believe or not. It is ALWAYS better to come off as paranoid than to brush off legitimate red flags.

[@DaLump89]

To the lad in the UK, cops make you pull up your shirt and turn around so they can make sure you don’t have any weapons hidden.

[@lukehemingway4224]

Imagine it would have been to see if he had a bomb vest based on the story

[@DaLump89]

@@lukehemingway4224 like I said. To check for weapons.

[@Pr0digyZRX]

In story 2 I think old dad doesn't realize how smart kids are. I bet money his son had a better idea than he thought. Not that he knew exactly what was going on... but he knew his dad was there for a reason and it was a serious situation. That's why he didn't argue or ask too many questions. Kids are much smarter than parents give them credit for. They know when we're in protective mode and they understand that we only get like that cause there's a reason to

[@pam190]

Yep. With the internet yep kids are more knowledgeable.

[@shawnbbunbbbybbb3942]

They might not fully understand the situation or what’s potentially happening but I feel like kids r very good at picking up on emotions. I think that’s y when a baby or toddler falls or something and isn’t really hurt their reaction is based on the parents if they’re smiling and acting like everything’s on the kid is usually fine but if they rush over looking frantic like omg r u ok r u ok that’s when they freak out and cry because they see the way the parent reacted and go off of that.

[@patsyc.romero8197]

God bless Carl and every other friend like him ❤

[@venusianqueen]

I'm from Barnsley, and I enjoyed hearing you say some of our slang, like 'bricking it' and 'cacking' 😂😂

[@chopsandtoots]

The dad from story 1 was absolutely correct. It's funny how (if the parents aren't abusive or neglectful) they're absolutely spot on when it comes to spotting shitty behavior. I don't have kids and I'm in my 30's but I know I'd be the same way.

Props to Carl for continuing to try to talk the protagonist of the first story out of meeting on the bridge even when he got yelled at. That protagonist was a real dirtbag. Also, this is pretty random, but does anyone else remember "New Town" from Fireman Sam? 😆

[@Lorie336]

That second story is every parent's worst nightmare. So heartbreaking and I know growing up we weren't as supervised, but we had the stranger danger talk. I was born in 1981, so we were another generation where you couldn't get a hold of us. If either of my sins wanted to play with their buddies at the pond, yo better believe I'm accompanying and keeping an eye out while they play. It's sad that kids can't be kids

[@mleighqs]

[@ms.krueger2660]

I live behind a convenience store. About 20 years ago the police came to my home and said stay inside, lock your doors. Also told our neighbors. The SWAT team came In a big truck and went all out in our yards looking in every shed and any place a person could hide. Two men had ran through our yard and behind my home is a fence and a huge pasture. They think the guys ran through the pasture which is not my property! Was very scary to see a SWAT team in my yard!!😱. We have 6 acres. More than once we have had life flight land in our field!! Bad wrecks. Just two weeks ago the police were chasing a guy through our neighbors yard and had to let the police dog put him down. We found out later the man had guns. It could have been so bad. Stray bullets!!😱. We really live in a good place. I have been living here almost 50 years. This type of thing has happened 3 or 4 times. Nowhere is 100 percent safe!!

In Story 1: The narrator and/or Carl should've gone to the police with their experience, the confession was way more lenient than what Carl overheard. Going to the police could have easily gotten their sentence to be worse. I know that the story is most likely fictional, but it bugs me anyways

[@josiegipson90]

​@@Unknown000-g9kNew channels promote their channels on other narrators videos all the time. I've read the comments criticizing this guy and it's absolutely ridiculous. You all act like Let's Read wasn't supported during his come up. He was supported and promoted and given collaborations. You probably haven't been here long enough to remember all the creepypasta uploads and the reading Bible scriptures back in the beginning. Let's Read is where he is today because of community support, it hurts absolutely nothing to pass on knowledge and to support the next generation of horror narrators.
