Today, I was teaching my 4 year-old daughter about "stranger danger" and how to deal with it. Later that day, we went out and since I didn't buy her a ice cream, she kept screaming "STRANGER DANGER!" A total stranger tackled me until the cops arrived. FML

Running gag

Today, I was jogging in my neighborhood when I saw a kid's ball roll over to where I was jogging. I stopped, grabbed the ball for the kid and went to hand it to him. He then yelled, "Stranger danger!" and his parents came sprinting out. I had to explain the story to the police for 30 minutes. FML

Today, my daughter and I went to the mall. While we were looking for clothes, she walked away from me and touched a man on the arm and smiled and said "Hi!" The man freaked out and screamed at me for letting that "thing" in public and to "wear a condom next time." FML

Today, I punched an older woman in the face. I only hit her after she grabbed my 4-year-old daughter and told her to, "stop dancing like a whore!" My daughter was so terrified, she peed her pants. FML

Stranger danger

Today, my 6 year-old daughter got mad at me for not buying her yet another expensive doll. I had to pull her away, and she started screaming for help. The next thing I know, another shopper puts me in a chokehold and calls for security, all while my daughter smirks. FML

Today, while picking my daughter up from school, I saw her being beaten by two boys while the teacher stood there doing nothing. I ran to help, but then she pushed one of the boys off her. The teacher then pulled her away, yelled at her and then yelled at me for "not raising my kid right." FML

Stranger Danger!

Today, I was going into a store and saw a woman roughly handling a screaming toddler. I kept walking, until I heard the kid scream, "Help! You’re not my mommy!” I called 911 and stood behind the car to keep her from taking off. The cops arrived to see me fending off blows from a very pissed off grandma. FML

One of the few times I would ever see spanking as a reasonable punishment.

More like bratty kid. She's not smart, she's manipulative. Pretty different.

Well, the kid's pretty clever. If you can manipulate people at four, you're smart.

I really hope you punished her. Kids need to learn more common sense and respect nowadays.

Wasn't it proven that "stranger danger" does more harm than good because most child abductions are done by someone the child knows?

Sorry but this kid is not smart , she is a brat! she should be punished and told why pulling a stunt like that is bad. Op is lucky that the stranger only tackled him instead of beating op. The kid doesnt deserve a reward for her bad behavior, that just means she thinks she can get away with it and will do it again. besides young kids are gullible if a stranger offers them candy they would take it ! that is why kids need to be taught stranger danger and that it is to only be used when actually happening.
