I had a bicycle accident when my 2-year-old son was riding on the back. His arm was pinned beneath the bike. I jumped up quickly with my legs bleeding to help him and he was screaming the entire time. I quickly glanced up and saw about 15 people standing around staring at me. One person was taking pictures with her mobile phone. I picked him up, saw that he was ok, and started to clean him and myself up. I didn't expect anyone to help me, but the standing around and staring at me ticked me off.
