Yes, I would try. If my abilities and resources allowed me to care for it. Growing up, you would know (for my own personal satisfaction) that even trapped on an island, I made a difference in someone else's life.
Regarding the person in the burning car, for police and firefighters the standard is that you help without endangering yourself. Otherwise you put two lives at risk. However, I don't think that would stop me. But weigh out the facts rationally. If you are the family breadwinner with four children and a spouse, they need their father. You save the dumbass kid who crashes his own car recklessly, and he goes on to be a senator who cuts budgets and has an affair with his pageboy while promoting faithbased family values.
As crompsin said, you could eat the child.
