Good Samaritan' bullied, beaten and called a kidnapper after helping lost child
http://www.cnn.com/2017/06/28/us/good-samaritan-mistaken-for-kidnapper-trnd/index.html
Years ago I was on a camping trip, I think it Pinnacles National Park and I was walking a trail alone.
There was about a 7 year old boy screaming and crying, so I went up to him and asked what was wrong.
He said he was lost, but I was worried if I help the boy, may be someone would accuse me of something horrible.
Just about 30 seconds later a young couple appeared on the trail, so yelled for them to come over and help.
I explained the little boy was lost, and asked that they stay with the boy, and I’d go running up the trail yelling for the kid’s Dad.
They were so kind, and helped us. I found the boy’s Dad, who in my mind’s eye was a real asshat,
the kid was still in tears and the Dad was scolding the kid for getting lost.
I was so glad that young couple helped us, the Asshat Dad would have been the exact type to do that type of shit. _________________ Good Luck

Where is CPS? No one is asking the parents why their two year old is walking around unattended? What else is going on in that family? _________________ 21 million of these cars were built,and everyone of them were sold...kinda astounding given how unreliable they are.---johhnypan |

This is the kind of irresponsible behavior (on the part of the parents of the kid) that causes good people to do nothing, and often leads to tragedy. Thankfully there are still people out there that will continue to do the right thing. |

I was leaving a restaurant with a group of people & noticed a 4-5y/o following my family between two parked cars that were perpendicular to the flow of heavy traffic, I stood at the end of the cars to block her from walking out into the traffic without touching her. One of the parents came out of the restaurant to retrieve the child & gave me a dirty look. I literally just kept the kid from being run over & didn't even get a thanks. _________________ Everybody born before 1975 has a story, good, bad, or indifferent, about a VW.

People are stupid and paranoid nowadays, partly thanks to the current state of news media reporting of such things, but their overreaction and subsequent Facebook and other abuse should be met with legal repercussions.
If anything they need to be reminded that most child abuse and abduction is done by family members, not randos on the street. _________________ How to Post Photos

Reminds me of the time when I was driving and a group of kids threw a rock through my windshield (which could have killed me).
I got out of the car and chased them down (anger-fueled adrenalin).
When I grabbed one by his shirt, he started screaming "MOLESTER!"
Luckily I had witnesses and the police agreed to scare the shit out of the kids and their parents. _________________ 1968 Beetle |

This would be my first instinct - to leave it alone. But I had to grab a 3 yr old out of the way when a car almost plowed her outside a Walmart. I looked around and I saw woman w/ several other kids way back in the store doorway. Turned out she was supposed to be 'watching' these brood for someone. Unbelievable.
Someone came up to me and said lucky I was there or otherwise the kid would have been deadmeat. WE just shook our heads.
People should not have kids if they could not take care of them. I feel bad for kids who are abused by parent neglect or otherwise. Just terrible.
When I see kids playing in the street, I always yell out C-A-R!!!! when I see one approaching. They clear out quick. |

Strangers will ignore children in a car but circle like hyenas if a dog is there. Waiting to pounce on the owner when they return. I blame social media idiots. _________________

No good dead goes unpunished.
A man collapsed next to my father and my father decided he couldn't breath. He gave the man a tracheotomy. The man sued him. Thankfully we have what's called Good Samaritan laws. _________________ www.vwnos.com [email protected]

Ok, I gotta know, was it determined that the tracheotomy was not necessary?
And how was it that your dad had the training & the wherewithal to do it? _________________ Everybody born before 1975 has a story, good, bad, or indifferent, about a VW.

My father is a doctor, same as his father before him. The tracheotomy was necessary. The man was choking to death. Without it he would not survived to sue. It's actually a simple procedure not that I would take unto the practice lightly. The man was upset that a scar was left behind.
You save a man's life and he sues you. It's just unfathomable.

That's a lucky bastard that falls out next to someone that can actually perform something like that at a moments notice. Your dad should have presented the fumb ducker with a bill afterwards. _________________ Everybody born before 1975 has a story, good, bad, or indifferent, about a VW.

There has GOT to be more to this story than that. A tracheotomy? Seriously??
In other news, f&@$ing social media has done FAR more damage than good over the years. Those social media outlets should be held just as responsible for the crap that gets posted on them as the dipshits who post it. I fucking HATE social media and what it REALLY stands for (i.e. profit and screw those who suffer because of it.) Also, I'm NOT your friend if I've never even freaking heard of you. |
