Good point. For example the documentary above from a few days ago. Watched it amazed. Completely selfless people who have adopted 9 kids that the care system was having problems with the. The last one 8 year old Maisie was put into care at four after her father beat her mother to within an inch of her life in front of the kids. Her young brothers tried to stop him and were also beat him. She witnessed all of it and much more. She then spent the next two years or so with another 10 'mums'.
It's an incredible documentary and incredible people.
I could never do it.

And I think adults* are programmed to help any children: certainly if I found a child in distress, I would not be able to ignore it.
*Excluding pathological ones of courseHard Brexit now!
