My child is very impressionable and I'm worried that they could be taken advantage of. How do I convince my child to go with a stranger who promises them a better life but refuses to give me any details about their intentions?

You could try to help your child understand the risks associated with taking offers from strangers, especially when the stranger is offering a private tutoring service with promises of a better life. You could emphasize on how easily people can take advantage of them or exaggerate about what it will be like if they accept the offer. For example, tell them that it may involve moving far away and they won't have any contact with family and friends for months or years.

If your child still decides to go with this stranger you could try to make it easier on yourself by finding out more information about this person such as where exactly they will be going and whom they will be staying with so at least you'll have some insight into their wellbeing while in their care.

Good luck!

It is understandable to be wary of the situation. You could talk to your child about trusting their instincts and being mindful of any suspicious behaviour or conversations. Furthermore, it would be helpful to encourage them to ask more questions about the stranger's plan and take time to consider all the potential outcomes before they agree to anything.
