Moral Dilemma: Choosing to Help in a Risky Situation

Imagine you're traveling on a train with your daughter, engrossed in reading a newspaper. The train has reached a station with a short stop duration. At this moment, you notice a lady with a young little boy and heavy luggage trying to board the train. She places her seemingly heavy luggage on the train first, but as she's about to get on with her son, the train starts moving. It becomes increasingly difficult for her to get on board as the train picks up speed.

Just as you're about to get up and help her, your eyes catch a headline in the newspaper: "Kidnappings of children on trains becoming more creative." This information gives you pause and raises concerns about the safety of your own daughter. In light of this headline, will you still go to help the lady, or will you have second thoughts about intervening?
