The search team “Lisa Alert” (an organization similar to Amber Alert) did another social experiment in Saratov, Russia: strangers asked children between ages 3-12 leave the playground with them with saying they asked for their parents’ permission in advance.
Out of 17 participants in the experiment, 15 children believed them and they go with the strangers and only 2 6-year-olds completely refused to leave the playground.
We want to tell you that in Great Britain alone, about 0.5 million children go missing every year, and this is more than the entire population of Iceland.
The observations during almost every experiment say it happened where all the people around were completely indifferent. According to the volunteers of “Lisa Alert,” they stole children from playgrounds where no one pays attention that what was happening tried to find out what was going on.
The “kidnappers” used phrases that are very popular and should’ve alerted anyone that heard them:
“Let me buy you some candy?”
“Let’s go feed the pigeons?”
“Squirrels are running around. Let’s go see?”
“Your father asked me to bring you to him. Let’s go!”
Some of the most effective methods are requests to help some small kittens or puppies. Some criminals often pretend to be policemen, doctors, or firefighters. And even older children leave with strangers.
The chances that a child will go with a stranger increasing dramatically if the role of the kidnapper is played by a woman or a teenager. We imagine criminals as men from a horror film: they are tall, angry, and hostile. However, we should teach our children that even an old lady or a young girl can be a bad person.
The children that took part in the experiment we mentioned before were asked, “Why did you go?” And the answers were different:
“The lady told me to follow her.”
“I knew it was an experiment!”
“I thought my mother was waiting for me there.”
One of the ways to solve the problem is by organizing a parent committee. Adults take turns watching over the children.
We should do a regular examination of children: ask them what they would do in certain situations.point 181 | This training can save their life, just like what happened with 2 American children, ages 8 and 10, in the summer of 2019.point 281 |
Brother and sister were sitting in a car and waiting for their grandmother when a young man just jumped on the driver’s seat.point 105 | The 8-year-old boy reacted instantly: he opened the door and got out, then he grabbed his sister’s hand and helped her get out.point 212 |
The criminal was caught pretty soon afterward.point 40 | 1
When every victim realizes that they are not going to see any squirrels, they don’t try to run away. And when their parents asked “Why?” the children said they feel ashamed of screaming or asking for help.
Here are some recommendations from American experts on the search for missing children.
– Don’t put a tag with a name on your child’s clothes. Children are more likely to believe people who call them by the name.
– If a child is lost in a huge mall, they should go to any employee of the mall. They shouldn’t go to the parking lot alone in order to try and find you (parking lots are where a lot of children are stolen).
– If a child has already been stolen, they should know how to give the people around a signal that they are in trouble. In 2007, a kidnapper was transporting a teenage girl by plane. She left a note asking for help in the toilet. When the plane arrived, the police were already waiting for the kidnapper.
– In public places, toilets are especially dangerous. Don’t let children go into the toilet alone, walk them all the way to the toilet and wait for them there.
