'Telegraph' reports on a social experiment of Joey Saldas who has proven that children, no matter how much they are warned by parents to be careful with strangers, they not only enter into conversations with strangers easily, but they also quickly accept to accompany them. An experiment conducted has shown that an ordinary puppy is sufficient for children to forget the "warning" of their parents with regard to strangers. This makes children vulnerable, especially when it comes to persons who recruit children. According to the article about 700 children per day are victims of abduction, and that figure per year is 250 000.

At the same time, Saladino's experiment has encountered some criticism.It has been pointed out that the children approached are very young, maybe four or five years old. Kids of that age tend to be watched constantly by an adult when playing alone – as is indeed the case in the video.
