When they got to the escalator, the woman stepped on first with the trolley, but the daughter didn't, and I was behind the daughter... ...the girl was scared for some reason, and the mother was shouting down to jump on, and the mother was getting worried. I just stood there and didn't fill the growing gap, now rather large between the mother and the daughter. It was busy in that station and a large queue was behind me. For some reason I just stepped on abandoning the girl... ...she then jumped on after me and ran up to her mother. Its at times like those I wish I was th person I want to be. When that girl hesitated in a busy station and by the second time the mother shouted I should of picked her up and put her on the escalator...instead of just standing there and then leaving her, letting the crowd behind me follow on.....

Just because you hesitate to do something like that doesn't mean you're a bad person.   Also, the world is pretty different now and it might be taken the wrong way if you pick up a random girl, even if only to help. Sad but true. well yeah thats what I thought...I mean I held back the crowd, so there wasnt a load of people between the mother and the girl....but I stepped on...the mother smiled at me though, when the daughter reached her.
