How These Kids in Scary Situations Got Help 

That poor bus kid. He held it together as long as he could but as soon as he knew he was with a safe adult, he just burst into tears

My girl called him a "tricky man"...lol. Thank you parents for teaching your children situational awareness!

This is why parents need to teach their kids about "stranger danger" no matter how uncomfortable. It can save their lives

I love how Max's mum just opened her arms to him straightaway and told him not to worry

The fact that little boy’s reaction when kicked off the bus was that he didn’t want his mom worried about him really hit me. What an angel.

The little boy was lost and all he cared about was his mother worrying about him that's a lil trooper right there

That fn bus driver needs to be fired and charged for child abuse. Because leaving a child to fend for themselves and put them in harms way IS abuse. Disgusting person.

The first girl is so aware of danger omg! She took action really fast, so small and so smart.

I love how the little girl refers to predators as tricky people. Smart girl

The parents taught their kids well

I remember a lady pulling up one time and said she was looking for her dog. I felt uneasy and ran inside and told my dad. Thankfully, she truly was looking for her dog, but you can never be too safe!

1:18 as a teenage girl i am so glad this hand gesture exists. It gives a sense of comfort knowing that if im ever in danger i can make a simple hand gesture and be rescued. The only time i will ever thank tiktok.

Notice how the boy cared more about his mom's feelings than he did that he was lost?? What a son.

The last kid melted my heart. "I don't want my mom to worry about me"... What a sweet boy!

The driver who dropped off that little boy even after he said it was not his stop is a monster! I hope he got fired and that charges were filed against him! If he has no sympathy for his passengers, then he has no business being a driver! If that kid was kidnapped or hit by a vehicle, the driver is the one to blame!

The little boy (Quincy I believe) that the bus driver left at the wrong stop...the little boy had me in tears. I'm glad Max's mom was there to help him. A million hugs for the little boy 🤗

That mom needs to sue the heck out of the bus company 😒

i almost cried for the last little boy, being a mother imagining my child being scared and “lost” like that breaks me down breaks my heart to pieces , i’m so glad maxs mom was home 💜 thank you maxs mom 🥹

It's scary to think there is such horrible scumbags roaming around out there . Shout out to those kids parents and peers for teaching them how to stay safe .

That bus driver should be charged for Child Neglect

The last kid broke my heart 😢

So scary for those kids. Glad they were all safe.

That bus driver needs to be arrested in my opinion for child endangerment. So many things could’ve happened to that little boy. THANK GOD he is friends with Max!

Tricky man is the best way to say it. Not stranger danger. Because most kids who were saved, were from strangers

UPDATE: It was a substitute driver and he was fired from the school district. The family used to live somewhere else in another area, so the boy wouldn't have been able to walk home. The records were updated, though, and he was never let out at the wrong address before this. No idea why he was randomly dropped off where he never lived.

Now if only parents would recognize the dangers within their own family. If your kids act differently around certain family members, then it's time to stop letting said family members around.

That last little boy broke my heart. "I don't want my mom to worry about me." He's so precious.

That Young Boy at the gift shop was actually pretty cunning. Good job.

1:15...I've never heard of this hand gesture for help. This needs to be shared to as many people as possible.

I was in college then I went to a mall and there's this guy, a tall man with a cap approached me and asked me to go with him. He kept on following me inside the mall no matter how I tell him to leave me alone and I went to the exit/entrance door where there were guards and that's the time he walked away from me. I saw him again the other day in the mall.😬

The girl that called him a tricky man was so cute good for her

I can only imagine the amount of panic and fear just being abandoned at a bus stop like that, at any age -

the mom in the first video is an AMAZING mother, she taught her kids about strangers danger, and kidnapping, without traumatizing them.

Just imagine if that last kid took "help" from a stranger and got in the wrong person's car. That bus driver would be SOLELY responsible. That is totally unacceptable to leave a child to fend for themselves. I hope he was let go.

“Never go with a tricky person because they’ll try and take you to a bad place.” What an excellent age-appropriate way of explaining stranger danger.

What kind of bus driver tells a kid to get off at the wrong stop?! That stop could have been several neighborhoods away! The kid could have gotten hurt or worse! I’m so glad the boy is safe since he recognized his friends home. But that was SO not okay for the bus driver to do that to a child!!

The last one made me cry. My daughter started school on her fifth birthday. At the beginning of December we had a bad snow storm. I picked her up after school everyday but was late by five minutes because of the weather. They went to a sitter in the morning so she didn’t know her way back to the sisters house and the sitters daughter didn’t go to school that day. When I got to the school and was told the teacher made my daughter leave I went to find her. She was about a block away at a stop sign crying because she didn’t know where to go. It beside my heart. I called the Principal the next day and he had no compassion, was told I should have made it in time. She could have been taken. 🤬 As the parents we should have taught her the way to the sisters house.

When I was 11 and my brother 8, he got lost in a crowded street in a busy city, when out with my old grandma. My parents were horrified when my grandma came home without the child. While they were panicking and totally lost, a good Samaritan picked up my brother because he was crying in a corner and dropped him home. He was too young to remember the street address but still remembered the street name and we were all outside, and there he came in a strangers vehicle but safe. I'll never forget this incident.

THAT LAST ONE BROKE MY HEART! 💔😭 THAT POOR LITTLE BOY WAS WORRIED ABOUT HIS MOM WORRYING ABOUT HIM!

I am so proud of every single one of these kids. Good job guys!!

I am literally crying about the boy dropped off by the bus driver. That breaks my heart!!!! Thank God for GOOD PEOPLE and he was smart to recognize a friends home with a trusted adult.

Thank you lord for keeping these angels safe

The little boy in the gift shop asking the lady to pretend to be his mom? That got me, I welled up. So frightening for these kids

Nothing on this planet is more terrifying than your child in danger. Doesn't matter what country you're in, race, religion,etc. It's a global feeling every parent can understand.

The bus driver story reminds me of two different situations I've had with taxi drivers. When I was around 13, I had to get taxis home from school due to the awkward location and the tiny size of the school. So one day the taxi broke down on an A-road and instead of calling for a backup car or even just letting me call my mum, he told me to get out on the side of the busy carriageway with no footpath. A few miles away from home. What's worse, he'd just picked me up from a school specifically for kids with "special needs", and I told him I'm autistic and had no clue how to get home safely, but he just left. It took me over two hours to find my way home, wandering along the side of the carriageway. The second time, I was 16 and being picked up at midnight since I didn't want to stay for a sleepover (dangerous and dumb, I know) and my friend had already locked the door behind me and told me not to knock again because her parents would be really mad if I woke them. So I get into this taxi, tell him the address, and he suddenly glares at me. Apparently someone from my apartment building had previously ran out without paying, so he decides to refuse me service, yelling to "get out of his f***ing car." I was crying by then and tried to explain that my mum was waiting at our front door to pay, I had no way to go back inside to my friend and I just wanted to go home, but he was so angry. I ended up calling my mum from the side of the road, sobbing because I was terrified and the area itself was really sketchy. Almost zero streetlights or security cameras, just huge trees and looming walls that could hide potential attackers. Luckily she booked me another taxi that showed up fast and the second driver was really kind and understanding (he had an autistic granddaughter) so he got me home safe. I couldn't imagine leaving a vulnerable person, let alone a child, alone in an unfamiliar place due to impatience or anger.

We all have to pay more attention what's going on around us, too many negative distractions in this world right now. I love that tik tok video where it shows everyone a sign someone is in distress and to call for help. I hope it stays viral. And as a mom myself, when the children were frightened, it really touched my soul, I wanted to protect them too. Thank you parents for teaching your children how to react when things go wrong and approached by weirdos.

Max is a smart kid, he knew he was in danger, and he cared about his mom more than he did about himself.

In a situation where a child is in danger, your child is my child and ill protect to exactly the same level. Thank god they're all ok

I hope that bus driver was fired. I don't know how it works in America but isn't it the bus drivers job to make sure the kid gets to their own home safely. Seeing that kid crying broke my heart

Quincy reminds me so much of me. He's able to keep everything compartmentalized while he's in danger, and didn't let the panic touch him until he saw Max's Mom and knew it was safe now!

So grateful that we have good human beings that will help kids like this

I almost cried seeing that little kid crying after being forced out of the bus at the wrong stop. I respect ghe way his friend's mom helped the boy ❤

“I Dont want my mom to worry about me” This guy has a heart of gold.. what an upbringing 👏🏻

It's disgusting how some people can even try to kidnap/ actually kidnap children Edit: thanks for 30 likes 👍 Edit 2: 333 likes! This is the most I've ever had.

GOD BLESS THESE CHILDREN FOR BEING SMART.

the last kid had me crying with him ohmygod. I cannot imagine how terrified he was, and seeing him start panicking as he's talking to her just made me want to hug him 😭

The last situation literally just happened to my two grnaddaughters on Friday. Luckily the eldest knew which way to walk and we met them along the way. My daughter and I were furious! Thank God he was able to get home. It's very terrifying for the kids.

This is so helpful finding out about the tick tock 911 Palm gesture. And that little girl that ran away from the tricky man in the car that offered her a bicycle. How terrifying! Good on their mom for training them about that kind of stuff at an early age.

The terror in that little boys voice is heart breaking

The little boy ouincy who was crying about his mom worrying about him broke my heart. Who drops a 7 year old off at the wrong stop?!? Thank god he remembered that was his friends house. I can’t imagine how furious the mother was. Poor buddy.

God bless these little children.

Thank God 🙏 This little boy made it home safe to his mom.l hope that the bus driver was fired.

That’s a new thing!! A tricky man. I’ll be using this term with my son. 🙏🏽🙏🏽 Glads she’s safe. ❤

That happened to my son, first day of kindergarten, 5 yrs old. Did not know where he was. Thankfully two older girls stayed with him, until bus came back and picked him up after realizing mistake. Was 20 mins.

I’m very grateful that I’m 21 now and I’ve never been in a situation as a kid, teen, or adult where I had to make decisions like these. I’ve never been approached like this or assaulted in any form and I thank God

I can relate to the kid who was left at the wrong stop. When I was in Pre-K I had to take a bus to school. I was only 3 or 4 so I had no idea what my bus number was and got on the wrong bus. When all the stops were completed the bus driver kicked me off at the last stop and left me on a gravel road near a highway. Lost alone and frightened I wandered around for about an hour when two nice ladies found me and tried to help me get home. A hard thing when all I knew about where I lived was it was a blue green house with a basit hound. Thankfully my dad was friends with the PD where I lived and when the cops came to get me the officer told me he'd take me home as my dad and mom were worried. I don't know what happened to the bus driver. But I was told she wasn't working there after that. I'm glad the kid managed to find someone he knew to help as it took me almost 4 hours to get home after my mom realized that I wasn't on the bus I was supposed to be on. No one deserves to go through that. Especially not a kid so young.

The last story had me all teary! The distress in his voice breaks my heart - if that happened to one of my kids, I would have been outraged too. I hope that bus driver got fired!

The third one got me.. hearing that boy clearly in distress. Got me tearing up.

my parent’s code word is tricky. if we’re out in public with my little sister and my mom see’s someone suspicious, she’ll find a sentence to say the word “tricky” in. like “oh, (sister’s name) come here, this looks tricky to draw.” or “do you think you could make that tricky thing?” and immediately we’ll go beside her lol. we also have a code word that every family member and friend knows, so if someone comes up to us and says “your parent’s wanted me to come pick you up. im their friend.” we say “what’s the code word?” and if they dont answer it, we get help.

I saw a child in the backseat of a car a few weeks ago making the tic tok signal. I followed and called police. That child signaled CONTINUOUSLY while i waa behind them. He's mom finally realized I was following her and she was LIVID at me for calling the cops. She said "does it look like my 9yr old knows about tic tok!?". The boy swore he wasn't making that signal. She told me her son was just "waving". Me and my mom both showed the cops what he was doing. Cops had never heard of that signal before. Bet they looked it up when I left. I was so upset because of the mom's reaction to me. But I couldn't NOT call and it really be an emergency. If something would have happened to that child and I didn't call, I'd never forgave myself.

I’m glad these kids made it out alive unlike others who couldn’t escape or get help.

That boy who said, "I dont want my mom to worry about me" reminded me of my childhood. I was more worried about my parents feeling bad for me than actually addressing my own trauma.

Sheesh, poor kid. I know that feeling of getting dropped off at a completely neighborhood without knowing how to get back home. The fact he was more worried about his momma being worried about him says it all, glad he made it home safe 🙏

It's a must for parents to teach kids that the world isn't always a nice place. You won't be at your kids' side all the time, so preparing them for odd situations could make the difference to safe their life.

The fact that kids cant even go outside anymore without stuff like this happening.

That is a good expression to teach kids "Tricky person". Explains these people well in a child appropriate language

Its so sad you can't let your kids play in the front yard anymore unless your right there next to them. So glad your daughter knew what to do and is safe.

Sad how many predators lay in wait for vulnerable or impressionable kids and/or adults.

Aww. What a sweet boy. I hope that man lost his job

The little boy left by the bus driver broke my heart. Thank God he was smart and he's okay 💔 God bless him, he seems like a sweet kid 💕

Geeat job Quincy! You were really scared and still did the smart thing. That's bravery. When I was in grade eight, our bus driver had to take a different route from school because of an accident. Noticing we were off route, MANY of the little kids began crying and we older kids couldn't calm them down. At our bus stop we older kids explained to the waiting parents the whole situation. I'll never forget the fear of those little kids who thought they were being kidnapped that day.

How can you say to a child "get out" when it's not their stop? Thank God that mom was home Thank you all for the likes❤️ OMG MOM I'M FAMOUS

Aw! I love how the little boy just went to the right place. He is inspiration to other kids who accidently get lost; go to a nearby house and ask for help!

Now that's a sweet kid and the lady who was there to comfort him thank you we need more parents like you to show such compassion. I almost started to cry seeing the distraught little boy., I know these parents will be friends for life blessings to both families.

I’m glad the boy was able to find a friends house and there was a trusted adult there to help him get home

Thank God these kids were ok✝️🙏👍

I’m literally in tears watching this because these things could have gone in a different direction.

the last little boy broke my heart i was one time lost in a dif neighborhood and i was crying until a nice old lady helped me find my neighborhood

May God bless these kids God loves yall

I'm glad these kids were taught very well about stranger danger; it helps a lot.

Max’s mom is a hero, so is the lady from that store!! Way to go ladies!!

"I don't want my mom to worry." I WASN'T EXPECTING THIS TO BE WHAT MADE ME CRY.

I don't have a child, and even then my heart was pounding! I can only imagine how parents would react to these videos. I wish we didn't have to teach children about the monsters that lurk, but this is an important lesson and could save a life.

🌸 why did that bus driver do that, the child told him it wasn’t his stop. Seeing him cry like that just tore me up, far more less for his poor mom. What if something terrible happened to him, I shudder to think. I’m just so happy he recognised his friend’s house and was able to get help. Just a miracle the mother just arrived two minutes earlier. If she wasn’t home, he would have walked away searching for help elsewhere getting more lost

I really wish all kids were like these and I really wish all parents is good and patient enough to teach their kids to be like these

Everytime I hear that little boy's, my heart breaks. He's incredibly sweet. And and adult completely failed him.

Good parenting literally saves lives 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Lol that first one. Had the vibe of a definite, “Oh, HELL NO!” Glad these kids had some good parenting!

The Max's Mom situation just tore my heart up. smh God protect the vulnerable children of this world.

Y’all, she did the right thing to say, “no” to the stranger, Emmy, you r very brave!!!
