I know these were made in the 70's. But how sexist is this, I mean were women kidnappers, of course there must have been some. It's weird in Part 1 of this video, how the kids just say "No thank you" to the kidnappers and they accept it, instead of grabbing the young child and putting them in their boot. Creepy ads, give me the shivers. Thanks for the upload.
Me and my mate a year ago had this man asking us where we lived and asking us if we wanted a ride, so I hit him with a big stick in the park and ran and got my dog
The irony of these films, and why they were stopped was and is that strangers are not usually a risk. It is nearly always people known to the child. Parents, uncles, foster carers, child care workers etc who are a risk. Hence 'dont talk to strangers was dropped' as it often hid abuse as children wouldn't tell people.
remember kids...you can get a grown-up you don't like put in prison for 20 years and his house burnt down if you tell other grown ups he showed you his rude parts and offered you sweeties to touch them
I remember our class being shown this on a 16mm projector in the school hall in about 1980. Looks so old hat now, but the message is still relevant, and very well put over, actually.
Cops aren't always trustworthy. A female cop once purposely tried to lead my mother and me in a bad neighborhood. Also, there have been cases of policemen pulling over female drivers tand asking for sex or dates. You must be careful with EVERYONE.
my friend was out somewhere he wasn't supposed to be as it was ages away from his house and nearly grabbed by this guy but he got away. He decided to go home and tell his mum he was at a friend's house. Then a car stopped and someone inside said "Hey, what are you doing here?" and he said "Oh crap, listen here, you bleeping peado, i don't want a bleeping ride, bleep off, ok?" Even though he wasn't allowed to swear. Then he looked in the car....and it was his mum! XD
I was shown this film twice while I was at Primary School, I remember at the time there was a big controversy about it in the media, with some people saying its too scary for children. Can I just say, for my own part, I saw the film twice and I was not affected by it or scared in any way.
@wobber999 Absolutely. This little film highlights all the dangers without being overly graphic but without shying away from the seriousness of the theme it wishes to convey. It may be forty years old but things like this should still be shown in schools today.
omg this sends a shiver up my spine, it was always drilled into me even as a little girl that i must tell my mum where i was going, even when i was eighteen i always used to tell her where i was going lol........
I saw this as a kid in 1981 with all the other kids at my primary school (at the age of 6)-at the 03:20 mark, ever kid wet their pants . . . . 03:01 = "Hello sir. Could you get out of the car so I can beat the living crap out of you?" As an adult what they say at 05:55 is actually quite horrible- what's happened? Better not to know . . .
I could have told you that this was Richard Taylor Cartoons, the same company behind the Protect and survive animation, Crystal Tipps, and the Charley PIFs, but I would LOVE to know who the voice over for this is- he's the chap who provided the voice over for a very well known PIF about fireworks that ends "Will one of them be YOUR child?"
@halcaannen "chap" refers to a guy, fella, bloke, man, however you want to refer to a man. "Chap" is an English posh way of referring to a man, its not in use much in Modern English.
I saw this as a primary school first year c.1976. The scene where the narrator says the man could have taken Janet's clothes off and the bit about the girl in the car thinking she's going to see some puppies has stayed with me ever since, so the film did its job.
My God I remember this! They played it at my junior school, saw it when I was around 8. I so remember the bit about Lucy, with that sinister shadow looming over her as she whimpers on the sofa. The narrator's voice too, somehow it stuck in your mind. Still, hilarious how all the so-called ordinary men looked like caricature paedophiles. "They may be lonely or peculiar..." Peculiar! who says that anymore? Anyone remember the fireworks talks every Nov? The gory slideshow in the hall? Still done?
Not sure on the part where it says, telling some one where to go if they ask the way and nicely too. Adults don't need directions from kids. At least in my opinion.
@Emrald70 Try not to pass comment without thinking! I have spent hours taking details and looking for missing kids and I take EVERY one sriously even the ones that go missing twice a week and are usually found drunk! If you encourage an attitude of mistrust in the Police on this issue then we really cant help!
all i know of the police is news reports, and that you have to do what the law passed by the government says
just a few weeks ago i read about the police helping social services raid a house and take away a baby from her parents who hadn't been abused in the slightest
but if u react that strongly then i can see u care and i shouldn't pass judgement without knowing u
No problem. Apology accepted! It takes a decent person to do that and you clearly are. I do understand peoples frustrations at the type of thing you describe because I have felt it myself many times. What I love about these films though is that there is an almost universal trust of us and I am worried that kids are losing that . In a similar film "stranger danger" also around in the 70s in the opening credits it shows a cop and says "we all know we can trust him." That's how I want kids to feel.
Yes I spend most of my time arresting innocent people and being institutionally racist and from what I've been led to believe you no doubt wear a hoodie, drink too many alcopops and carry a knife. The daily mail has quite a lot to answer for!! I got into the job because I love the feeling of putting away a genuinely nasty piece of work. But like the video says most people are nice and kind. That includes people 12 - 20 and EVEN cops.
The Hillman Avenger - the getaway car of choice for the professional perv! (oddly enough, British police started using Hillman Avengers after this film was made!)
As I commented on Pt1, this is definitely the scariest short film ever made. I had completely forgotten the 'shadow' part yet at that scene a strange, yet familiar, cold flush of fear swept through me. Has any film ever been so effective at imprinting such strong emotion into people? Given the responses I can't think of any so powerful as to have a decades later effect. Incredibly powerful and proof that strong emotions really can lie dormant until triggered. Thank You Alanlovedog-A Classic!
bloody hell, the 3:13 part is well like a horror movie, but thats how PIF's were back then tho, scare you into never doing anything you shouldent. I think how children are educated now is weaker, and less effective
My God! I never thought I would see this again, I've been searching for it on youtube for ages and ages to no avail. Thanks for uploading this, I thought I'd imagined it! However, I think in its naive 70s way it doesnt address the fact that most children are at risk from members of their own family. A fact that wasnt picked up on in the 1970s.
Its not the fact they didnt realise it i dont think, its the fact that how can you easily make adverts safeguarding children from that?. Your own family is where a child should feel safe and be safe. Its like you could die in your car with your seat belt on when your stone cold sober, but you see adverts warning you not to drink and drive and not to drive without your seat belt on.
My goodness, this brings back a few unpleasant memories. They showed us this in school and the only scene I can remember is the one with the little girl cowering in fear on the sofa at 3.13. I think it scared the living shit out of everyone.
Yes, I was just saying this. Lucy on the sofa with the scary shadow. I remember it vividly. These kids were just like us, bar the accent. Living in HK now, I am amazed at the freedom of English kids. I'd forgotten it. HK kids are never ever allowed out to play. Supervised rigidly. Never seen a kid with scabby knees, dirty face, they're told not to run or shout. Never seen one really climb or swing, they're decorously pushed in a slight sway. And play on derelict sites!!!
I know these were made in the 70's. But how sexist is this, I mean were women kidnappers, of course there must have been some. It's weird in Part 1 of this video, how the kids just say "No thank you" to the kidnappers and they accept it, instead of grabbing the young child and putting them in their boot.
