7:18 it’s called a paradox! Great video !
Yo great vid once a gain mr toasty
😍
So ken has a daughter right see if he changes his toon when she’s 16 and meeting strangers online without his knowledge
She never tried to video chat before meeting a complete stranger, thats what "Just don't think about it" will do to your kids. If it could be a problem people trained their daughter not to think of the math.
30 years from now she meets someone in a bar, goes home with them and when the light turns on there are her parents
"You still haven't learned Mariah...."
Hahahahaha
@@Gentlemenpickleesq. So were clear this dude is the reason this comment has so many likes
😂😂😂
Screaming
This show is literally showing her face, her parents' faces, and a location near her home. There are so many aspects of her identity that are now made public. Imagine how humiliating this would be if her classmates caught wind of it?
This video is years and years old so this girl is now an adult and this video of her crazy parents exists on the internet forever. I hope no one who personally knows her ever sees it.
Probably the conversation : Did your parents catfish you 😂😂
Not to mention that it would be SO much easier for a predator to threaten or even kidnap her thanks to the personal information they publicized! Geez louise.
If people did find out and sorta bullied her for it and embarrassed the hell out of her then rip
I’m almost 100% sure this is scripted and everyone a paid actor 😭 I figured it out a few years after watching the video
I don’t know what’s worse, the parent’s or this being literally a “how to lure a kid”?
😬
Agreed. This is so irresponsible.
Holy s***, I didn't think of that 😬😬 that's horrible
How'd he go.from "what's up" to "what are your plans today" hahaha
parents
Yeah it felt like watching a guide on how to lure a kid... Predators who are too dumb to figure this out now have a guide they can follow step by step almost.
I must say this "To catch a victim" show seems like a unique twist.
Alternatively: To Be A Predator
This is going to be a story this girl tells her therapist in 10 years.
Wow! Teaching your kids about the dangers of child trafficking and assault through the internent is actually what all child psychiatrist wants. Try being a parent and not her best friend. For shame.
I have heard many women today wishing their parents warned them before their lives were destroyed.
@@lowellbentley an this is the way to do it? Not a simple "Sit down, honey, we need to talk about something?"
Let's just pay some creepy "social media expert" to do it.
STORY TIME
When i was 14-15 yeras old I told my school i was having problems with my step-dad. Then they send me to CPS bc they felt I need urgent help. They told me to call my mom and tell her where i was and why. I knew my mom wouldn't understand but they convinced me that my mom loves me and she would understand and help me. So i called my mom and she was mad asf. She was calling me selfish for doing something like this and ruined our family reputation. She never believe what i was going thru.Our family was never the same bc of what i did.we wasn't a hapoy family as we used to be. I felt shameful and hated for what i did. It traumatized me.
@@lowellbentley You can discipline and teach your children without traumatizing them you know.
This show actually revels where she lives what she looks like and the area of where she lives with the walking distance spot. The parents should just say to the kid don’t walk into vans or something not this.
It's probaby all BS to begin with. These sort of shows are always scripted and planned beforehand.
*reveals
Revel is something entirely different... like “that cult reveles in killing cats” or some shit... it basically means “having a ton of fun of something”
And revel is pronounced as “r-eh-v-uh-l” not “r-ee-v-eeeeel”
@@Dino23124 lol... chill. It was likely a typo, not a an error in word choice. I can be a grammar nazi too, but dial it back a bit, yeah? No need dial it to 11 when OP is being perfectly reasonable. Save that for the YEC and FE knob heads.

What’s her @ ?

Hahaha
😂
Someone should make a show where kids try to scam parents credit card information out of them online to teach them a lesson
The girl loves the beach:
Her parents: “oh this is the worst response. I can not believe my daughter is like this. I am ashamed. This is blowing my mind.”
imagine your daughter liking the beach. couldn't be me. no shot.
Shouldn't have lived in a town with a beach then. Move to Detroit.
she literally was sending a emoji with heart eyes to show the view of the beach was beautiful, and her parents be like “oh my gosh, my daughter really put that emoji… I’m so ashamed.. how could my daughter do such a thing!” Bruh, I feel so bad for her.
@@alexeysaranchev6118 LMAO PERFECT. Legit no pretty beaches near detroit or the metro area, some of the little parks by the river and Lake Erie are okay tho. As a current metro resident though I can confirm there are no real beaches; better to go up north or west for good beaches.
OMG she "😍" the beach! Oh no! She loves the beach! Oh no! OH NO!
Teaching kids about internet safety is incredibly important. THIS IS NOT HOW
I definitely think it is
AGREE! This only taught her to NOT EVER trust her parents!
Honestly all the things the guy taught the parents, I wish instead the parents would have sat the girl down and taught her rather than doing all this
@@gem4life933 exactly, parents should parent.
spiko 1337 it creates trust issues with your parents and you just had your parents catfish you
This is how you make your child never tell you anything happening in their life ever again.
LOL I already don’t tell my parents anything because I get in trouble for EVERYTHING 😂
Heck the mother at around 14:02 says how could you lie to me or daughter you lied to me and I am just sitting here screaming, “Oh and you didn’t! Suddenly catfishing your own daughter doesn’t constitute as lying!!!”
Did she even answer the get into the van question because it seems like the parents shot straight out of the other vehicle as soon as she got close. Like how dare she even walk in the vicinity of cars.
The fact that they showed her face, that’s so humiliating
Yeah they'll have insane trust issues, with the parents and others.
Exactly
As someone who went through being groomed by people online as a kid, it’s really funny how our parents are so quick to blame us, literal children, for the actions of predators. Lol like I got punished to the extreme and it only made me feel worse about myself and literally didn’t help the situation.
It depends on the situation. I feel like if my parents had done this for me, I would have avoided a lot of the shi* I had to deal with. There are some out there that think nothing can ever happen to them and are way too trusting on the internet. I can't tell you how many people I've met on the internet that were around my age or even younger at the time who were speaking to people they really _really_ should not be, and thinking it's perfectly fine and nothing bad is gonna happen. Sometimes the best thing to do is to scare them and show them that yes, things can happen. It really does depend on the kid and their behavior to choose the method. And at the same time, when you talk about punishing the children for meeting up with predators, it's the same thing as punishing them to teach them not to run out into the road if they continue to do so. If a kid does something dangerous and continuously does it, yeah, punishment is sometimes necessary to teach them. I have PTSD myself and I would still rather have hurt feelings and punishment than ending up in a situation that could lead to my death.
@@ElloFantasy or, hear me out, they sit her down and talk to her about the dangers of the internet and how predators can manipulate things to look real instead of humiliating her on national tv, yk....like do the parenting part of parenting?
@bunn-ii9319 my parents did that. I didn't listen. And yknow what? I got assaulted by a guy I had only known online for 3 months. I didn't listen. When you're a kid most likely you're naive. I was. I thought I knew better. I almost died because of my own actions.
Imagine if this guy was actually catfishing the parents and instead of going to the park he kidnapped them when they got in his van
He’s also in the position to contact a girl in the future. He’s could be like a thief who sells security systems..
that would be mint !
I was thinking the same thing. The easiest victims were her parents.
Now that's a plot twist
It would be a little difficult for him to keep being a UA-camrs in that case. It’s Elliott Morgan. He’s also Grace Helbig’s boyfriend.
I just feel bad that she’s publicly humiliated on tv/online!
Yeah well but they’re teaching her a lesson. By humiliating and traumatizing her and destroying trust forever so she will surely never listen again. 😣
It's fake...

@@007TheDome beat me to it XD
My parents would 100% have done this if they'd ever let me out of the house alone in the first place. The trust issues they created made me more inclined to hide things from them, and because of it I have no record of the 20 year old I was chatting with grooming 16 year old me and convincing me to send him lewd photos. Those texts could've been evidence once I wised up to how gross that whole situation was, but I deleted them because I didn't want to get in trouble and have what little freedom I had taken away. Who knows how many people that guy's hurt in the 10 years since then. Could've been prevented had I been able to trust my parents enough to tell them about it.
The parents: I don’t want strangers to know about my daughter.
Also the parents: Hey let’s broadcast her face her account and where she lives!
My god sooo true
the only thing those parents did was traumatize that girl. now, she'll never trust her parents again:( hell, she's not gonna trust anyone. that was a perfect example of bad parenting...
Are you dumb? This showed the girl how incredibly stupid she was for willing to meet strangers and even get into a stranger's van. In what world do you live in where she is the one who should be mad in this situation?
@@xZero9Ox no she has the right to be upset, this is awful parenting they should have just said “hey don’t get into vans with strangers” instead of just luring her in, which can lead to some bad childhood memories and not being able to trust her parents. Don’t blame the minor, blame the whole ass adults that could have just taught her the normal way
@@caslikesdinos599 - what bad childhood memories? Would it have been better if it was an actual stranger luring her in instead and having her experience the real thing vs this simulation?
@@Godislove7862 just remember that if there was anyone else in that van, they would have snatched her right there and then without a care in the world and sped off. Nobody could have ever find her because there was NOBODY to take pictures, see anything or react in any way. While I do agree that the method is indeed crazy, you must understand the dangers of a teenager that keep repeating the same mistakes.
@@xZero9Ox You're like the only commenter with more than 2 braincells
My mom showed me this video when I was like, 16
She was so scared and it's like she forgot that I don't GO ANYWHERE
Same
But when I want to meet someone they don't
Lmao all this teaches is some parents are insane.
The same experience dude ... same
They just scarred their daughter for life, just imagine .. in the future, random guy texts her and Mariah goes "Dad , cut it out!!!"
Dad, angrily yelling at his daughter: "There are a lot of creeps out there! Get it!"
Also Dad: *Literally just cat-fished the same daughter and is blaming HER for potentially becoming a victim of violence*
Yes, because she is putting herself in the position to become a victim of violence by meeting up with strange men. I don't think you understand how serious of a problem this is.
@@quiethills1999 If you think blaming a child for being a victim you're heartless and fucking stupid
"Let's put non blurred out footage of a trusting, easily persuaded girl on TV so actual predators in her area can recognize her and take advantage of her. Great idea!!!"
That's like one of those website banner ads "Predators in your neighborhood now! Click here to meet! 30 days free!"
The parents: *”You lied to us”*
Me and probably the girl: *”Bruh-“*
Yeah, they're in a GREAT position to start judging her about lying 🤥. Awesome parenting. 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
typical immature response. Parents lie to kids to get kids to see the light. Kids lie to parents to get their way. But yes lets focus on the fact that the parents lied rather than looking at the reasoning behind it. Typical immature response that cant get over that the parents lied. Try and differentiate the forest from the trees
@@SageLakshmi Exactly! She’s lied to them many times about meeting strangers on the internet! And she clearly knew about “stranger danger” because she mentioned how she thought that the park was a safe place because it was in public. She was obviously going to get into that van and then there is absolutely no telling as to what would have happened.
@@SageLakshmi still it isn’t the right way to go about it at all. How is that going to teach the child to be more honest in the future when this breaks their trust towards her parents completely. Not to mention the humiliation of doing it on national tv!
@@carolinh8987 oh ofcoarse it's not the correct way to go about it I'm not endorsing that at all.
It's just... I come from a generation when child abductions was quite common and the parts I lived in even had famous urban legends about child abductions (Cropsey). So back then parents held on to their children a little bit tighter. We didnt even have internet back then so from where i stand, i have to believe the risk is greater now than ever. It just seems most people in this comment section arent willing to admit that and are too stuck on what the parents did to emotionally scar their child, rather than focusing on the fact that at the end of the day, they kept their child safe from harm
they should do a reverse where the kid catfishes their parents
I’d watch that lmao
Lmfao! Divorce rate gonna skyrocket
Yea really...you know how many adults fall for catfishing?? If I were their child....I would set up profiles and get them back bigtime.
@@wallingfordd I was literally gonna say that kid will ACTUALLY be the reason of the divorce so not only divorce rates but I'd say teenage suicide rate might also get a slight increase
and you catch your parent cheating on the other because of the catfish. yay more family drama! lol
Years from now she gets married to a nice man and goes on an airplane to fly to her honey moon and see her parents sitting at their seats "We thought you learned your lesson Mariah..."
H3H3 did a skit like that
So creepy
Trust no one, not even your parents, and you won’t get hurt. What a healthy mindset for parents to teach their kids
I mean I only trust myself
It's worked out for me 🤷
It works the best to avoid distress
Or, don't disobey or hide things from your parents.
Besides that, it's better to betray their trust than to have them abducted.
Which is more preferable? Trust issues, or getting sold into slavery (and, consequently, trust issues)?
@@blobjorn3248 this show showed her face and where she lives like man that opens her up to be kidnapped even more. Isn’t better have your kids trust and teach them how to not do these things instead of your kid thinking that there parents are just being worry worts and leaving at 18 and not learning a damn thing. No it’s better to have safety taught by your parents and having precautions in place.
Honestly, she didn’t even say she would get in the van. She hesitated, she’s not stupid. Her parents came over yelling and she panicked. I feel bad for her and she will never trust her parents again.
I'm sorry but she is that stupid. There were many things she did wrong along the way, the main one not being suspicious when her online teen friend didn't show up and sent an adult man "friend" to get her instead without notifying her, while texting that ahead is a non-issue to normal people. She shouldn't have gone, period. But she was like "ok sure".
The rest are things we don't know for sure, like how much time passed or she agreed to meet someone after one day. Did they talk more, or she didn't suspect the guy offering to meet in a park by her house when he shouldn't have this information. Also meeting up with the intention of being taken photos of by s strange man is also somewhat suspicious... Even photographers usualy want to make you feel comfortable, it's a creepy suggestion, like maybe offer it later along the line... But that really is the smallest issue here.
She followed and approached the van close enough to be forced inside even if she didn't go in.
There are very important things that need to be taught there. This batshit crazy idea to catfish her is ain't it.... Even the opposite. public humiliation. Trauma. Trust issues with the parents. Not even given the right tools to deal with such situations. But she IS stupid. Obviously it's the parents not teaching her well enough, but it was indeed stupid....
There were red flags a 16 yr old missed. I am glad she didn't just hop in the van at least. I talk to my kid about it, but its safety measures. Don't give your last name, or where you go to school, or ever admit if you're alone.
Honestly getting anywhere near that van was crazy. He could've shoved her in and no one would have ever known.
@@sweetytweety1671 reminds me of silence of the lambs
@@DiabolicSun You clearly didn't watch the video. She didn't get in the van. Her parent are creeps.
Let me get this straight, they are catching potential victims instead of actual predators? 🤦🏾♀️ I face palmed myself so hard that i have concussion now!!😂
@I Dk when teaching your kids… try using your words first
To Catch A Prey with Kris Hansun
exactly! and their teaching ppl how to catfish and teaching predators HOW TO PREY ON KIDS. it’s also traumatizing the kid and publicly humiliating them. this show is doing way more harm then good. my parents taught me internet safety and i always followed precautions.
@@cadence6814 many people don’t because they want to spite their parents. Yes this show has many problems like using a real family and showing faces with names but the show isn’t for the family. It’s about the family being shown but it’s not for them, it’s for the people watching. If you want to be good at protecting yourself you have to know the moves that the enemy will use to attack. This is where the saying “the best defense is a better offense.” Because if you have a powerful offense then you won’t need defense. In this case self awareness is turned offensive(not aggressive). (In this case offense is anything that is pushed outward without prior attack, once attack comes then it becomes defense). Also I do know this because I have studied psychology especially in adolescence and with the basically chalking it up to an independence crisis in adolescence many children will seek out ways to break off from their parent’s protection but the parents never showed them how and they were never hurt by the situation before so they don’t know what it’s like to be “on the smoking end of the gun.”
From what I understand that hardly ever works either, even with Evan Hansen. I’ve heard at least that his show made it to where a lot of criminals couldn’t be arrested because of how he handled it. Considering the other shitty things he’s done, that wouldn’t surprise me at all. If I am wrong please correct me
I will give Mariah some credit in that she didn’t immediately get into the van, she was hesitant although she shouldn’t have even gotten that close to van as there could be someone inside waiting to grab her.
Obviously there’s a lot better way to teach your children about child predators without going through the “scared straight” method
Absolutely. Also, yes someone could have grabbed her from where she was, but the parents didn’t even wait to see if she would get in the van or not before confronting her. She was just standing there and they were like “we can’t wait, we gotta do this NOW”
Absolutely. Though I still don’t think the parents are right, people need to not dismiss that she was about to do(and like you said props to her for being hesitant). If this was a real kidnapping this would’ve been a segment on parents trying to find their missing daughter on television instead of a loss of connection between them and their daughter
"how could you get into this strangers van!" says the parents sitting in a strangers van
And what was the reason for the catfishing tho? when it wasn't about meeting that stranger in some more private setting? She WAS being careful and made a dumb choice with the van.... but that had nothing to do with the 'Mason' guy. :s
It's very different when it's the parents doing it then a 16 year old girl going into a strangers van..
@@jacobjones9430 Yeeeah, but, they overreact to her doing normal responses, and in the end, we don't know if she even would have gotten into that van. She looked very guarded, holding her bag, staying a bit away from the guy. Her parents though... it's one thing explaining the daughter how easy it is to be kidnapped, but to trick her like this, just feels wrong. They cornered her so much. And if the concern really was that now a stranger knows her face, name, siblings, etc, then 'why' did the parents agree to put it on the TV for the world to see, without even blurring out her face. Now all kinds of strangers know all this stuff about her. And the daughter? How can she ever trust again that her parents have appropriate boundaries towards her privacy? Doing this stuff is one thing, and already very questionable and a break of trust, but doing it and then having it out there for everyone in the world to see at will, forever? Ughhhh...
This is the best comment :D
@@jacobjones9430 but then they might as well stop the van next to you in the street, jump out, grab you and drive off
or you get kidnapped in a parking area
Man, better never get close to a car ever again
This girl is going to be scarred by this. If she can't even trust her parents how is she supposed to trust anybody?
This is why fear is the worst patenting method
I’m sure she already has trust issues with her parents since she seems to be doing this in secret. You can still not trust your parents while easily trusting strangers like she did.
This is the best thing they could of done ur thr people that have children that end up wired
That’s the lesson that “smart” parents teach their kids. Trust no one and you won’t get hurt. That’s a healthy mindset to have FOR sure
"There are a lot of creeps out there" says the guy who looks like john wayne gacy and just catfiahed his own daughter lol

Yeah and the statistics is that 3/4 sexual assaults happens by someone you KNOW. Aka. family, friends, work aquantiences, etc. Not complete strangers.
Also the yearly stats for it have also gone down every year since the 80s. The world is safer than the 80s! Yet the public census is 'our kids are being raped and murdered, it's worse and worse every year!'.

i hate parents like this
the ONLY reason i could see this being reasonable is if:
1. this is something that shes done often and that theyve warned and talked to her about over and over again
2. shes under the age of 13
3. they didnt humiliate her on LIVE TV
4. they didn't confront her in an angry way (they shouldve sat down in the park instead and calmly asked her why she did it, actually listened, then tell her why its so important to be careful)
i didnt see a lot of context so maybe some of these were there, but the last 2 definitely werent. scaring your kids as a means of punishment only teaches them that doing the wrong thing means theyre going to be absolutely terrified, not worth listening to, etc. and they will not be able to trust that they can come to you for anything.
She's definitely not under the age of 13 she's 16
@@bezllama3325 The commenter above you didn't say that, though. They said IF she was under 13... reading is important.
They can kiss any relationship with their daughter goodbye. That's a major breach of trust on their behalf, not hers. She's going to realise her parents are control freaks, and in 2 years time, she'll be gone.
If this was a real predator she would have been gone but your point is a point that could be made
@@toastedmarshmallow6474 Most real predators are close family members so this experience will not save her from being in a unsave place.
toasted marshmallow if they weren’t so shit like this she would probably trust them enough to tell them where she’s going instead of having to lie and get hurt with no one knowing her whereabouts

I was thinking the same
Emojis with hearts in the eyes... no way she just said she loved the beach, HOW COULD SHE!!
Not only that but the beach looks real
The thing is the girl didnt look like she was going to go into the van. She hesitated and started backing away.
That was exactly what I saw. She actually looked nervous when he told her to get in his van. I'm pretty sure she was gonna dip but the parents ran out screaming at her. They should have at least let her make the mistake first as it was just a setup anyhow. But then I guess then it would prove she was responsible and that wouldn't sell the shows idea of the danger. 😂

Truthfully I am not sure if any really go in depth until its too late. And most teens try anyway.......

@Jacob Amrussi I doubt they actually tried very hard. They are obviously bad at communicating and probably just said “internet bad. Strangers bad.” And that was about it.
Wait.. the mum is mad because her daughter lied..
Like hold on, the hypocrisy here is astronomical
Exactly while they leave her at home to babysit their other kids. They screaming about trust. Lmao
Honestly, it’s the parents own fault they didn’t teach their child enough to not do these things
They didn’t need to do all this, this is just gonna mess her up inside
You never had parents? Hypocrisy is literally in the job description. Learn and don’t let them do what you did, whether these parents did that correctly or not...well....
No
My parents decided to catfish me when I was a raging teenager, and I can 100% agree that this is not how you teach your kid a lesson.
Did you talk to people online anymore?
@@LarsBarrs I still do it. All the time.
Parents: "How could you let someone prey on you like that."
Also parents some time earlier: "You want to film our family while we catfish our own daughter? No red flags there, sure!"
Also show where we live and what she looks like great 👍🏻
Once she turns 18, she's moving out and never speaking to them again or attending any family events/holidays, and her parents are going to be completely blindsided and confused
well atleast she wont be getting in strangers vans anytime soon...
@I Dk not really
@@SageLakshmi yup, instead she lost her connection with her parents, has immense trust issues, and is probably going to be in therapy for quite awhile. Totally worth it.
I think her parents just want to keep a leash on her throughout her life but if she goes to college changes are she will do a complete 360 most kids that we're heavily monitored or restricted or have parents who very clearly overreact and keep their kids sheltered, that kid will then be 10x worse in adulthood or in a college environment. Because now they don't have a leash anymore so time to party all the time and have random hook-ups it's a toxic way to parent kids and 100% I think the approach should have been to sit their daughter down and speak to them like an adult because if you show teens respect they tend to listen more. instead of thinking of adults as villains or out to get them but as genuine people they can talk to if needed
And she'll be a grown woman who will get in a van with a stranger and end up a missing person🤷🏻♀️
Wait.. So they hired a guy, who is an expert at catfishing.. To catfish... And was disappointed in the daughter being catfished? That's like when Spongebob and Neptune had the cook off and Neptune was shocked that a frycook cooked better than him..
He isn't even an expert in catfishing! He's a comedian amd long time youtuber!

@@mrhasdiel5536 can't catfish someone that can't be catfished. SHE made the choice to meet up with a stranger.
I hope this girl is being told by other people out there that what her parents did was very wrong and that she was being smart. She didn't even say yes to the van. She was probably crying because they scared her to death and she's a very sweet and sensitive girl.
Like if my parents had done this to me I would have cried too.
You could even see her hesitation when standing near the van. She could've said no and took off in the opposite direction, but they went through all of this and didn't even give her a chance to make the right decision near the end
I feel like this is gonna be an example parents show to their kids: "I find out you are meeting up with strangers online I will put you on this show and embarrass you in front of millions of people"
that’s literally what my parents told me
@@kayleighgrimes479 lmao that's so funny
Thing is this is a real serious issue that obviously their daughter does need to be educated in, but what in the hell happened to talking to your kids?? Like my mum just talked to be about stranger danger and told me about some real world examples and that was enough. The way most teens are breaking her trust like this just means that she won't come to you when she actually needs to cuz she won't feel that she can
Bro, my parents still haven't taught me these lessons I've had to teach them to myself since I was little. But they refuse to give me the chance to prove they don't need to teach me these lessons either, I'm literally trapped. But agreed, a talk works perfectly fine lol.
And yeah, I literally can't talk to them about anything cuz they always shut it down or make it seem very unimportant and that it nor I actually matter. ;^;

yup
"we tricked our child so we had a reason to be upset at her"
Exactly, you go looking for problems you'll find one
Nah it just shows how reckless she is, what if the stranger wasn't an kidnapper?
Imagine- just talking to your child about the true danger, you know-treating them like an actual human instead of tricking and humiliating them.
How to shame the victim 101. The point is that you need to be careful because people are evil and you can not always trust strangers on the internet. Not to shame her and tell her how stupid she is for going to a public park to meet someone there.
She isn’t a victim lol. The whole point was to make sure she wouldn’t become a victim. She’s already shown she can’t be trusted if she’s done this so many times before that her parents had to take it to this level. She was literally about to get into a strangers van, to go see another stranger who she’s only texted for a day without any prior information.
@@ClownGutzz without any prior information that we were shown because there had to have been more conversations between this girl and the fake person because it seems like there is a lot they didn't show us
@@dragansnyder2786 oh I’m sure there was definitly a lot more too it, but still.
@@ClownGutzz yeah I get what they were trying to do but this isn't the way you do that and I know they said she had been meeting up with people she talked to online before and they didn't like that but for all we know she could have been talking to people online that she knew in real life originally and then meeting up with them and the parents may have not have understood that because they seem like the type to not understand something about the internet and then jump to the conclusion that there daugter is doing something bad
Yeah the public park thing is what gets me the most, it's also in broad daylight
My dad once printed off all my instant messages, and took them to the boys house to show his parents. They refused to look. And I was grounded like six months. He was the one being inappropriate, not me. It comes up a lot in therapy 😂😂😂😂
that sucks, hope you're ok :)
Wtfff
Wow sorry girl
Damn that's terrible
Well it depends on what you said
parents: why my kids doesn't trust/respect me???
also parents: i catfished my kid
When the hell was Elliot Morgan from Sourcefed and the Valley Folk pretend to be a predator for a show? This is so uncomfortable
If my parents did this I'd never speak to them again. Ken is right, one look at their faces and you KNOW they believe any shit about the internet that you tell them.
I don't get the hate. Sexual slavery is rampant in the U.S. Number 1 in the world. Shes getting in a shady van with a stranger she JUST met? Yeah that's a problem.
**How to lose the trust your child has for you forever**
Is this even real lmaoooo. I literally have to teach my PARENTS how not to be catfished (by scammers) because they're utterly clueless. I think most kids these days know better.
Omg same. My mom thinks 20 year old military guys from Instagram wanna date her, nah mate, it’s a S C A M 🤦♀️
Lots of young people are pretty stupid...i know many...
Exactly it’s all 35+ year olds actually on the show catfish
Also before I even read your comments it looked like they were acting
You'll be surprised lol..... kids definitely don't know better in a lot of cases. Still, this is just.... stupid at best lol. All they've accomplished here is to completely ruin their child's trust in them forever.
@@13DarknessGirl666 Not so much stupid as inexperienced and naive. Someone says they can make you a model, and a girl's probably going to fall for it, because it sounds glamorous and exciting, and she *wants* to believe it, so she dismisses the danger.
I saw that episode. So she kept meeting up with strangers online alone and the parents kept warning her how dangerous it was especially because she wasn’t taking precautions. When they told her that any sicko could be on the other end, she argued how she’d be able to tell so it was safe. So they let her test that out.
Based on how she reacted I have to say they’ve probably been treating her like she’s 6 ever since she was 12 years old...
“There are creeps out there!”
The only creep here is the dad. Like, yikes.
Yeah but like genuinely predators are a real threat
So true
You’re right but I feel like that isn’t a reason to do this to their daughter.

Yeah, but will she still be alive because they catfished her, made her believe that all the randos on the internet will probably be her parents again and not talk to them? Show the parents that they need to talk to her more about safety and improve how they act with her, show her more affection so she won’t feel the need to get it from random people who might be pedos??
Though I will say that they handled this the wrong way, because if she does think it’s her parents again she will have that chance of meeting up with the person thinking it’s a catfish

By the time you walk up to the van, they can snatch you right up into it. Game over.

My parents did this to me similarly before. Instead of hiring a social media expert, they invited an ex cop to yell at me. I wasn’t planning on meeting anyone, the person wasn’t asking me where I lived, I was accused of exploiting family. I have past trauma, over stress, anxiety and forever broken trust. I feel for this girl honestly- she never deserved any of this. Now publicised on TV? Shameful.
"There are a lot of creepy guy's out there!!" Like your Dad and your Mom who lured you out here!!! Haha

She was probably afraid of rocking the boat and saying no. Situations like that are scary. They can get aggressive

Soo parents don't talk to their kids about these things anymore? They'd rather emotionally scar them instead
Tbf when I was a kid this sort of thing was handled by a weird troupe of actors coming to your school in trench coats and oddly upbeat songs about "stranger danger". The early 90's were weird. Now smart parents just buy a season pass to catfish, and track you.

@port nut all that teaches you is not to trust your parents it doesn't teach you to not trust strangers. Trust me I know. My cousin did this to me when I was in middle school. I didn't fail the test till I saw her standing outside. I still don't trust her after that. Just talk to your kids about the risk. this is just stupid
or just watch crime shows with them
And then these parents turn around and post every detail of their and their kids life on Facebook...
I hate how they didn't even blur their faces. Imagine a little girl having to go to school after this unfortunate incident... She even seemed very respectful towards her parents, unlike some other teens out there >:T
(Gosh, I sound old XD)

As someone who grew up with parents who extremely sheltered me, limited my access to the internet and social media to the point I didn’t even have unsupervised access to any of it until I was 16, and was told my entire life that basically every stranger is gonna kidnap me, these parents just signed their daughter up for a lifetime of therapy and agoraphobia. I got to the point as an ADULT that I was too paranoid and anxious to go to the grocery store alone and need a service dog to go into public. It’s not fun crying and hyperventilating because you’ve been sick for days and are too afraid to go to the doctor’s office and be around strangers
Parents: "As soon as you turn 18, you're out of this house."
Also parents: "Don't talk to strangers. Never go anywhere without us. independence? Not as long as you're living under my roof!"
I get wanting to protect your children but parents these days overdue it and then wonder why their kids aren't ready to go out into the world when they're 18.
damn my parents were the same, they’d look through my phone and in my room trying to find stuff that would get me in trouble and then play the victim card and be like how can we trust you?? like tf
Omg. Never actually knew anyone else who went through that. Especially my room. I was paranoid of even keeping anything in written form for years.
My mom was the same with my phone
Okay well they didn’t grow up with phones or the threat of child predators in the palm of their hands. What else are they supposed to do. And childrens phones should be checked over and looked through to make sure there isn’t anything inappropriate.
@@ClownGutzz it’s still something private would you want your parents going through everything on your phone? No because it causes trust issues
@@emm4346 my parents did go through everything on my phone, I had nothing to hide. Because I understood that I was a child. It’s a parents job to check a child’s phone, regardless of privacy. Safety overrules privacy. Because if the kid really did get abducted, it would be seen that the child was hiding convo from parents and not checking would put the parent at fault. Or they could make it easy and not allow the child to have a smart phone at all.
Parents like these give me anxiety.
Dude same
@Sudip Karan brah where did that even come from 🤣
@Sudip Karan I missed the part where you explained yourself
@Sudip Karan I’m not even comprehending I didn’t even read that
Kid: explains what she was thinking in a perfectly understandably way
Parent: I just don't understand this
This was super shady. We didn't even get to see if she was going to get in the van.
For real like they act like she was in a back alley it was a public park with people there
And what she said is what is taught I school for internet safety, " always meet people in a public place"
Yeah, for all we knew at the time she could have been getting ready to run
Parents like that only make their kids into good liars. While I understand their reasoning behind doing it it's definitely messed up, they didn't even hear her say she'd get in the van before jumping on her like she did. Also like you said they've now put their daughters face out into the world so probably exposed her to more predators than it's possible to meet on your own
She said “he wasn’t asking to go to his house just to take pictures” that’s honestly just as creepy having a random dude message you asking to take pictures
Riiight
Right? I mean... How are kids being raised these days?? Did the whole "Don't talk to strangers" thing not get passed on?? Someone!!! Go make a Creepypasta on talking to strangers, and make it go viral. They'll pay attention if the media tells them to. 👀

kairimun1988 no I don’t think that way anymore, that was when I was around 10 I’m a decade older now lmao. My point was just that a lot of kids seem to become so used to technology that it’s becoming the norm for talking and messaging to become separate entities, when they really aren’t. Also ty, it’s a truthful name too lol. It’s a shame that manipulation is so common on here though, it ends up ruining not just the victims but people detached from it suffer from the knowledge of it being possible as well.
That mom was so proud she knew what ttyl. She jumped at the chance to be a fellow youth.

Fr and dating apps are a thing lol
Exactly no worse than a dating app
If they taught her properly about safety and awareness, and built up trust, this would be a non-issue.
I wouldn't do this to my kid, but certainly I can consider making her watch the show
The parents are freaking out even tho she's contemplating it and saying to herself "okay its a public place, almost nothing can happen without someone seeing it because there are other people around. I'll be safe ig if we're walking there I can be fine, and I can run if I really have to."
Except people get abducted from public places all the time. But you know, false sense of security is fine too.
Mhm! It was clear she had at least minimal Stranger Danger knowledge, and she also said she wouldn't have gone to visit him at his house or somewhere else where she would be caught at a disadvantage. Yes, she should've been more careful with the van and such, but she at least had *some* sense in her head (no thanks to her parents, more than likely-)
Kids get abducted in public all the time. No one is watching or paying attention and unless there are cameras the possibility of it being safe is slim to none. Kids get taken in the middle of crowded areas and are never seen again. There’s no excuse as to why she should have thought that this was okay.
“The predators are SO intelligent.” Uhm clearly he hasn’t watched ‘To Catch a Predator’ 🤣
thats what i was thinking.
I don’t think those ones are the intelligent ones though.
Intelligent predators don't get caught otherwise they aren't intelligent.
As a fellow parent, I cannot fathom why they are doing this to their daughter or like this.
Imagine how their daughter felt and how do they teach their child about trust if they don't trust her
Maybe they had caught her doing dangerous stuff online before? Idk.
The why of their decision makes sense, they want to have the stranger danger talk with their teen, but the how of their decision is the major issue, these people are either insane or were paid a ton of money. When the daughter moves out, hopefully she can move on with therapy, I wouldn't be surprised if she cut contact with her parents after they humiliated her like this on tv.
@@IratePuffin For me, it just felt very creepy.
Because their daughter is meeting strangers over the internet already.
This actually happened to a 6 year old little girl, the guy stopped and asked her if she wanted a puppy? He told her I'm your mom's friend, thank God there was a witness and followed the car at the same time calling the police. She was rescued unharmed! I'm just glad there was a witness, by the way she was playing in her front yard.
The lesson of this story is...don't trust strangers online. You never know if they might be your parents.

You can see her hesitate when he opened the van door.
Those are all valid points but this is so obviously staged and scripted like all reality tv.
