Actually, that's not a good idea if you really want to help. It's a well-documented phenomena in social psychology called the "bystander effect" that the more people around, the less likely anyone will do anything about it. So the more people you see, the more likely it is no one is going to do anything to help. It happens because the more people there, the more likely each person is to think "someone else will do something".
