Social Experiment - Good people in this world!

I would probably play the good guy and pretend I didn't hear or see anything -- makes for good office politics.

Smart. He might be your boss next week. You never know.

I do wonder if some people (especially men) would be wary of even going near someone else's child because of the social stigma of child predators and abductors. I'm sure it's hard for those who would want to check or help but are worried if the parent came back right away seeing them break the window for a baby they'd assume the worst and not trying to help. So I don't know if it's really about people caring more about animals than babies. Most people wouldn't assume you're trying to steal a dog if you're breaking into the window of a car. It's unfortunate that so many seem to be paranoid these days and less trusts breeds fear and indifference.

This is a key part in the decision making of many men. Most babies/young children, aren't left in a vehicle alone and the car used had dark tinted windows, so the thought would be that there is someone inside with the baby in this case. Animals, for the most part, are left alone in vehicles and lots of people go up to a car just to say hi to a dog, especially a puppy.

So as an experiment this failed for obvious reasons.

It's sad that seemingly more people stopped to help a dog than a baby. The only problem is that there is no control group in this so called experiment. We have no way of knowing if the same people that helped an animal would also have helped a human or not, etc. Interesting all the same.

The dog might be easier to see.

In this case, there was no dog or baby in the car. The widows had a dark tint, preventing anyone from being able to see clearly inside without getting right up to the vehicle.
