We all see people broken down on the side of the road daily. How many of us stop to offer help.
Today we have an Im all right Jack society, plus with current pc trends if we see a small child alone crying how many of us dare approach him/her to ask if they are ok in case we get accused of being a paedophile.
Sorry but society has made us what we are and we cannot blame other people for their reactions to situations.
I had a young girl about 14 ask me as I was getting into my car if I was going towards Mold could she have a lift. As a father myself I felt sorry for her but as a man I had to say no sorry not going that way (even though I was) I could not risk any sort of comeback if she accused me of anything. I then felt a guilty in case she got in a car with some wierdo but self preservation took control, and always will do.
Looking after number one and family is all that will matter to most people these days.
