We are currently living in a new period and in a different world. Even if we want to stay in our safe cocoon, the world is waiting for us to discover it. And, despite our best efforts, we cannot always keep an eye on our children to ensure their safety.

But one thing we can do as parents is provide our children with the information they need to stay safe and avoid the dangers that surround them. Every parent should teach their children the dangers of strangers and what to do in an emergency.

Of course, no parent wants their children to have to use these emergency rules or learn about stranger danger. Teaching children good behavior, on the other hand, can save lives.

A 10-year-old child from Pottstown, Pennsylvania, was walking home on November 11, 2022, when he was approached by a complete stranger.

Although Sammy Green didn’t know her, she claimed to know his parents, therefore she most likely knew Sammy Green as well.

She then began inquiring about Sammy’s relatives and the whereabouts of his father. At one point, she even told Sammy that he had to follow her and that she would bring him everything he wanted from the Wawa store.

Sammy immediately recognized the weirdness of this conversation. He felt nervous and worried right away since he didn’t like the way the stranger was asking questions.

Despite his growing fear, he was aware that he needed to act immediately. After recalling what his father had warned him about this type of situation—not to trust anyone if he is being followed and to appear casually—Sammy hurriedly made his way to a well-known store to seek aid.

Dani Bee Funky is a little neighborhood business near Pottstown. Hannah Daniels, a 17-year-old girl, was the only one present at the time.

The surveillance footage showed Sammy approaching her from behind the cash counter and swiftly explaining his problem to her while the other person waited by the door.

A strange woman was pursuing him, so he begged Hannah to pose as his mother. Hannah didn’t hesitate to assist the youngster, who was obviously in a frightening circumstance.

She moved as soon as Sammy did to separate the boy from the unidentified woman. As Sammy stepped back outside, the woman waited by the door, appearing to be confused.

She was unable to enter once Hannah yanked the door shut, so she simply left.

The unnerving occurrence was captured on surveillance cameras. The CCTV footage was difficult for Sam Green, Sammy’s father, to watch. Because of his son’s natural tendency to distrust strangers and his prompt decision to seek assistance, things might have turned out differently.

He sobs every time he watches the video clip that the CCTV camera captures. Sam claims that seeing your child seek help because he believes his life is in jeopardy pains him terribly.

He absolutely cannot stop thanking him for what he has done.

Hannah deserves credit for assisting his son and handling the situation with calm and presence of mind.

Dani Small, the store’s owner, has also congratulated the 17-year-old employee for executing her tasks correctly.

Many people, including Hannah Daniels, are eager to help youngsters in need. Who can forget the heroic teen who approached a kidnapping suspect and subdued him until the cops arrived?

The woman who contacted Sammy has already been located by police, and she is being advised to get mental health treatment. No legal action will be taken against the woman by Sammy’s family.

Child safety experts say Sammy handled this terrifying situation perfectly. He trusted his instincts, realized he was in a dangerous situation, and went for help.

Children should be aware that they have the right to talk to a trusted adult if they feel uncomfortable or afraid, according to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

Sammy’s dad has a lot of trauma seeing the film, but it’s a wonderful lesson of the dangers of approaching strangers. So that his kids will know what to do when a stranger approaches, he wants other parents to view the clip and talk about it with their kids. or even an unreliable family member or close friend.

The video below shows Sammy Green’s quick thinking in its entirety.
