NEW YORK (AP) – Correspondent Natalie Morales ended up in tears
when she put herself and her 8-year-old son through the same
parenting test that “Dateline NBC” is subjecting others to for a
series that starts Sunday.
Using hidden cameras and actors, the network set up scenarios to
see if children really follow their parents’ instructions to avoid
strangers, not get into a car with a drunk driver or not cheat.
The results will probably depress you.
Time and again, children gave their names and addresses to a
“stranger” who had taken their picture and talked about putting
them on TV. Promised free ice cream, they climbed into a van driven
by an actor who could easily close the door on them and speed away.
Parents watched it all on monitors nearby.
