I’ve been there before.. the kid was probably panicking and really scared but in that moment you have to pretend being calm because if you freak out she’ll know and go for you so you have to be very casual
Sammy did everything perfectly once he recognized he was in serious danger! Everyone who helped to teach him what to do when he’s in danger must be thanked and reminded how their efforts truly saved his life.
@@pineapple3555 I think you would be surprised how often in kidnapping and homicide cases there were lots of opportunities where people could of prevented something if they listened or acted like this girl
@@StainderFin Hansel and Gretal, Pinocchio, Peter Pan...all movies/books/Folklore that possibly may metaphor boys being groomed and in danger if you look through the fictional mataphor.
Holy crap! She was super close to him, TOO close. Thank goodness he knew to get help the way he did. I can't believe she actually waited for him to come out of the store. That young man definitely saved his own life that day. 🌹
@@dang5550 they are supposed to do that... ideally in a world without creeps following them around, but they shouldn't sacrifice their independence just bc it's not 100% safe
@@peachiescent2800 Are you the self righteous loser? Yes you are! I understand speaking the truth in a world full of lies is crazy, but it’s really not the controversial to say good parents aren’t letting a 10 yr old child walk home alone in a city. But ok👌
Update : the whole narrative could've been completely flipped. Sammy could be a lying SOB child...the real mother was the woman in black. Imagine if the Woman may have had social issues, she maybe was trying to get her difficult son home. When Sammy wasnt getting his demands met he decides to ditch his mother using this store assistant. Telling tales forcing mother to abandon Sammy...her social anxiety getting too much. Never accept other people's views as facts. Find your own facts.
It is so sad that we must talk to our kids about the bad people out to hurt them but ITS A MUST! Thank God this little boy realized what was happening. They were both so brave ❤
She followed not even 2 feet away from him for miles, held the door and just waited when he went in the store, and ran away when she realized she was compromised. This is by far one of the most horrible yet terrifying type of person I've seen in a while.
and that might be actually a person who kidnapping for organs because child IS old enough for be organ donor and it a boy because if it's a girl that might be a case of sex trafficking. Just seeing many documentary about this.
@@mikekasich836 definitely not! I hate to sound aggressive so don’t read this in the wrong tone. But no adult in their right mind would do that, the child would’ve been terrified.
That’s the type of kids we should be raising. Kids that are aware of their surroundings, and don’t panic under pressure. Good for that kid and the parents that are raising him!
I'm giving the credit to Sammy over his parents. We know he did the right thing here. Some kids get street smart young and are able to stay calm in those situations, because they've been through hell already.They've had to feel this kind of gut instinct before, because of their home life.
@@SoftxBunny Well, technically we should give the credit to the parents since they are the ones that gave birth to that child. Sammy doesn't deserve any credit, if that's the case.
I almost got kidnapped as a 1st grader walking home from school had a van following me and my sister thank god we we're close to our house and ran inside because right as we started running i looked back and seen the van side door open but i didn't catch the face or i blocked their image out of my head. Scary stuff. Don't let ur little ones walk even if it's close.
My mom used to tell me "If you are ever followed by a stranger, get inside a shop and report it " Best advice ever,glad i never had to use it. This kid was clearly raised by caring and intelligent parents.
I can’t understand why some of the people posting things like this are blurting out the criminals faces, they need to be exposed so everyone knows who they are and what they’re about!!
Because she wasn't charged with a crime. Being weird and severely mentally ill is not illegal. The cashier described her as incoherent. The local PD referred her to mental health services. What would doxing her achieve?
You can find the video without the blur online. But all news outlets blurred the video because they don’t want to contribute to harmful stereotypes about the skin of the criminal.
The way he was so calm and collected in a situation like this made me feel so relieved. And also how the store worker handled this and went along with it. There is hope in this world💗
What do you mean there is hope? The parents aren't properly caring for that child? 😒 who let's there child walk home alone without supervision of a competent adult?
@@dulcepadilla9299 Children are capable of going home alone you know. Is not the parent's fault that an insane person wanted to hurt him. Also, we don't know the backstory so don't just blame people.
Yea, its terrifying that that can happen to anyone. Thats part of the reason my parents pick me up from school and drive me there. Just safer, considering I live quite far away from my school. Im not scared of being alone on a trip to school or from school. Im scared of not being alone on said trip
Seen other videos they follow them real close so that they can do chloroform from behind real fast the kid passes out then the person kind of carries them as they're limping into a waiting vehicle. There been several videos of kids being kidnapped with this exact ploy.
@@SnailyTheSnail you should also(and I'm sure you know this already) be careful of whom you speak to online. Not like this quick comment we are having, but like if you play games online etc. and talk while gaming. Please stay vigilant. Edit: I also drive my son to and from school.
Yo there could have been multiple people involved like she was following him to a certain place and then someone would show up or she could have just followed him to closed off area or followed him home like these replies are stupid
Bruh when i saw a person as a 10 year old i started to look back if i still see that peson i run if the person would follow me i would make a circle to a store
So happy that the boy was alert and aware of his surroundings. Also I'm very glad that Hannah was willing to listen and took immediate action. Well done to everyone.
@@patriciabradley6158 I'm allways scared off people like that women, i allways make sure be with a friend when i exit school, and i allways pay attention on the people behind me, sometumes i run when some on is to close from me
The boy acted as if nothing was going on, staying calm is the key thing in these situations. The worker stayed just as calm, and luckily things turned out fine.
I was the type of kid that was very self aware since I never really trusted most people so I would have either stayed calm or just ran but I see where you’re coming from since it depends on age and other things along that line
@@_Nikki0 same I'm still a kid but if that happened to me since I walk home everyday I'd either run or do the same so not everyone would have reacted the same
I'd turn around and if she does too i'd scream to draw attention and she would probably leave in fear , but im like old enough to be able to uh 👊 soo....yeah
Or don’t let a kid likely under the age of 10 walk alone in a large city? I lived in a village of 600 people where I can walk up to almost any home with open arms. I still wasn’t aloud to walk home until I was 11, pretty simple don’t let your kids walk alone.
10 is still quite young. Group up or have supervision. Too many variables especially in cities. Not having the privilege of taking care of your kids is, in my humble opinion, not an argument. You need to be there for them. Or train them like Sparta soldiers from the age of 5 and this kid could eat this woman raw.
Props to the boy for recognizing danger, and also props to his parents for probably teaching him this, often it's overlooked that boys also have scary situations like this happen to him and that it's possible to get kidnapped no matter what gender you are
I disagree. She could've managed to protect the child and call the police at the same time so this doesn't happen to another child. Instead she just let this crazy person walk off. It's not the ultimate "fuck off" if you don't care enough to involve law enforcement.
@@bleepbloop3230 Technically, there isn't enough proof that the woman was following the child, and she technically didn't break any laws, so they can't really call the cops on her.
Even if the woman didn't break any laws a report could have been made and the woman could have been identified. Having a record of her tailing random children might pay off one day when someone goes to prove she is an endangerment to children. Or it might even help investigators looking into missing children's cases.
@@Afuckingsimp this is why I'm confused everyone is acting like she did an awesome job. Yes she did the right thing by protecting the child but she didn't protect the next possible victim or maybe the victim before this child. People need to be more proactive to protect each other and report trouble when it arises. You never know it might help someone down the road.
honestly, one of my biggest fears is having something like this happen and then when i seek help, the other person is just clueless or doesn’t completely understand the situation, so it just backfires on me. I’m so so glad sammy was calm about it and he met a good person.
@SantinoV123 Probably abduct him for a gang she was part of (for extortion), to sell him, because she couldn't have kids herself and she had some crazy woman delusion. Who knows?
What Americans forget because your government and mine like to spend taxpayers money on themselves there is nowhere to put people who are very mentally Ill whose going to look after a mentally ill person who has no family and how many just want to talk to someone she might have been a kidnapper but she might have been the nices person in the world I’d hope my daughters would do the same as the boy but nobody knows what really is going on here .
It's amazing how he remained calm while being highly observant of his surroundings. He made sure someone is inside the shop first before going inside it. Smart kid👏
@Matthew Smith Ppl blame men for it mostly but it's both genders Edit: ik it's common for men but some crazy lady can use it as an advantage so stay safe
@@matthewsmith5374 more women are kidnappers and pimps for this very reason. Society demonizes men to ridiculous ends. Ghislaine Maxwell got and handled the children not Epstein remember that
@@marz_mm2 to me the woman in the video is most likely also being exploited. She looks addicted to drugs so she might be forced to do this. It’s a sick world.
I don’t know about that…it’s nice to think of but who will ever know? Edit: okay now that I reread the comment I see what it means. I thought it meant “So people don’t get suspicious of the kid walking alone so the girl was acting like his mom in order to protect him from others.” Sorry, folks. I guess in this case I shouldn’t be seeing things in a positive light. Thanks for correcting me
WELL DONE Sammy!!! Keeping that level of calm & thinking on your feet & coming up with a scenario with the cashier ( Hannah!! ) that could save your life?!! It's very likely you did save your life Sammy! 👏🙏 You carry on & keep listening to that strong inner voice (or guardian angel!) & you will do great things! Love vibes & prayers kiddo! ❤🙏❤
Smart kids is what really keeps them safe. Some instances is impossible to escape, but in most I believe it is. Very smart kid, and very aware of his surroundings.
In response to your "sometimes there are situations where a kidnapping could br avoided" I say EXACTLY! Some people seemingly can't walk down the block without being glued to their damn phone. Had to stop my car, because a teenager wandered into the street to cross, Never once looking up from their damn electronic contraption. To top it off, she started wandering at an angle, instead of going straight across. Had to beep my horn. Startled her, she seemed amazed, or unaware she was in the street. Then there are those with their headphones on. I don't begrudge a person with headphones on, HOWEVER, you still need to keep your head on a swivel, and be aware of your surroundings!
This is a very important point... Being observant and alert... Sadly, these days people walking by can be seen immersed in their cell phones and totally ignorant...
@@judasromero that even possible that she was just caring in the boy. Maybe she just wanted to accompany the boy. But ended up scaring him. It could be just nothing.
i have a 10 year old and for a 10 year old to be so aware of their surroundings, while acknowledging such human behaviour is quite remarkable. props to the parents who are raising this young man.
No matter who it is, you can never be too careful, stay safe out there you guys, even people you know in your lives can harm you just the same as a stranger following you.
Yeah I never understood why the hell you hide the clearly criminal's/scumbag's faces. Unless people do it for legal purposes but even then its like: "Oh you hide the face of the potential kidnapper? Yeah I'd like to 'not' know who this person looks like that can stalk and kidnap my kids would look like in order to protect their well-being and keep a look out for them."
More like, teach your kids to actually defends themselves instead of rolling with it. You can teach a kid that's the easy part, the hard part us having actually practice awareness of surroundings or how to properly defend themselves from a situation. But congrats to sammy
Wrongggg!!!! Incarceration isn’t the solution. You have to rehabilitate these criminals and allow them over the course of their life to realize that their minds are going to tell them to do immoral actions and they have to resist. You might not believe it, but mass incarceration is the solution we tried and it didn’t fuckin work at ALL
You absolutely right the way people are going around abducting people especially our children thank God Hannah was there to protect this young man pray for our country and when we see something say something or if we can do something do something called the police but keep yourself safe and we see some of that look I do know I'm calling the police I am my brother in Sister's Keeper I am my mother and father's keeper I am my country's kefir
I taught my girls that if they're uncomfortable or unsafe they need to make it everyone else's problem until they get the help they need. I'm proud of this kid for getting help.
always good to teach kids to listen to their instincts. if they feel uncomfortable or get a weird vibe with anyone near them, immediately find a safe place and seek help. that kid probably just saved himself and his family from a lot of pain and suffering.
@@gbresaleking same thing with my mom after she experienced some close calls with kidnappers as a kid. always lock car doors if you’re alone in the car and always be alert and listen to your gut, advice that’s probably helped me more than I know.
As a 12 year old kid, I wouldn’t be able to ask for help. My mouth wouldn’t be able to open, I have really bad social anxiety and it just won’t work with me. Does anyone have any other suggestions for this type of situation?
'Can you act like you're my mom? This woman is following me and I'm scared' I'm so proud of him for asking for help. Often boys and men don't want to admit vulnerability but it's so important to teach your kids about these things.
10 years olds are of course vulnerable. It's not even his responsibility to man up and solve his own problem if it's involving dangerous adukt stranger.
Most boys wouldn’t think much of it because it’s a woman. This is why we need to teach kids that women can be creeps as well and not just men! This boy did a great job and his parents taught him well!
Don’t blur them out, predators need to be recognisable, it’s their choice to try and victimise children so they should live with any consequences. Including being identified as such
@@AceMachine5 no. I was talking about the woman in the store. Protecting the kid even though she didn't know him. She could have just said,"Whatevrr kid - go prank somebody else. But she believed him and protected him
Yes, and for some wicked reason the fact that sammy's a boy makes her even less suspicious because man take care of themselves and man have no problems and shit.
Most people would think he’s her child because she is walking right beside him and also no one really talks about how women can be kidnappers too, so they wouldn’t see this shit as suspicious
It would be more sus is she was subtle about it since if you showed the first few seconds of this clip without the audio and subtitles most people would think "oh a mother taking her son to the store" but if she was watching from far away she'd be suspicious. It's smart actually and if he said to anyone "she's not my mom" people would just assume he's angry she didn't buy him Lego or something.
As a mother of a young boy this scares the shit out of me. I just hope I raise my son in a way that he always pays attention to his surroundings like that and it breaks my heart that he has to do this in this world. I am so glad this little boy is okay
@@its_gaming_time6753 I also use other swear words in front of him. If he knows how to use them and what they mean, he can use them correctly instead of just hearing them somewhere else and using them without knowing what exactly he is saying. Swear words aren't a profanity in my country, I am more worried about my son getting kidnapped or ending up homeless in this world than him hearing me use the word shit.
That's a very smart child, he was aware of the situation he was in and knew exactly what to do. Props to the parents as well (i say this because i would think the parents taught him to be aware of his surroundings and everything-)
