Today, I dropped my 7-year-old son off at school. He decided to have fun and step out of my car screaming "Stranger danger" while running away and pointing at me. I then had to get out of my car to shut the door he'd left wide open. This caused 20 other kids to scream "Stranger danger" as well. FML

I did not ground the boy. I simply told him his entire life belongs to me now until he's 18!

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

I would of grounded him anyway, and like someone suggested, have him read "the boy who cried wolf" for a lesson.

I was never taught stranger danger, is it an American thing? So many fmls about it, sounds like a silly idea, just teach kids to stay away from strangers not yell stuff out.

But that only works if they aren't being actively chased. If they are it helps to yell out something that's widely known so people with enough guts will help... Or at least someone will look in that direction and the "stranger" will be less likely to keep following.

No, I'm British and my parents/school taught us Stranger Danger too. It's a common thing although some countries may not have little things in school about it so it's mostly the parents' responsibility to teach their children.

This is why when kids actually are getting kidnapped people don't believe them because they already cried wolf smh
