My brother once packed up and left - about an hour later I asked mum if we could go find him - we found him at the end of the block sitting on a retainer wall - we asked him how come he didn't go any further - his reply -- I'm not allowed to cross the street alone 😅
I did the same aged 4 in 1957....I went 3 floors downstairs and then returned home saying: "it's teatime I'll leave later". I'm 70 year old and I still giggle over it. Much love from Italy.
Naaa, it just teaches her that she has to overcome that problem next 😊 ( next time, she will go further..) Psychology doesn't always work like you think.
@@jujjuj7676 Yes, teaches her a more effective way to get kidnapped. Going into an unknown world, alone, at 5 years old, completely defenseless. Idk why you seem so happy about her discovering tactics to run away... 💀 most people who've told stories about them running away as children regretted it. Some who even had to pay an ultimate price to arrive at that conclusion.
@@tookiie it seems you need to work on your English comprehension skills. If you reread what I wrote you will seeing that I'm saying, this is only teaching the child to be more risky which is stupid. You don't let a child even pretend to run away. You explain it to the child until the child understands. That's the very reason of parenting. What was done in the video is bad parenting as it trains the kid to be independent when the kid is clearly not ready to do so. I'm not happy nor sad, I care a less if some parent wants to kill off there kid, if they dumb enough to let a toddler walk the street a alone that's on them. I'm job is my children, not other kids. I'm just commenting that its a bad idea. What they do with that info is up to them. You can't fix stupid..just too much of it in this world..
I did the same thing. My dad said “ you may want to think this through. You don’t know anybody out there, you don’t have a job and you can hardly reach the door handle.” 😂
that is why I had everything stolen from me even career and opportunities and it was even said, to heck with being diligent and promotions others "deserve" !
The cat ears! My daughter did this at 3 or 4. I let her go and she went right to the house with the most Christmas tree lights and rang their bell. I had to go after her 😭🤣
@floof6896 what if a plane crashes in the Congo & it sends a shock wave through the earth which results in the tree in your garden falling over into the road which then results in a semi truck driving into your house ?
My little brother was five and he packed his bag and stated he was running away. Mom was so sweet and told him he would be missed but to let her pack him a good lunch. She gave him his little lunch with PB &J, some chips and an apple. Packed his thermos and told him to be sure and drop us a postcard and reassured him that he was loved then shut the front door. We peeped out the window and he sat at the end of our driveway in that hot Alabama summer air. After about thirty minutes he came inside all wet with sweat and mad. Mom hugged him and stated how much he was missed. She told me not to laugh in front of him so I went in my room and cried laughing tears.
That's sweet. It's not smart to laugh at the kid like this lady did to her daughter. I hope the mom followed her (from a distance) as anybody could have driven up and grabbed her (sorry, but true).
No, she is not a brilliant mother, but that mother may be a monster. No loving mother can watch her baby in such a desperate situation. A real mother's heart would melt just when her little angel step out of the door. 😢😢
My dad did this when he was around 5, my grandma packed him a sandwich and sent him on his way(this was the sixties btw). He went to the end of the street, ate his sandwich and then came back home. His reasoning for coming back was apparently because he was still hungry and wanted another sandwich 😂😂
I did the same around this age. Packed a small suitcase, full of all the stuffed animals that would fit and 3 cookies. Got to the corner, went backed and annouced its dark, i will go in the morning 😂 My mom watched me and welcomed me home, she didn't laugh at me.
Omg I'm 71 yrs old , when I was 5yrs old I packed a bag and told my Ma I wasn't coming back . Went to the park and felt lonely .Went back home, and my Ma asked me if I enjoy vacation. I said no. This girl was lucky to get pizza lol lol lol . Thank you for my memory ♥️
Yes getting laughed at when you put your pride aside and come back. A sure way to teach a kid to not put that pride aside again in front of those people. While being filmed. And then posted online. Yes… love and laughter 🙄
Love?????? Are you kidding me. She laughed at her. Making the little girl feel humiliated and sending her back down the driveway contemplating leaving again. Yeah that's real love. I don't care about the pizza.
@@AekoCatori I think it's capable of going both ways. My parents were pretty abusive, so when they did stuff like this, they were actually being mean. But this lady seems to have a very good humored relationship with her daughter, and I don't think the little girl felt mocked except for maybe a few seconds, but she caught on that her mom was being silly the second she said "come get some pizza".
@AekoCatori I agree. I think this is a terrible way to "teach a lesson." The end where the mother was laughing historically was even worse. I don't understand how anyone could think this little girl learned anything positive from this.
@Kc-dq7zj I was actually pretty worried about it until the very end. I watched it a few times. Stuff like this grabs my interest because I was an abused child and was always careful to not confuse my own kids by laughing at their misbehavior. She actually looks like she's realized everything's okay and not as serious as she thought, but also that threatening to run away because you don't get what you want is a mistake. It's a really hard situation to teach just right, and of course we only know these people from this clip. At the end, she seems fine and ready to move on to the next 5 yr old shenanigans, which is the most important thing. I wouldn't have uploaded it, but that's more because there's so much risk publishing kids online.
In 1959, when I was 7, I told my mom I'm running away. I got as far as the neighbors property and sat on the curb. Mom said I thought you were running away, I said I am. Can you drive me to the bus station to buy me a ticket to Montana?" I wanted to live with my cousin Merle in a tiny town in Montana. ❤
I’m glad the mother wasn’t yelling at her or reprimanding her roughly. How a parent reacts makes a huge impact on their child’s mental health. Welcoming her child back with laughter and love plus pizza is something she’ll never forget.
I did that when I was little. My dad knew I was terrified of owls at that age so he stood behind a tree and hooted like an owl. I flew back home as fast as my legs would carry me.
Nah I ran all the way to North Carolina from New Jersey and became an adult movie actor. Best decision I ever made. My title is called a fluffer. I’m very important to the production of cinema
@@zalitosway8419if you’re gonna troll, at least make sense. “I became an adult movie actor, my title is a fluffer!”… um… since when is a stagehand considered an actor? Fix your story for next time, lol.
@@1w598It makes her a great mom because she made sure the child was safe at all times while still showing her that runing away doesn't feel good and doesn't solve anything. This is great parenting. Let them experience, explore and test boundaries while keeping them safe.
Great mom? Damn lucky predators didn’t scoop her in a van and auction her off on the dark web. You think this is a joke. The girl was a quarter of a mile too damn far from the mom. The mom wouldn’t have any time to protect her child. Not to mention when her daughter gets older she might run away again and this time know exactly where to go
@@Gen3ralGrimReaperare you retarded? most kidnappings aren’t just “some kid gets scooped up!” It’s usually someone the kid knows or was manipulated by. predators aren’t prowling the streets for kids on their own anymore.
I actually did run away from home. I didn't come back. And a week later the police found me under a bridge and they basically dragged me back to my house. I left because of actual reasons. My family was abusing me. So I just left. This little girl left because she got her little play toy taken away. What a reason to leave, Jesus. I wish I had that reason instead of the hands I was dealt with in life.
My daughter did the same when she was around 3, I told go ahead. She packed her little bag, opened the door noticed that it was starting to get dark, she looked back at me. Stated, I'll run away tomorrow. I said ok and that ended her temper tantrum and never said again about running from home! 😂😂
My oldest did some thing similar. He said he didn’t love or need me any more, and he was leaving. I said ok, bye. He went to his room and gathered a few things in his back pack and went to the front door. He said he was ready to go. I said go where? He replied Grandmas. I asked him how he was going to get there. He said I was going to drive him. I said, “I thought you didn’t need me any more.” He burst into tears and said I do need you, and I love you daddy. He never tried any BS like that again. Today he is a Naval Officer in the US Navy submarine service.
So why didn't you drive him to Grandma's house? I would've sent him because obviously he needs space. Sometimes I would ride the other school bus to my grandma's house especially when I needed space from my mom because we used to fight a lot.
@@SheenaJizelle it’s not like they denied him, he himself started crying and told him that he loves his dad, and also we don’t know the whole exact episode so it’s better to not comment that way
@@tanushabansal3036 Whenever a child tries to run away from home it's because they don't wanna be around you at the moment. That's why they have grandparents. Y'all just wanna flex y'all power over them.
important note is that she always kept an eye on her as she was walking away. can't have the kids running the house. mom stood her ground as a parent and taught her daughter a valuable lesson in a safe manner. her daughters smile at the end was beautiful. loved that she understood the humor in it
Only takes a few seconds for someone to drive by her and take her 😣 and mom would be too far away to do anything about it. And she was in the street, someone coming up the hill out not paying attention or on their phone could have hit her. So many scenarios. So glad she got home safe.
@@hdajq892ey7Nothing of the sort. Children need boundaries and this was a masterstroke by her mama. The little girl will know she's loved by the care she receives from her parents incl, clothes she's got on; the food she eats; the water she has access to etc etc.
@@Christopher_J That mother doesn't care at all. She did this for fun, not for teaching boundaries. She only shaming the kid for trying to defend herself from something unseen the girl perceived as painful; we don't know what it was. That girl is likely abused by her mother.
@@hdajq892ey7 yup, I feel like, without knowing a backstory, she wanted her mom to come after her to actually show she cared. Which is very normal for kids to do. Instead she had to walk her way back alone with her mom waiting by the door cackling with her phone in her hand. Now she knows her mom is not going to come for her, which hurt her trust in her. I feel so so bad for this girl. And I hate people saying this is how you „teach a lesson“… a lesson in how little your parents care about you, yes.
I did this when I was nine, left for over 8 hours. Hid in the bushes whenever I saw them come by looking for me... came home later that day, they acted like I never left. Asked my mom later in life... "You think we couldn't see you in the bushes!?, we weren't looking for you we all went out to get food!"
@Ruffian71 this round my balls if this was my kid I would have beat the shit out of her for thinking she was better alone than me like bro ur nothing without me. I don't know how the mom had the audacity to give her pizza I would have made her sleep on the floor after eating nothing with no blanket no pillow for 2 days straight little bitch
Many kids who run away don’t really have a plan. They just want to be alone for a while. Then they realize “I’m not very well equipped to do this plan.”
I Remember whenever I use to do this as a kid, I would take my backpack and pack my blue power ranger toy thinking that’s all I need to survive. I never made it past the end of the block because I use to get scared to be further than a block away from my house. I actually was scared to leave the same block. The furthest I made it was to the corner of the block.
The bags and kitty ears are adorable. To think that at some point as she was packing all the essentials for survival on her own, her mind went "Kitty ears. I can't survive without those."
I admire her choice, but I wish she hadn’t filmed it and posted it for the world. Writing and posting the story wouldn’t have been as invasive of her privacy
There is no safety there. Kids get snatched in broad daylight. Glad she’s fine but imagine the regret the mother would have by letting walk that far by herself.
@@okhoward1942oh gosh stop she’s fine.. the girl isn’t naked or going through something big n serious. This overly sensitive crap ppl spew these days is just insane
@@kevinl3875 in europe yea but i America its very logical to be afraid for ur kidz, school shootings, junkies, guns everywhere, mentally ill preps in the street.. Y have terrible Healthcare system, and educational system, so yea
@@mossablahmazathe fact that you think the US is dangerous bc of all that is absolutely hilarious. All those things happen bc the US has been TOO safe for TOO long and people have gotten complacent and bored. Check your crime rates per Capita, the US is MUCH larger than the UK.
That look of defeat when she came back was so precious. "I'm beat, don't gloat mum or I'll run away again." She did, but not beyond the front porch. What a kiddo!
My mom thought my sister would come back and thought it was funny because she was only 8 and it’s not like she would actually run away … she eventually went missing and was found dead in some train tacks and the last video of her voice was her crying and saying she hates this family and she’s running away from our security camera.. that was a long time ago tho I still miss her and wonder how she would be now
I remember running away I told my dad I’m leaving for no reason got to the end of my drive and came back in cause it was to cold but my dad knew I wouldn’t go far anyways 😂
My 4 year old daughter did the same thing including packing food, but when she got to the street, she turned around and yelled, "I can't cross the street unless someone holds my hand".
When my then 5 year old daughter announced she was "running away" from home I told her as she was leaving that our dog was very happy because now he could have his own bedroom. She left for 30 seconds standing outside in the front yard and came back in asking if she could move back in with the dog. We laugh about today.
My daughter did this when she was six. It was dark outside so my husband went and hid behind some cars to keep a watchful eye on her as she set out on her trek to God knows where. I watched her from our window(s) and kept seeing her take few steps, stop, and listen for something. She suddenly ran back home in a panic. I ended up finding out that my husband was making howling noises from behind one of the cars parked on the street (something we had not discussed prior lol). When she came in I gave her a big ol hug and asked what happened and she said she "needed a ride afterall" 😂😂😂 I'm sure it was terrifying for her at the time, but she's 16 now and we laugh our butts of now thinking about it 😂
@@ohrightok9750and how are you going to find her? lol, no one knows where she lives. I get what your saying though, I actually don't believe children should be allowed on reality TV shows, but that's just me.
My aunt ran away when she was 3. She packed a tooth brush, teddy, and pjs, in a briefcase and walked to the neighbours house. She used the briefcase to stand on to reach the doorbell 😂. The neighbour (also my nan's friend) let her in and called my nan and my nan said keep her till she learns her lesson. 😂 After supper she cried for her mom and wanted to go home so she took her briefcase and went home lol
@@stellaragent3787 as a kid, she was determined on her own beliefs. Not everyone is like that even as adults. Most people just sit around without even trying. So while she did give up "fast", she took her own path until she realized it wasnt realistic. But she tried
@pedro_antuness22 I was joking but you do realize this is a thing most kids do hell I did it once it's just kids being kids it's nothing special bud...
Ya, I did the same. I told my parents that I was running away and nothing they could say or do would stop me. That backfired. They had the audacity to throw me a going away party! In all my 25 years, I’d never been so mad!!
@@DarkStallion101 Because she's a kid? Because childlike innocence definitely hides how absolutely unforgiving the real world is and how different living alone and living with your caring parents is? What, did you come out of your mom already 30 years old or smth?
