Thousands of serial killers we pass by in our lifetime. How many times have we’ve spoken to them and dodged a bullet.

Teaching children not to be enablers is more important

There blurry i aint fucking watching blurry..

I hitchhiked once when I was 14 and drinking my friends went home this van pick me up a party van filled with men they were going to a bachelor party and scolded the hell out of me but drove me home safe. But I always thank god they were Good Samaritans.

No wonder she didn’t want to tell her mother

I don't know if any of you have watched Dharman because this is exactly where he got the idea from

Thanks! Great to see an old afterschool special. Hope to see more

ugh! what mother tells their daughter she should be dating more than 1 boy?!

Not sure who is more pathetic- the mom or the dad

Thank goodness she had a supportive friend , boyfriend and brother. The parents could have done better especially the mom.

She looks so much like young Jennifer Love Hewitt, I had to do a double take.

Dom’s so pretty.

Never hitchhike 😮

Verry common to Hitch HIKE I Love thease After school specials

Conceal carry ladies.

Why she when got that car if she doesn't know dude😮

Oh omg 😱 she been rape that very terrible 😢 disgusting

This is pretty heavy and sad for an Afterschool Special. I just watched it and I cried. Reminded me of when my own Mother died. I miss her so much.

From 14 to 20s, I hitchhike everywhere. Most everyone did. I remember one Horrific story of a girl I went to school with. She actually didn't hitchhike. She was on the side of a street that had hardly no cars on it. It was also starting to get dark outside. Two guys that lived close to me. The parents of one of the guys were both attorneys. These guys picked her up and forced her to get in their car. She was taken to an abandoned house. They tied her up with ropes. They said they laughed at most all they did to her. They also said they were doing PCP all day and by having an ex boyfriend that smoked that crap, it puts you in a whole different dangerous mindset . But that's no damn excuse. These 2 guys tied ger up, beat her with chains, raped her over and over, stabbed ger, shot her twice and burned her body! From what they said she was still alive when she was caught on fire. Thus was in the 80s and with lawyers in both sides of their families the two guys didn't get the death penalty due to a plea bargain. They both got life. The family were well off and these two boys came from a good family and had everything. I blame most of it on PCE/Green, because my boyfriend was crazy after he smoked it. He came home after being gone for 3 days. He said I had the t.v. bugged, tut Ed it off, went in the bedroom and got those wire clothes hangars. He wrapped some newspaper around one and started hitting me with it. I ran out the door and called his brother for help. But my boyfriend was gone by time he gotthere. I had welts all over. But these guys knew what they were doing regardless.

weak

Mother put the fear of God in me about rides with anybody. I'm glad I listened.

Her mom was a real b**ch, typical silent generation/boomer. I’m glad my parents wasn’t like that too. Mom was from silent generation & daddy was a boomer. However, I had friends whose parents was like that. I use to hitchhike ALL the time back in 80’s & early 90’s. I think back at all the guys that would pick me & my friends up. Anything could’ve happened to us, I even hitched rides by myself. I’m grateful nothing ever happened to me.

I have hitchhiked 3 times in my life and everytime I had a friend with me. ❤ I know that's not any safer, but the third time...let's just say I'm lucky to still be here. And it wasn't a man either, but a group of homophobic girls. Very crazy experience going 120mph on a country road. 😳

So what happened to that scumbag ?

It's so nice to have a "Mr Fixit" ...

I was young 15 and drinking buzzed up walking home on a bad side of town. Overheated weak carrying groceries i just stole and a man who even looked like danger stopped and picked me up he seemed pretty nice but i quickly thought to be a step ahead of it and said i have to atleast get my purse/more drink from my friend's apt and then we could hang out more..drop me off here and then i went into the building and didnt come out for a very long time until way after he left. So stupid i could had been killed.

Moms need to watch this to see how not to react.

Great memories from long ago. I was 20 then. Make the best of your years. There will be good times and bad, sorrow and joy. Stay resilient and you will prevail.

They make hitchikin look like fun, man. Think I'll go try it.

Pretty pathetic family.....❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

What generation is her mom, the Silent Generation?

My dad used to be an alcoholic but he got help and has been sober for 17 years. I’m really proud of him🥰 Seeing him drunk made me decide to stay away from alcohol. I’m 28 and have always said no to drinking since I was a kid.

You would think she would have been able to tell the cop that the man's car looked very similar to his.

Omg I'd FORGOTTEN about these After School Specials!!!!

The unsolved horrible murder of Dana Bradley in 🇨🇦 on this island is believed to from her hitch hiking in the 80's hit home.. I never thumbed again. Only 2 blocks from me. We were all terrified I drive by I still get visions and chills, still haunts me... They are still out there driving around somewhere. I won't even take a Uber or taxi.

I never used to hitch BUT, I'm an old lady, lived in a small town and I rode with anyone who offered and they were always kind!!!

Now we are have to be afraid of the hitchhikers they are they ones in some cases that will hurt us . 😮😮😮😮

Geez the cop is aggressive. Geez so is her dad and her mother good lord

Just started my vintage tv movie binge last night. Even though I know by the title of the movie that it’s something tragic that happens I love these movies. She reminds me in a way of Jennifer Love Hewitt.

My nan used to tell her sister never to pick up hitchhikers they could be the bad guy and not the car driver in some situations.

so boom better?

Sonya from the first two seasons of Mamas Family!

Man at least she had her dad, her bf and the counselor to talk to. Although I admit, wish the dad had gotten his hands on the guy.

Ahhh, the '70s, when girls wore their pants waist around their actual waist instead of halfway down their crack, and boys wore their pants waist around their actual waist instead of down at their knees.

I was rape when i was 15 years old and the man who rape me he was 37 years old 😢😢😡

The problem is that many women dont stop for female hitchhikers .
