Not sure if I agree or not with the advert being shown I think I would have to see the advert first to make my mind up- so that being said probably not a good idea to show it as the decision to veto as a parent is taken away from you.

There is I feel however an inherent danger with labouring the STRANGER DANGER aspect to children- the vast majority of children who have been abducted/assaulted have some knowledge or awareness of the individual- they arent strangers. Ian Huntley for example was not a stranger to Holly and Jessica. I personally have educated my children 11 and 7 that if it aint mummy or daddy or a very select list of significant others then NEVER go with them.
