Re: What Have We Become?
Having seen the clip in question I can see why thanks to the way things are concerning the safety that people turn a blind eye. Yet as a parent as many of you are I would hope that if it was my child lost and disorientated that someone would be a good samaritan and help. There is a minority in society that due to their actions have brought about the introduction of laws that with the help of the "we know better brigade" have made this situation what it is.
Me I would try and help but would keep my distance and hope I could get someone else as "backup" in what could become with ease a day from hell. So lets throw another thought in to this argument/discussion. My daughter has epilepsy so if she is not accompanied and drops in the street in a fit will people walk past and ignore her or would they help? Now if she is in a seizure and thrashing around would some one trying to help be taken by another who does not know what is happening have the police arresting the samaritan.
As I see it some common sense is needed when these situations arise and people need to stop and think what the poor child is going through. We are supposed to protect children but ignoring their plight might put them in danger from the "wrong" kind of person.
