There was another child on the outside, holding a coat down, trying to pull his brother up and out of well. While taking in the scene of everything, I noticed a rather tall (at least 6 foot) and fit man watching this scenario while having a conversation, and at least 5 or 6 people walk into the post office ignoring these children! I just don't understand how you could possibly turn a blind eye to a CHILD being in this space, obviously not going to get out on his own or with his brothers help and go about your day! I walked over and asked if they needed help (of course they did) and we worked together to get him out. It took 30 seconds. All of those people were too busy to give 30 seconds to a child they could visibly see needed help.
Maybe I'm a little more razzed over this than normal because I JUST returned from court dealing with a case that makes me weep inside, but this is not okay. We need to refocus our society. Yes those kids were dumb to be down there, but kids are dumb- we're adults, we're supposed to be there to give assistance, not be the dumb ones.
