In a world where the instinct to help those in need is strong, a new and warning scam has emerged that preys on the kindness of strangers. A concerned mother has taken to social media to warn others about something sinister. She stressed the dangers of stopping to assist what appears to be an abandoned baby or stroller on the side of the road.
The mother’s post, which has since gone viral, includes a picture of a stroller parked just off a road next to some bushes. Her urgent message reads: “If you see a stroller, car seat, or any type of baby situation alone in the middle of nowhere, please, I repeat, don’t get out. Be safe.”
The response to this warning was immediate and widespread. Many people expressed their agreement and shared their own concerns:
Safety Concerns: One person commented, “Yes, people lie in wait. At best they rob you, at worst they bash you too.”
Economic Desperation: Another noted, “Families are struggling, some of them will use kids as bait.”
