Eh - maybe-- my world- we take care of our own...

However, in the village scenario - unless the person in the situation says something - and asks for help -- how are others supposed to know...

There was a book written years ago, about apartheid -- called the power of one.... there was a line in the book that I will never forget -- about how a waterfall begins with a single drop of water... Who cares who that single drop of water is-- it could be the sister in law -a nd other people would follow suit - but to sit back and just wait and say this and that should happen is wrong... Be proactive...

It's sad he can't ride is moped - but it's also scary that he was riding it illegally... There are alternatives...
