Man refuses to help crying child at park 😠
A man at a local park refused to help a six-year-old child who fell off his scooter and started crying. When the child's mother asked why he didn't help, the man responded that the child wasn't hurt and therefore didn't need any assistance. The mother got upset and confronted him, but he walked away. Many people are divided on whether the man was in the wrong or not. Some argue that he had no obligation to help the child since he wasn't hurt, while others believe that basic human decency requires helping someone in need, regardless of whether they are injured or not.
