If you’re driving at night and see an abandoned stroller on the side of the road, under no circumstances should you get out of the car. Here’s why. The world can be a scary and unpredictable place, filled with dangers and challenges for those who let their guard down.

Unfortunately, no matter how cautious people are in their everyday lives, sometimes there are situations that even the most vigilant person can’t handle. You may have heard of the “abandoned child” trick but never encountered it yourself. As it turns out, there is something similar happening in reality. We couldn’t believe it until we came across a message from a mother who experienced it firsthand and wanted to warn others.

The mother wanted to spread the word that you should never stop and get out of your car if you see a stroller, especially at night.

Imagine this: you’re driving down an empty road late at night and spot a stroller by the roadside. In such moments, the first thing people usually think is that there could be a child inside, and they want to check it out.

In some cases, the driver might even leave the car to ensure everything is okay. But it’s at this moment, when the driver steps out, that the criminals hiding nearby strike.

“In the best-case scenario, they’ll just rob you or steal your car. In the worst case, you won’t make it out alive.” In situations like this, it’s better to simply call the police so they can check out the stroller themselves.
