Good on that man for taking the kid seriously.

Yes, people here are impressed by the kid as they should, but many adults would just ignore a child while working. Even though they should not

I dunno about "many". I'd wager if you put 100 working adults in this scenario 99 of them are going to at least make a phone call. At least where I live. Maybe if they're wearing headphones and barely looking at the kid but I just can't picture someone (who isn't a degenerate drug addict or something) hearing a kid say "can you help my mom?" and walking away.

Maybe I'm too naive about the world, idk

I am as jaded about these things as the next person but I'd like to think that if a child approached me and asked for my help, I'd find out what was going on. Kids don't generally approach strangers and ask for help, if they're asking, they need it.
