A YOUNG mum and reality star has shared the terrifying moment a stranger appears to try to lure her toddler into his car.

Ammersen Chambers, an 18-year-old star of Teen Mom Australia, was in the Cardinia Reservoir Park south of Melbourne with son Jiyah yesterday when the incident occurred.

4 Teen mom Ammersen Chambers has shared footage of the moment a stranger appears to try to lure his child into his car

4 The man is seen saying to Chambers: 'I like kids. Can I show my girlfriend?'

Footage shot by friend Taylah Graham shows 18-month-old Jiyah walking towards the man, sat nearby in a silver SUV, as Chambers follows closely behind.

The man asks Chambers how she is, to which Graham, stood a few metres back, responds: "What do you want?"

The man gets out of his car and walks towards Jiyah, saying: "I like kids. Can I show my girlfriend?"

He then bends down as if to pick Jiyah up, at which point Graham can be heard shouting "Oi!" and the footage ends.

Chambers is one of a number of young mums who feature on reality series Teen Mom Australia, which follows the lives of the mothers as they navigate motherhood as well as family and romantic relationships.

She is mother to Jiyah, born in February 2018, and second son Nakoah, born earlier this month.

After the incident, she posted the footage to Facebook and wrote: "This male and his girlfriend drove past and whistled.

"About ten minutes later he returned and parked on the other side of the carpark and sat there for ten minutes until Jiyah started walking towards the car park.

“He then asked how I was, and as he hopped out of the car, he said, ‘I like kids, can I show my girlfriend?’

“He tried to pick Jiyah up. I also had Nakoah in my arms so things could’ve been very different.

"Also went to the police station but nothing can be done as he didn’t actually touch Jiyah."

Graham also shared the video, and added: "They quickly drove off as I started yelling and Ammi walked off.

"Ammi stayed so calm. After today she’s probably one of the bravest mums I’ve met."
