It’s good that parents are learning this lesson… to teach their kids what not to do.

[@ominousomi1061]

It's scary how easy someone can walk up to your kid(s) and convince them to go with them. Kids need to be educated a lot more so real kidnappings don't occur, I hope this video can spread awareness!

[@JJOOKER]

I was a pretty scared kid about this i live in Japan... If i find a strange i would run like the wind just from them trying to talk with me...

[@jenniferlocke2104]

That girl who didn't go with him is really smart and even called her mom..... All kids need to be this aware ....❤️❤️

[@PakistaniPepper]

Ironically, when a child grows up around people who are loving and caring, that child will likely be LESS aware of the dangers that strangers can pose-because they’re used to seeing adults as loving and caring.

[@princesserika9899]

Yup, that's true according to psychology

[@Charliisqueen]

True

[@courtneyg2576]

But those who arent loved and cared for bt parents may be distrustful but also yearn for care so either way its no good

[@arozpapz]

Not always necessarily true.. My nephew is my dad's only grand child. My dad had 8 kids. So my nephew has been brought up as our king. However all my brothers and sisters really emphasise safety awareness. We do go about over board with it but he's precious to us. ❤️

[@DoubleMonoLR]

I don't think there's much basis to support that, and is presumably based on assumptions. Kids growing up in a safe environment are much more timid/wary on average, as they haven't been exposed to the same things. They're also much more likely to be educated on safety. Conversely those with a rough upbringing may be somewhat numb to normally stressful situations, while also more desperate for attention/perceived care, and may be used to being put under the care of people that aren't well known to the family. As an adult, I've consistently found kids from rougher households to often be overly friendly to the point of it being uncomfortable for me. When I moved into my house, a kid kept following around my father and I, despite trying to gently dissuade him from doing so. The kid was clearly from a rougher family. Similarly a former neighbours kid(and to a somewhat lesser extent his siblings) would always talk to me unprompted, and want me to help with things. I barely saw their mother, who also barely spoke to me. I found out later that the mother was using drugs, and that her kids had several different fathers. There were also other examples. Kids from stable households are still friendly, but more careful, and much more often with their parents or at minimum their friends. Gangs target young people from unstable households(to be new members) for similar reasons, they're vulnerable. I'd always suspected this, but confirmed it when I picked up a hitchhiker who was a former gang member.

[@ifodytv394]

That’s worrying how many fell for it, he was very convincing 😖

[@im.meghan]

Well compared to the US, in terms of child abductions, you are 100x safer in China. Reminds me of that Netflix show of toddlers going grocery shopping by themselves in Japan. The show is called "Old Enough" iirc.

[@Alteronx]

@@im.meghan I remember binging Old Enough with my sister. Man that show was so cute

[@4minutesavedme]

@@im.meghan It might be safer but there's still an estimated 70,000 child abductions each year.

[@DoubleMonoLR]

@@4minutesavedme Those numbers are thrown around a lot, but I think reports are conflating two different statistics. About 70,000 are abducted by *one of the parents*(such as after a divorce), which is very different than a stranger. Kidnappings by strangers are estimated by Chinese officials as 10,000, the US state department estimates 20,000 in China. Obviously still very high numbers, but much lower than 70,000.

[@Love.RosieRose]

I like this type of content because it brings awareness to the parents to teach their kids more about the dangers and not just to rely on that the school teaches them, yes they might teach not to follow strangers but not enough that the kids remember you have to be consistent with them as they are young and might easily forget.

[@imjustlucy_29]

I love the way the parents crouch down when secretly watching their kids. So precious☺️✨

[@loz3135]

Kids are so trusting , its hard to be a parent in todays world.

[@loner1878]

Why todays? Plenty of kids got taken by strangers in the past too.

[@loz3135]

@@loner1878 of course I know that but in today's world we now also have to worry about who is talking to your children online.

[@clusterstage]

If you're talking about phones being used as toys, then yes, it's hard.

[@THEGARNERCOLLECTIVE]

There was a case in england were i am from of 3 men in a car seeing a mom take her daughter to school the 3 men asked if they could buy the daughter from here. she was worried went to school and called cops.

[@user-tq9vs6fc9u]

@@loz3135 parents need to monitor their children’s activities online. Your 8 year old doesn’t need unlimited access to Tiktok or any other social media.

[@abhijiththampi]

This is terrifying, because what it means is that the sweet, innocent and trusting kids are the ones who get taken advantage of. But that is exactly one of the most important things a parent must do, to raise their children to be adults who trust and care for each other in a world that is often not so. This is a thin line, and I appreciate the parents who have to do this almost impossible task.

[@thefallenqueen5963]

The baby boy in the blue hat is soooo precious and adorable I can’t 😭

[@AYOMI1]

Of the many children, only one passed this test, hopefully this will be a reminder for us to take better care of our children and teach them more

[@DoubleMonoLR]

Only one that they *showed* , to be fair, there may have been many more.

[@suvidhijain8219]

when I saw that girls dad too confident in her i saw that coming cause children are really naive and gullible... Parents should always educate their kids for what should be done and what should not be... I remember when i was a kid my parents told me that they would never ever send anyone to get me and i should never eat anything from strangers and these two things kept me safe as a kid.. It's good that treeman is taking the initiative to spread awareness among people abt this matter...

[@liyucarp]

this shows how important it is to teach children about dangers! my mom always told me the exact same things used in the video, like „i know your parents, i’m an uncle/auntie, i knew you since you were this little, i even held you, your mom told me to pick you up, i have toys/games/candy at home, wanna come over?“ etc. all the parents were confident that their child will not go with him, but it‘s very easy to gain children’s trust and make them believe! you can see that even the elder kids will fall for it, not just the younger ones.

[@user-lu9es3hv4i]

Thank you for always adding Japanese subtitles. Japan doesn't have videos of social experiments like this, so I'm always looking forward to it. I also respect the kind and proactive help of those around me. from Japan

I think i saw a Japanese social videos like this, theres one videos when the old ladies faint and good samaritan also two boys help them.. And its quite good actually, i forgot the channel name.. but you may search it.. by Japanese social videos.. :)

The last child was great, she was smart! She knows what's up, I hope every child learns this during their childhood or early years 💗

[@kionnaarielle6543]

The school can “teach” them a lot of things, but as a parent, you need to be doing some teaching of life lessons on your own at home. That’s literally where it supposed to start.

[@4minutesavedme]

This is honestly your best video. It's very educational and genuinely helps the parents by letting them know that they need to teach their kids a bit more about these types of situations. I think you should do this again.

[@broglee9110]

I love how these experiments also help the parents realize how precious their kids are to them and how much it'd hurt if the situation was real

[@overseaschinese2445]

Just goes to show Chenyang is just a charmer. Not only with the 美女👧 but also with the kiddies!

[@babychou1769]

這個主題很好，應該多做，很多人都會高估了自己的教育同孩子的警覺性😊

[@jessedudezx]

The one thing I think is interesting about this experience is that Chenyang has good intentions. If a stranger has bad intentions, even kids can smell it on them. That can make the difference when it comes to their decisions.

[@AjaySaini-hi9uh]

Agreed

[@rachelcookie321]

I think the fact lots of kids have gone with strangers who had bad intentions shows that it’s not true. If someone is a good actor, it’s impossible to tell. If kids could smell it then there would be no cases of kids going with strangers and getting kidnapped.

[@mashmash2812]

I was sad that the parents did not talk about this important matter with their children, but I am glad that you explained to them the importance of this matter. Please take good care of your children. I wish you a happy day

[@DoubleMonoLR]

There's nothing to suggest they didn't. As shown here, one mother even told her kids immediately before this test, and they still went.

[@tatianawilliams]

It's not about parents not teaching them. It's that children are very trustful. My mum taught me to not open our house door to strangers nor to talk to them but I still did it one time when I was very little. Children are innocent, they don't know how many bad people there are out there

[@RohankrishnaB]

my mom always told me not to go with strangers, but a person claiming as my neighbour convinced me to go with her. Turns out she was my actual neighbour but I had never seen her, she actually dropped me home. Thinking in hindsight I could have been easily kidnapped that day

[@like2498]

其实真的要注重这种教育

[@ghalyaaylahg]

I’d love to see this done with a female actress! I feel kids are less wary around females and will fall for it more often. It’s important to educate children that any stranger could be a kidnapper.

[@rachzainhass]

They did it with a female on this same channel spoiler they all went with her

[@TaiwoYemz]

The two last kids were stunned themselves. loool. Great experiment for their awareness and safety. The mum was not happy, as they both went with him.

[@MissesWitch]

This is so cute, I loved the evil smile on the parent's faces when they were like "Sure" it's good you do t his for them, And I wonder how far they'd let you take the child haha ^ ^

[@adrianewendja1765]

Essa é uma boa lição tanto para os pais quanto para as crianças 🥰

[@polpojliekwanjaroen3511]

This is a very good example for how being actor can also do social work.

[@christinesung8884]

In China, many kids go missing because of this problem. The kids trust the stranger adult and left. This can happen anywhere and to anyone. If you find the conversation odd, you got to step in too

[@derekdorsette7782]

Any links to show this? Thanks.

[@rynnxj3935]

​​​@@derekdorsette7782 More like those cases were always on the news especially many years back then. Children went missing or kidnapped(more like snatched) in front of people and the criminals often got away when technology wasn't a big thing

[@sttelary]

i remember my mother telling me almost every single time when we went out to not go with strangers and to not accept candies from them man or woman

[@AYOMI1]

what an extraordinary teaching.. I hope this will be a reminder for all of us.

[@MissesWitch]

I think the main issue is when you're a kid and there's like a huge family, And you just see so many faces, You don't remember them all and alot of them all just look the same too!

[@viyanvinda542]

I was not here for few videos it was my tests I'm Turkish but I'm living in Canada and I love Korean 🇰🇷 China 🇨🇳 and Japan🇯🇵. love you always support you

[@rachelcookie321]

I feel like a reason kids often go with the stranger and accept it even if they don’t recognise them is because kids are told to always listen to adults and not to talk back. They don’t want to get in trouble for falsely accusing them of being a bad person.

Good educational video. Well done Treeman. We had videos at school in UK, but people are clever and learn to be charming, like Chenyang played here. You can tell by the girl at the end, that by a certain age they know it. But young kids need to be reminded.

Parents please show this to your kids. Strangers can act kind and friendly. They dont always look mean and wicked.

[@animegirl5081]

I kinda want to point out that the last girl had the advantage of having technology to call her mom to confirm whether it's true or not or to tell her mom she might be in danger. The other kids (although also easily influenced because they're younger), only had access to the information they were told by the guy and their own memory which is unreliable. I know parents feel reluctant to give their children technology but this case really shows how it could have become a lifesaver to call for help. Bonus if you can see their location with it. It's also really important to tell kids the plan ahead of time, tell them who is authorized to get them and make sure the kid is familiar with them, enough to immediately recognize them.

[@A_y_a_103]

I love these social experiences and you guys are cute and cute

[@hel2727]

yeah, just saying "don't talk to strangers" or expecting others to teach them is not enough. all it takes is for the stranger to smile and say "well I'm [name], and yours? [...] see? now we're not strangers."

[@rachelcookie321]

I feel like when I was a kid I wouldn’t have fallen for this because unless I already knew an adult well, I was too scared to even speak with them lol. I had lots of anxiety (I still do) and would never go anywhere without one of my parents. In this situation I probably would have just stayed there and cried until my mum came back. Sometimes when I was a kid my mum would have an emergency and would send someone else to pick me up from school, but whenever that happened she would phone the school and get them to tell me so I knew it was safe to go with them.

Do not hesitate to warn again and again, especially in this dangerous world in which we have become living

[@Rosee45]

I will do this experiment with my siblings too.. i just want to know how Aware they are about this

[@wiccanloverkris]

This is the terrifying truth in a lot of countries and scenarios. I saw an America social experiment where a man used a puppy to do it, all the children left with him. No one ever thinks their child will leave with a stranger but so, so many of them will. They're taught to respect older people and listen to them, even when it makes them uncomfortable. So, so important to really make it clear to your child what they should do if something like this happens and they don't have to follow strangers just cause they tell them to.

He started to say something in the line "oh but i live right there, im also from this neighborhood so am i truly a stranger?"
