A social experiment published on YouTube shows just how easily a stranger can walk away with a child.

YouTube user JoeySalads went to a playground and spoke to parents to ask if their children would talk to a total stranger.

Each parent was confident their "stranger danger" talks had been sufficient enough for the kids to know to ignore him or run back to them.

The results, however, were frightening as Joey was easily able to lure the children away with the help of his puppy.

The parents were evidently shocked by how quickly and easily their child was able to be whisked away.
