This is exactly why it’s important to keep the myth going that the city has alligators in its sewers from people flushing small pet alligators down the toilet when they start becoming a hassle to own.

We have relied on this lie for generations to keep kids out the mother fucking sewers. I don’t care where you live. Tell your kids about NYC’s sewer gators today. Let that shit spread from playground to playground from sea to shining sea once more.

If the fact that it’s an NYC sewer isn’t enough to keep kids out of it, I don’t think gators will either.

Yeah I dunno, I'm in Canada; can I say flushed bears instead?

House hippos. Then show a video explaining how hippos eat people.

Jheeze those house hippos were such a fkin nuisance growing up. I can’t count how many times I’ve flushed them down the toilet.

Gahhh one of those fat fuckers clogged our toilet and we had and inch of water on the bathroom floor. Well, that's what my kid tells me. I didn't see it, could have been a massive dump and he's blaming the hippo.

Or ya know, teach your kids reality. If fecal matter and a rat filled maze don't keep them out, then they probably wanna pet the alligators anyway, and they belong down there. Or hear me out, we just take the Futurama route, and we keep our mutants down there. Unless they get a day pass because we're not monsters.

How do you know these smarties didn't go in there to find alligators? Best to be upfront and teach them facts than expect them to not go looking for santa when you tell them he lives on the north pole.

This would have been me as a kid.

I used to stuff weeds into the drains on my block to "feed the Ninja Turtles." My elderly neighbor would just smile and nod like I was doing a good thing, and then pick it all out after I went in the house so that the block wouldn't flood next time it rained. Lol

Witnesses say they were rescued by 4 anthropomorphic turtles who provided them with pizza.

You guys ever see the episode of Malcolm in the Middle when him, Reese, Dewey and Stevie get lost in sewer tunnels? Reese can’t stop talking about how he saw Stevie’s mom naked.

Where I live there are tons of old underground bunker/factories from ww2. There are tons of incidents where kids went in to play there and the things are several kilometers long and several stories deep. As far as we know all of them got out but noone knows if they are connected with any missing children's cases because they are so large and some areas can't be entered if you want to leave them again.

Me too! In the early 1970s we used to access the storm sewers in our town of Rutherford, NJ and could walk all the way out into the Meadowlands ( this was before they built the sports complex and Giants Stadium). Probably was well over a mile. It just curls my hair to think of it now. We got caught when a cop heard us talking while we were at a sewer grate. He bent down to take a look, saw us and then his hat fell off. My brother’s friend grabbed it and took off laughing. Within a couple days they had put a big gate over where we used to walk in!

We used to play in abandoned houses/buildings and on the top of a mile-long stretch of abandoned elevated train stations.

Our parents especially hated the second one but that just meant that we'd duck a little lower while passing through the portion of it that overlooked our street.

Sounds like they just got lost and ended up in Jersey. No biggie.

Amateurs. When I was a kid and we explored the storm sewer tunnels we took chalk to mark out along the way to get back.

We used to walk as kids from south beach storm drains to like Huguenot near the golf course. They probably lost their wifi signals and panicked.
