Sadly, scams like these — those that prey on compassion — have existed for generations. They rely on the best parts of human nature: empathy, kindness, and the instinct to protect.
But when used as bait, those same instincts can place you in danger before you even realize what’s happening.
Law enforcement agencies and safety experts now urge drivers to follow one simple rule: if you ever see a stroller, car seat, or baby carrier abandoned on a dark or isolated road — don’t approach it.
Instead, stay in your car, lock your doors, and call local authorities to investigate.
It may feel heartless not to rush in, but it could save your life.
Criminals continue to exploit trust in creative ways, and awareness is your strongest defense.
So the next time you’re driving alone at night and something feels off, listen to that instinct — and share the warning. You never know whose safety your caution might protect.
