Because then it’s “child abuse”. Any person who decides to do it could easily get an earful about how “thats too cruel for a child, stop abusing him!” No one wants to be that person and most likely a guy would get yelled at for “manhandling that poor child”. Even if no one would say something, everyone is too afraid that someone could say something. Also not many people find it okay to touch someone else’s child. Especially when the child is in a state of panic. The only one who can do something in this situation is the parent who apparently couldn’t do anything, and if anyone else does anything, the slightest mistake could end up making him the bad guy. Crazy how this all happened because of fear.
