‘Would you help a lost child’ experiment yields frightening results

We are constantly being urged to teach our children about ‘stranger danger’, and a video doing the rounds this week has proven exactly why this is so important.

 

YouTuber DennisCeeTV decided to carry out a social experiment to see how many people would help a lost child looking to find her mother.

 

Enlisting the help of a young child actress to play the ‘lost child’, the video-maker went on to capture the reactions and responses from the people she meets on the streets – and they are interesting, to say the least.

 

The public’s responses range from ignorance to violence, and at one point, the child is in very real danger.

 

This five minutes’ worth of footage will send a chill down your spine. Check it out in the video below.
