[Less]

It's a couple of years since I saw a child in what seemed to be distress, I was walking home from the Stag one afternoon with Mick.

A little girl about 3 or 4 years wailing in the middle of the street declaring she was on her own and lost, I knelt down in front of her to ask what was wrong, immediately she changed her cry of woe to HELP, HELP, A STRANGER IS TALKING TO ME WHERE IS MY SISTER?

A girl of about 8 years of age came out of a house nearby and dragged her in.

I was in two minds,

1/ She had been taught to shout at the top of her voice, GOOD!

2/ I've just put myself through an embarrassing situation for a little sheet having a tantrum.

I think I would still try to find out and attempt to help rather than ignore and feel regret if something was to happen because I walked by though.
