The problem is kids knows more than you think. They just don't care because they live right here right now, we've all been kids. There isn't any magical solution to fix this. You can't really blame it on social media things like this happened long before even computers existed.

I'd say at the core it's a lack of discipline.

Now that was shocking. How can parents do this? Especially those last ones - skull masks, FFS...? Appalling. Nice publicity for the film maker though.

#1. Discipline missing indeed. You can tell by the last girl's attitude that she has no respect for her parents; although that's not her fault, it's theirs.
As for the first two, what kind of parent gives a 12 year old kid a $500 phone and allows them to use social media without monitoring them?
I'd put 80% of the blame on the parents who aren't teaching their kids basic social skills.

Edit that - 95%.

#2 sometimes reality seems so unbelievable that you can't even think it could be true. It's called denial.

Sometimes people need to learn lessons the hard way. Most of them have tried/did warn them about such dangers but it didn't work. Now they don't even have to ground them, the lesson have been told and understood.

It's better for those children to be in this kind of situation than encounter a real bad person.

Sometimes to have to be hard to protect the one you love even if it hurts you, even if they only understand this many times after.

This is truly shocking but I wasn't in even the slightest doubt that each of these girls would do what they did, which in itself is a take on kids and the times we live in with social media.

#3 I have marked you down because I'm guessing you are a kid yourself and not a parent otherwise you would not have made that comment. The majority of teenagers both male and female have very little if any respect for adults and or authority, it is the rare household that have a close relationship with their teenager.

They are only interested in their friends and boys/girls and their opinions through these years and social media simply tightens these bonds. The good news if they not stupid enough to get into a van with masked occupants is that they do usually come round and in many cases (and I've heard this first hand) they blame their parents for not being more strict with them when they screwed up their exams for a boyfriend who is now long gone.

My two favourite teenage sayings are "Teenagers the ultimate knowledge of inexperience" and "When I was fourteen years old my Dad was so ignorant I couldn't stand to have the old man around, when I became twenty one I couldn't believe how much he had learned in seven years" For any teenagers reading these who need an explanation the First one is saying that it might just be possible that although you think you know everything you can't possibly, simply (and it's not your fault) because you have only been alive for a short period of time. And the second one is saying much the same, plus you don't want to think that your parents or teachers actually know much more than you do simply because they have lived longer and have had more time to gather information and process it and it won't be until you have lived a little, that you too will be in their shoes and before you now it some teenager will think the same about you. This has been going on in human terms for over three million years. :)JJ SASSP

#4 Ok, mwak, let's suppose I can go with the general gist of your argument that these kids need a lesson. Just explain to me where the skull mask comes into that...?

#9 Not mwak but I see the masks as making the whole scared shitless experience more effective. For a moment she really thought she was really being taken and maybe that memory will save her in some future plan to meet an online stranger.

Well, we're going to have to agree to disagree. From where I sit this is child abuse. Nasty and manipulative on the part of the film-maker, irresponsible in the extreme on the part of the parents, and unforgivable on the part of the parents wearing fright masks. It turns my stomach.

#11 If this was your daughter and considering this is going on for real in the world. Which option would you go for? Option 1) Give your daughter the scare of her life including or excluding skull masks, meat cleavers, cows blood and sound effects from the final scenes in the Texas chain saw massacre. Or Option B) Your family's personal version of the Texas chainsaw massacre where you never ever get to see your daughter again, except for posted bits of her that arrive every birthday. You choose. :|

#12 Jake, that's not a choice. I don't want my kids to end up in a trunk, but equally I don't want to scar them mentally for the rest of their lives. This is just wrong on *every* level - exploitative publicity-seeking clickbait on the part of the makers, and abusive behaviour on the part of the parents.

It seemed to me that the first girl did the right thing. She made a friend online. Which happens all the time. The first time she goes to meet him she picks a public place. The park. Where there are other people around and you know you wont get grabbed and pulled away. We live in a world where people are afraid of everyone and think everyone is out to get them. When the fact is most rape and abuse happens inside kids home, from their parents or close family. Also the masks? Really? So dumb.

95% of rapes are committed by a family member or a very close friend to the family

It seems to me that Twitter is a very serious social network, but I don’t argue that there are a lot of useful posts there. If I want ease and relaxation, I prefer to hang out on OnlyFans. Moreover, there is even the opportunity to try yourself as an onlyfans manager, more here https://fans-crm.com/ This is a good source of income plus an aesthetic bonus, if you know what I mean.
