A social experiment was conducted to raise awareness about online child grooming. An actress posed as a teenage girl who had been chatting with a man online, who was actually an actor, but had lied about his age. The experiment took place in a public cafeteria, where the actress had agreed to meet the man. Unbeknownst to the actress, the man was actually a 55-year-old actor. As the situation unfolded, a lady in blue, who was also in on the experiment, intervened and alerted others in the cafeteria to the potential danger. The lady in blue, along with two other men, ultimately chased the actor out of the area and called the police. The experiment was revealed to be a setup, and the participants were commended for their reactions. The goal of the experiment was to highlight the importance of being aware of and reporting suspicious online behavior, particularly when it involves children.
