I mean, I would have performed some of the details much differently. But as a father of children, what strikes me is not so much the message which is presented to teenage internet users, but rather the message that is meant for the parents, like me, and like you. Whether or not the star of the video or the parents of the kids scared the f#@$%n s&#038;!@ out of the gullible victims, I think that any sober responsible parent needs to be woken up about the potential dangers that lurk out there for his children, and has to come to grips with what, if anything, he needs to do about it. <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s 11 o&#8217;clock, do you know where your children are, right now? Nowadays this question is just as valid at 2 o&#8217;clock in the afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>I would be honored if you could share with me what you think.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This video flashed by my eyes, I think that I saw it on Facebook, and I want to share it with my readers, and to give a short comment.
