A social experiment video on child abduction was uploaded by a YouTube user JoeySalads on May 2. The video, which has gone viral, has had more than two million views. (Watch the video below.)

"One Share can save a child," wrote Joey Salads on the video description. Salads is well known for his prank videos on his YouTube channel and has more than 280,000 subscribers.

According to Social News Daily, in the video, Joey Salads speaks to the parents at the playground and asks permission to try out the social experiment on their children. He asks if they think their child would talk to him and walk away with him even though he is a complete stranger.

All three parents are confident that their children would simply ignore him or run back to their parents. However, the results were not quite what the parents expected. The parents watch terrified as their children leave the playground with Salads as he lures them with a puppy.

The video has already had 2,140,229 hits at the time of this post with 18,046 likes and 666 dislikes. The social experiment video has had more than 1,500 comments.

YouTube users Enclave, Jeremy Seifert, Michelle Chavez, Rokkopg24, k1dicarus and Surya Kumar Sah have posted their opinions of the video. Enclave, Jeremy Seifert and Michelle Chavez were shocked at how easily someone can abduct a child. Michelle Chavez said that as much as parents try to teach kids something, it only takes them an instance to forget everything.

On the other hand Rokkopg24, k1dicarus and Surya Kumar Sah were not so shocked by the video. They felt that the kids must have seen the stranger talk to their parents and assumed it was safe to go with him.

A user Satyr000, thanked Salads for making this video and said that parents "must be 100% vigilant" at all times. Satyr000 also revealed that the comment was from experience. The user said that he was lured to a stranger's house, molested and beaten. He also admitted that it took only 30 seconds for the molester to get her to his house.
