It is mostly just developed countries that suffer this. Go to most third world countyies and most people will be glad to help.
Picture this: A grown man is dragging a screaming child, a young girl. Do you confront the man and find that he is her father, a very stressed and single parent with an ADD child? Or leave them be, and later hear on the news about the naked body of the same child in a ditch?
In Britain, the only legal means of defense in a foghorn. You aren't even allowed pepper spray. Word to the wise: A sharp, high pitched scream is far more likely to get help from the public than any other yelling.
