I saw a person collapse...

Aww. If I were in your situation, I don't know what I would do either. Even thought I want to help him, I don't think I would be able to do something.

I too have had one such experience a couple of years back.I saw a woman begging on road.Like the boy she too looked hungry.It was a hot summer noon.I saw her requesting a man who ignored her and proceeded ahead.The woman tried to go to another man who was standing at the bus stop a little further.She was trying hard to walk.While proceeding to the man,she fell on the road.She collapsed and the next second the whole traffic on the road came to a halt to save her from being run over by any four wheeler.All this happened within minutes.I rushed to her,opened my flask and sprinkled water on her face.She opened her eyes.I turned back,rushed to a shop nearby,bought a bread and gave it to her.She somehow stood up on her trembling feet,tumbled to the roadside and ate up the whole bread there.I was unable to do anything for her beyond this as I did not have money.

It is really heart breaking to see that especially to a boy that should be in school instead of making a way to live and survive life. We really help other people even in simple ways we can without expecting anything in return.

That's just a heart wrenching thing to see. As much as we want to help them, we can only do a little for them, and even if we want to, we cannot help every kid who has to work that way for a living. Not when their very own parents lets it happen. Maybe we can report to the authorities about the incident, though I'm not sure what good can it do. At least maybe they will try to have the kid reunited to his folks and not be left out there.

In my home town these incidents occur in day to day life.. when i was small i also feel sad for these type of incidents but when i am started earning i always try to help these person with small amount during my birthday and others birthday in my family.. If you help someone their smile and happiness make you very happy.. You dont feel guilty because i think your are small now once you earn money you help them.. God bless you...

That's terrible, I've seen some pretty gruesome stuff myself and that's about along the lines of what it's like. I was surprised that I didn't do more, I've always thought that I'd take actions in those kinds of situations but they're just sooo shocking.

Well, it really make my heart heavy to see little children being forced to carry big burdens. I am sure though that there are many rich people as well who contributes for their well being. Now it is up for the little children and their guardian to participate. There are many activities that promotes well being of poor people but sadly, their cruel guardians keep them from attending it so i guess, if we see something cruel that can affect a child's growth, let's just report it to the police. :D
