'What Would You Do?' episode recap: Mother leaves 8-year-old son alone at the beach
Here is a recap of this week's episode of "What Would You Do?" with ABC's John Quiñones:
"What Would You Do?": Food Stamp Shaming -- What would you do if you witnessed a woman who was short dollars at the grocery store being shamed by the cashier for using food stamps? The cashier refuses to help, and doesn’t want other customers in line to help her either, claiming she, “gets enough help as it is.” This is based on an incident at an Albertsons Groceries in Gresham, Oregon. A woman using WIC assistance was short $12, when another customer offered to pay the difference. The cashier said no, and continued shaming the customer. Watch what happens:

"What Would You Do?": Asian Coming Out -- You’re at a restaurant where you witness a son deciding to come out to his very traditional Asian parents. The parents make it clear they will not accept their son’s sexual orientation, citing their culture and their beliefs. If you saw parents berating and rejecting their son for coming out, what would you do? Watch what happens:
"What Would You Do?": Free-Range Parenting -- A concept often described as the opposite of “helicopter” parenting, “free-range” parenting encourages children to function independently, with less parental supervision.

What would you do? Watch what happens:
"What Would You Do?": Fake Date -- What would you do if a beautiful young woman asked you to pretend to be her boyfriend for 10 minutes, just so she can appease her meddling mother? How far would you go to keep up the lie? Watch what happens:
