Well, speaking from the non-parental, but still maternal instinct, point of view, I probably would have tried to help too. If I see a kid (or parent) that appears to need help, and I have the opportunity to assist, I do. However, not being a parent, I wouldn't see myself as a threat because I don't think in the way an actual parent does. I would just be going from the knowledge that I'm not a threat, not even thinking that the parent may perceive me as such. It's good to have the parental perspective, because now I know to be more cautious, and to be sure to offer any services before actually giving them.
