Trouble is, especially if you are man, if you run up to a strange kid and look after them, there is a good chance people will assume you are a pedo and then you are screwed. Its easier to just assume the responsible adult will be along shortly to pick them up.

Always taught my kids to look for a mamma with a stroller if they were lost. I get it though. I found a four year old crying and lost at the mall. I stood near him and flagged people down to get security. I did not touch him, I just told him that I was watching to make sure he was safe. I did not leave him even when security showed up. I stayed with him until his family was found.
