88. Was anybody else prosecuted???
The other people on the creek bed, who may well have seen the child standing there??? NO. So you don't have a point. The strangers on the creek bed, who did ignore the child standing there in danger, were not prosecuted. Because they were never in a position to be a guardian to that child, or presumed the woman was because of her actions in regards to that child.

How would you feel if you were standing on that creek, worried about that little boy but saw that woman take the little boy away, maybe talk to the little boy later. She's the responsible guardian so you let her be. Then the kid falls in and she does NOTHING. How would you feel? Then has the audacity to say she had no responsiblity? Most other adults standing there would say, well hell, if I'd known she didn't think she had a responsiblity, I'd have picked the kid up myself.

Like I said, you're entitled to whatever relationship with kids you do or don't want to have. But this is the norm for most adults and what most adults expect from other adults.
