The "puppy trap"

local6.com in Florida has conducted an experiment which shows how easy it is to lure children away using puppies. A chilling read indeed.

Story:
A controlled experiment outside Central Florida homes found that a stranger with puppies could easily lure children into leaving inside a van.

Armed with a van filled with hidden cameras, a producer posing as a stranger with two puppies pulled into a Seminole County neighborhood.

With the parents' permission and blessing, they began a stranger danger test. The first test involved a large group of children ranging in age from 4 to 8 years old.

It took less than a minute before the children not only came close to the van but and then piled inside.
