A staged kidnapping took place in Missouri because a 6 year old's parents thought their son was always too nice to strangers. Last Thursday after 4 hours from when the kidnapping took place, the police were notified and arrested about four alleged kidnappers. When the parents arrived at the scene, they notified the police that all of this was just a plot to teach their son a lesson about stranger danger. For the planned kidnapping, the child was put in the back of truck and he immediatly began to cry and the kidnapper said if we didn't start crying he would be shot with a gun.
This whole planned kidnapping was maybe a bit too far to just teach their son a lesson. After all, he was only 6 years old. Maybe he was born a nice kid and their parents should appreciate that and if he was still too nice to strangers in his adolescent years, then maybe they should teach him a lesson. He was probably terrified for his life once he got kidnapped. I think instead of parents teaching their kids lessons through cruel teaching abilities, maybe there should be a certain amendement or law that shows the importance of stranger danger just like amendments were proposed in the Guilded Age for the prohibition of alcohol.

This seems like it is going way too far. The poor child will probably be scarred for life while it may be one way to teach him a lesson it is definitely not the best way.
