Would you have said something?

Was in the pharmacy and noticed a little jewish boy in the store. His shirt had some blood on it and his face had a bite or something and more blood. I kept debating if I should ask him something like are you ok and idk what else.
The cashier asked him if he needs a bandaid and then he touched his face and his hand came away bloody. He didn't know he was bleeding I guess

Would you have gone over to him?

Me? Yes. That's my personality. I would offer anything I had on me to help. Water, baby wipe, bandaid. I have done this many times on the street or in the park etc.

Of course. If a little boy, he wouldn't have to be Jewish and if Jewish, he wouldn't have to be a little boy.

ETA, a little boy wandering around a store all by himself, bleeding or not, is cause for concern.

Yes 100% - boy, girl, young or old - yes I would intervene and offer help if I saw someone bleeding.

I would step in and ask if they’re ok, if they need help... Notify parents if necessary...

I would be wary actually... I'd try to see if his parents are around or if I could call them first. I'm really uncomfortable touching strange kids. I'd sooner hand him supplies and have him clean himself off.

That makes more sense. And this is why all kids should know their phone numbers by heart...

Of course. A young child, alone and bleeding? Doesn't matter boy or girl, Jewish or not. I'd like to think another kind soul would help my own child in such a situation.

Same. Of course I would help any person who is bleeding.
