1. Nice to see so many step up and try to do something

even though they had little idea what to do.

2. the lady hugging that girl

5. She had her shit TOGETHER.

Nobody else in that scenario tripped to the legal issues about crossing a state line with a minor without explicit parental permission.

3. I hate the premise of that show. I think it takes an awful lot of hubris to set people up so you can

critique the presumed ethics of their responses.

It's like some kind of behavior police.

4. I agree.

I was looking for the words to describe why this show annoys me. You put it perfectly.

[AtheistCrusader]

6. People that object don't get their segment aired.

There's actually a lot to be learned from these scenarios.

8. Hey, AC, gotta agree, cause when and if it happens for real, you don't have a "second take" to get

it right. Plus those that watch such a show do so on their own choice. Thanks for showing.

7. Wow...it taught me a lesson.

I'm not sure what I would have done before I saw this clip. Now, I know what I would do. Thanks for showing it. A very dear friend of mine just posted, not a half hour ago, that her 16 year old cousin just disappeared. This touches home.

9. The premise of the show bothers me, but it gets you thinking too. The scenario is not that

far from real life and did point out that people need to do more than take a picture sometime.

10. I ate at that restaurant

in Weatherford, OK a couple of months ago. Had the spamwich. Meh.

11. Thank you for this, Mr. Scorpio -

Most large cities now have some sort of runaway shelter - that won't necessarily force the kids back into a bad home situation. I'm going to be carrying this name and phone number with me from now on -

What is the National Runaway Safeline (NRS)?
We are the federally-designated national communication system (hotline and website) for runaway and homeless youth. Youth and family members call 24 hours a day to work through problems and find local help from social service agencies and organizations. Some callers just need someone to talk to, others need help finding a shelter, food, medical assistance, or counseling. Some callers are on the streets, others are struggling with other issues and we work with them to identify options to prevent them from leaving their home, when possible and if appropriate.

13. I'd step in, but with some "oomph" behind the step.
