What would YOU do if you saw a child being abducted? Well, YouTube user Yousef Erakat decided to find out.

In a video titled 'The Kidnapping Children Experiment', he takes to the streets, and with the help of a willing youngster, puts members of the public to the test.

Posted on the YouTube account fouseyTUBE the eye-opening clip urges people to act fast if they see a potentially dangerous situation unfold in front of them.

"Growing up my biggest fear was getting kidnapped," says the description.

"I would get home early from school and sit on my front lawn until my parents came home because I felt like someone was inside my house waiting for me.

"This video was a way for me to express that fear in an artistic way and also spread positive change as to why it is important to ACT when put into these types of situations."

The video shows how different people react. More than one person decides NOT to help when presented with what could be child abduction - or just a father and son row.

But never fear, there are still some brave people out there - and one woman who gives the would-be kidnapper a nasty pepper-spray surprise for his trouble.
