Fortunately, his father was there before I was, but it bothers me that I had to be concerned about the possible repercussions of helping a fallen child.
I also saw a young lad tumble from his bike. I did not help him. I did ask if he was hurt, and he wasn't.

My wife said under the circumstances I did the right thing by doing nothing.
