Clever story line.

I saw it Arista,very scarey.

Stranger danger is such a difficult thing to teach your young kids.. You want them to be aware of the dangers but you don't want to scare them into thinking all strangers are evil

would not leave with a stranger
but with clever storys like lost dog or lost child
they left with him.

Frightening.

We did something like this in about Y8 I think in some safety day on a trip at school. A policeman was talking to a group of us about drugs or something and he pretended he'd just received a phone call and had to leave us for a minute. When he'd gone this stranger came up to us pretending to be a staff member at this place asking if one of us could help him carry some bottles of water from his van back into the building. None of us thought anything strange of this and one of the group began walking off before the policeman came back and was like 'what are you doing about to walk off with a stranger?'...it was really cleverly done but pretty scary. It all hit us after that how easy it would be to be tricked into something, and that's stayed with me forever (even if it doesn't really apply to me anymore)

[Kizzy]

Yr8? I would have thought by then not many would, having that kind of session for yr 2-3 would be better.

[the truth]

great example jack. more of that would be fantastic

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

not really surprise as at that age you think everyone is friendly. It's sad we're going to have to force kids nowadays to be aware of the dangers of the real word, thus taking them out of wonderland early because of pricks out there.

[Ninastar]

thats terrifying!

more definitely needs to be done about this. parents words only do so much, it's hard to believe how convincing a 'stranger' can be. and knowing what kind of person they could be. even i would be convinced by how nice they are... never mind a little kid

[Amy Jade]

I'd go and help a stranger look for their dog and I am 16.

Ahaha, The same thing happened with my class in year 6.

[Gstar]

Is this on catchup? I wanna watch.

I remember when I was at this swimming place when I was about 8 and I was waiting to go down the slide/tunnel and this strange man went in with me and I was sat in between him and I didn't really know what to do/say :s I told my dad after and he thought it was strange and then when we went out to get changed the police were arresting the man who went down the slide with me, idk why but I'll always think that he had intentions of kidnapping one of the kids there, not to mention that he was in the kids pool. Scary :[

A bloke asked me to come outside with him at an amusement arcade when I was 8-9, I ran away told my mum and she told the guys in the arcade but they didn't inform the police.

I was subject to inappropriate behaviour at around 8/9 years old by my best friends dad,he asked me in to wait for my friend to come out,while she was upstairs getting changed he was very inappropriate with me,I ran off after him grabbing me by my top,I told my brother ,he told mom and dad and it ended up in court,he was imprisoned as it turns out he was doing it with his daughters etc,so it's a dangerous world out there for kids,in turn I am very protective over my children,probably overly so,I do tell them about stranger danger but also about people who we know,kids seem to trust anyone,it's a shame they cant.

When I was in yr 5 some guy asked me if I want ice cream and I said yes and he asked me to walk to the ice cream truck with him. so I went. he ran away and didn't buy me ice cream.

We had a stranger danger session when I was in primary school and I'd say that a combination of that and my mum scare mongering just about everything has left me riddled with paranoia about how everyone is potentially out to get me , seriously, to the point where I don't go to parties if I don't know enough people there and I don't take taxis at night unless it's with other people etc.

It's worrying to see that but it's also totally normal for little kids, unfortunately. When you're a kid you don't really know what lying is beyond your friends claiming they've got something that you don't, or what they have is better than what you have... you don't think adults will lie to you because the only adults you really know are your parents, who you trust, and your primary school teachers, who you trust...

Don't think it is a bad idea to redo this in High School, maybe in year 7 when kids start to get alot more freedom and go to school on their own. Even if most are aware there will alway be some who could do with the reminder, also it probably has more impact at this age and stays with you for life.

Kaz that's awful, what an ordeal to have to go through. Really glad they took you seriously though, your actions probably saved them from years of abuse.
