What a nice story. This is how a community is supposed to work. An adult sees an unaccompanied child wandering around, the adult’s instinct should be to help the child. Exactly what she did. And as she points out, she’s not a hero. Just doing the right thing. Contrast this to the story the other day about the guy who got beat up for offering to help pay for someone’s meal and then the other patrons at the restaurant just walked over him to order their food.
And thereby risk being accused of kidnapping and molestation. Yes, I'd take the risk, but I'd be extremely upset if questioned like a perp. Probably end up jailed for smacking a cop in the chops.
