A Man Lured Her Off The Playground When She Was A Kid, And Her Parents Caught, Then Tortured Him

When TikToker Pardes (@pardesseleh) was around four or five years old, she lived in Los Angeles with her parents. One day, her parents took her to the park to hang out with her relatives. There were two different playgrounds at the park, and a man lured her over to one of the playgrounds.

Once they arrived at the park, her parents started unloading picnic supplies from the car. Pardes took the opportunity to run over to the first playground.

A middle-aged man came over to her and asked if she wanted to play. At the time, she didn't know English very well because she hadn't started going to an English-speaking school.

To her, this man was just another potential friend. She was always seeking to make connections with people and had zero sense of stranger danger. He ended up taking her to a different playground.

Her parents and relatives began freaking out when they realized she was gone. They checked the first playground, and she wasn't there.

Then, they saw her with a complete stranger at the second playground. Her parents rushed over and confronted the man. They did not let him leave. They forced him onto the spinning top structure and began spinning him around.

"They basically started to have fun with this guy, and my mom is yelling in his ears while my dad and uncle are spinning the guy around," recalled Pardes. "The guy is just begging them to stop."

As a child, Pardes thought her parents were being mean and torturing her playmate, but now as an adult, the memory makes her feel so loved and cherished. She feels that all child predators should be dealt with in this way.

"They should be dealt with at the community level," said Pardes. "They should be made a spectacle of. People should create entertainment out of torturing them before sending them off to the police."

"When it comes to male predators, I think humiliation is a really important tactic. I think it's a really effective disciplinary tool."

Many men like to show off in front of other males, so Pardes' logic is that the only thing that could harm a man more than going to jail, getting beaten, or getting robbed is being humiliated in front of other men.

In the comments section, many TikTok users shared similar stories about their families protecting them from male predators.

"At age four, in East LA, my dentist put his hand on my leg and slid it up my dress as he turned his little swivel chair. My mom started screaming. He kicked us out and said my mom was being hysterical. That night, my dad and tios were waiting for him to leave. He was hospitalized, and his practice was permanently closed that week," commented one user.

"When I was five, I was out with my family on a pier in San Francisco. A man came up, grabbed me, and threw me over his shoulder and started walking away from my family while they weren't paying attention. My dad and grandpa noticed at the same time and ran over to us, grabbed him by both arms, and threw him over the pier into the bay," wrote another.

"When I was in eighth grade, the janitor at my school started trying to pursue me. I was 13, and he was in his twenties. My dad found a birthday card he gave me with his phone number in it. Not sure what my dad said when he called him, but it must have scared him pretty bad because I never saw him at school after that," added a third.
