kid lost, kind stranger gets hold of kid and talks to kid to determine where parents are, and then accused by cretin parents of all manner of unsavory acts, for whatever moronic motive or just stupidity or very worst, a trap set by migrant workers

Yes, we knew that. Thanks for confirming.

and as bystanders ignoring someone in need must also happen in america, would such news hit the front page of main stream papers and end up as a story in the financial times?

I have not seen any example of this since the very well-publicized story of the murder of Catherine (Kitty) Genovese, in 1964. Public outrage in the US has never completely died down, to this day.

Seeing a bleeding wounded child and just walking by is for pretty much everybody all over the world, not done. A fully grown homeless man lying passed out on the sidewalk, sometimes, rarely, people don't know whether he's injured or drunk, and don't stop to find out, and it always draws outrage and attention. A tiny child, never.

You might expect it in wartime, among the shell-shocked and walking wounded, although I have never heard of someone passing by a wounded baby. Not in peace time, not in a civilized culture.
