Back in the late 70s I worked at an animation studio called Ovation Films, Inc... and THIS was one of the first commercials I worked on. The animation was done by a man named Howard Basis, and I did the "in-betweens" as his assistant. I was floored to discover recently that this commercial was featured on Family Guy! I thought I was having some sort of flashback!...

The only time you should talk to a stranger will be if they work there. Like if you are in a mall and got lost, it’s best to talk to a cashier or talk to the guard working there. If you were in an emergency at home, you get help from a stranger. If you were home alone and worried that someone may break in, you had to get help from the neighbors or your parents.

This had happened to me when I was around 13 years old. I was hanging out with my dad at his business. He was busy working, so I decided to walk to the gas station down the street to buy some snacks. It was a 2 minute walk. At the gas station, some old man was parked towards the back of the building. He saw me walking and offered me a ride home. He said he knew my mom from work. Even setting aside that my mom was a stay at home mom, it was still obvious what he was doing. I declined and kept on walking. He never got aggressive or physical.

Should have talked about being wary of family instead of strangers. A divorced mom or dad, an uncle or aunt, grandmother or grandfather, they are more common to steal children than strangers. We don't like to talk about this as it sounds insulting. But, your children are more likely to be hurt and abused by your family than strangers on the internet.

True that, the other day i was with my family on a local theme park and we went into a old toys museum (very cool) and i hear a phone notification and when i turn around i see a mother and 2 young kids (probably 7 to 10 years, i dunno i don't care) and i was expecting the mom to pull out her phone, but no. It was one of the little kids, parents these days, i had my first at the age of 13 when i started high school

Children are more likely to be kidnapped by somebody they know. Still, don't talk to strangers. Human beings can't be trusted. Teach your children how to defend themselves too. If they are chaotic, they will be less likely to be taken. Don't call for help either. Scream 'fire' & don't stop fighting until the kidnapper leaves them alone. Be smart, be safe, be pure chaos in the face of danger. Don't let yourself be taken away from those that care about you.

I remember I once twitted a post of "things to do in case of kidnapping attempt" and you would be surprised by how many people ignored it except for those who started to call out on me saying that things like that should not happen at all and that I was part of the problem by encouraging people to be prepared for such things

This was perhaps the most super-serious kid message of the era. And powerful. A 2021 survey showed that 9 out of 10 people still recognize McGruff, who premiered in 1980. McGruff was created as a bloodhound, specifically, because true to their name, "This breed is famed for its ability to discern human scent over great distances, even days later. Its extraordinarily keen sense of smell is combined with a strong and tenacious tracking instinct, producing the ideal scent hound, and it is used by police and law enforcement all over the world to track escaped prisoners, missing people, and lost pets" (Wikipedia).

I was the kind of kid who was very trusting of adults, but I immediately remembered seeing this PSA between Saturday morning cartoons, so I just stood there shaking my head no. The guy eventually drove off. Who knows what would have happened to me if I got in that car. Thank you McGruff!

Really? It was only this commercial? Because I was a kid in vaguely this period of time and it wasn't just one commercial, I was constantly being told not to talk to strangers and definitely not to get into a car with one by teachers, and a few times they had a police officer visit the school and lecture everyone in the auditorium to say this. It was a message that was kind of hard to miss. Then again, so was "Just Say No", yet it seems like I was about the only one to take that seriously or else there wouldn't be much drug use today.

Back in the 80's when I was in day camp, they had us watch an educational video that was hosted by McGruff. Made in the early 80's. It did show this with Jenny being approached by a stranger but she just keeps walking away knowing not to accept rides from strangers. It also showed how easily property can be stolen. A boy rides his bike to school and leaves in the bike rack. When school's over, he comes back for it and sees that it's gone! He yelled, "My bike!" He then rides a new bike to school, puts it in a bike rack but this time chains it up. McGruff is heard explaining that a bike should always be locked up when you leave it, even if you're only gonna be gone a few minutes(It takes less than a minute for an unchained bike to be stolen). Another boy is seen riding his skateboard. He comes home and leaves it out in front of the house while he goes in but when he comes back, it's gone and he yells, "My skateboard!" When he's riding a new skateboard, he brings it in with him when he gets home. McGruff is heard saying that items shouldn't be left out in the open carelessly and they should also have your name and address written on it. He also mentioned how it's important not to forget to lock doors when leaving home. We then see a man, his wife and their daughter leave their house and get into the car but McGruff is heard mentioning that the husband forgot to lock the door. As the family drives off, we then see 2 guys hiding behind the bushes watching the family leave and as soon as the family's gone, the 2 guys just open the door and go into the house and start stealing stuff. McGruff is heard saying that people forget to lock their doors, criminals can break in easily. One other thing I remember is that he mentions that if you find an item laying around somewhere but know that it belongs to somebody, give to an adult to take care of. We see 2 boys on a baseball field and see a baseball glove laying on the field and they think they'd better give to the coach. McGruff says that those boys did the right thing. That's mostly what I remember from it but all things that should be remembered.
