Bet you would feel different if he had come to the rescue of your mother or sister.
I understand the sentiment. Mom doesn't drive, she is always with dad. Sis, well she would probably give him some groceries from the basket, invite him to church, and pray with him on the spot. No fear, for better or worse.

My decision is based solely on the fact that the risk of getting involved is to high. 4kids, ages 6-13, more important than a stranger, regardless if she is someone's mother or sister. No apologies.
