I've never been in the situation but I would hope that I would act in a positive manner for the child's safety. Many child abductions could be stopped if people were proactive in these types of times.

Ninjajp/Slayerslice appeal	Gotta love the heartwrenching music. I wouldn't get involved if I thought it was just a disobedient kid, because I think it's just disrespectful to the parent and you might just make the kid get into more trouble by making the parent more angry. I don't think it's always just that you think someone else is going to do something about it, but also you might think that it can't be serious if nobody else is saying or doing anything. If it was obviously a kidnapping or someone getting hurt I like to think I would probably stick around and maybe ask other people what they think, and then go and check. I'm not that confident really so I know I probably would take my time most days.

Firstly there's the chance that it's just the guys kid making a big scene because he didn't buy her a toy or something, then if you actually did call him out on it what could you do? The guy can easily say it's his child while the kid can say she doesn't know him, either the kid's lying because she's in a bad mood with the parent, or she is legit being kidnapped. If you tried to call the police or something and made the person wait only to find out he really was her parent then you'd have wasted at least 3 people's time right there (Your own, the parent and the cops) and made a right fool of yourself. Of course sometimes if you ever call someone out on such a thing then they might get too scared to even try to lie and attempt to run away so I guess it's at least worth asking about it, you might be doing exactly what the child wants you to do but I think it's better to make a parent slightly angrier than it would be to realize you let a kidnapper escape with a child. Overall if it was me I think I'd first keep my eye on them for a little bit, like the 2 guys in the video did, and if I truly felt that the child was in legit danger I'd at least approach the guy and ask about it. Of course he'd probably just say he was her father, while the kid continues to deny it and that's where I'd get stuck.

Like that Edit Also i have ignored a few situations like this cause i have been in a bad mood But for the most part like my dad im a good person My dad is very nice and would help anybody he could and i have followed in his footsteps Edited by Havoc_Wreaker, Jun 12 2012, 09:32 PM.

I've been like that since I was a kid. I will always try and help someone in need, but I think that also is partly because of the good-natured part of the world I grew up in. Most people are friendly and helpful here. Also, you need to pick and choose your moments when you want to be a hero. If you see 5 guys assaulting a woman or something, and you're by yourself, probably not much you can do. Call the cops, distract them. Don't abandon her though. Don't jump in, be a hero, and get killed. Nobody would win. Actually, I was in a moment like that a week or so ago. I was sober, and I drove my friends downtown to go drinking. Near the end of the night, I saw a girl I grew up with in school (not someone I'm particularly close to) getting greased on by a guy who was being wayyyy too pushy. She was obviously uncomfortable. I didnt jump in right away, because if I did, there was a 100% chance I'd have a fight on my hands. The guy was drunk after all. I just watched, and waited to see if it would escalate. If he sexually assaulted her, I would have jumped the guy. Instead, they guy backed off after, and everything was ok. Edited by sylentknyte, Jun 13 2012, 01:54 AM.

The problem is, if the people are family, then its arguably wrong to step in because its a familial situation and issue.
