Animals eating other animals; We are animals ourselves, and someday I'll be worm chow. Although, witnessing that would make me take up drinking real quick - Cold hard facts be damned.

If that was my son i would want someone to help him, the poor child's parents probably died. I would risk it to help the child i can afford the medication for diseases even AIDS that child couldn't. @Ken yes. yes i would have. seeing as i am a mother the only thing i would be able to see is my son.

What about the other thousands of children who crawl to these places for food? The picture serves to slap people in the face to make them realize our over production and wasteful habits. How Get off your first world high horses and start doing something for the millions of people that are dying from AIDS, Malaria, Hepatitis, Cholera, Measels, Yellow Fever, starvation and other preventable diseases. Obviously, prayer and judging others actions won't help the other children that are crawling for food. Did he really exploit this child or did he just disturb your Victorian sensitivities? Think how many fast food franchises we have on every corner of our cities and how this child had to crawl on its stomach from the boondox to get its meals due to the lack of money. How about your fat, middle-American asses stand up and donate the 10 dollars you spend super-sizing your Big Mac meal? If you're so offended then why don't you get up and do something.

A picture like this should give us all pause before we buy our next flat screen tv, our ipad, or even go shopping in a grocery story, which is a shrine to excessive consumption. As long as 20% of the world in developed nations consume 96% of the resources, this picture or a similar one could be taken just about anywhere in the world. If it jolts your sensitivities, good! Now do something about it. Much of the world lives on the brink of starvation so that developed countries can enjoy their luxuries.

When you see human life more important than, gain or self satisfaction then you understand the true meaning of life. You cant say on the one hand if had helped the child then his picture would have never been seen and "light" wouldn't have been brought to the situation (sn and what good did bringing light to the situation do the situation in Sudan was no secret). Quite simply we find the life of animals more important than human life. Its a shame that many think its ok for him to turn a blind eye to a dying child but its easy to say when its not YOUR child. No matter how ill your own child is you will go to the ends of the earth to spare their life why didn't this baby deserve the same compassion. I dont care what disease I could have possibly contracted helping her I would have went to meet God knowing I helped her. Giving her candy from his pocket didn't save her life, shooing a persistent vulture away didn't spare her life. Helping her could have. But i guess im just a bleeding heart that believes in human life no matter how dismal its future may be. IM not happy he killed himself, thats almost as sad as the picture but i do feel he probably gave in to his own heavy heart and grief What it boils down to is self perseverance, physically and liberally, financially.

We are all humans and are here by the grace of God and it's our duty to take care one another regardless of illness. How could anyone say they would just sit there and watch a child suffer... God bless the childs heart and soul and I pray that he/she is ok and if not may he rest in peace in the loving arms of our Lord Savior! I would have helped the child regardless of the consciences!

Kevin Carter didn't help him not because he didn't care but because he was not allowed. if he helped at all thee were very strict and harsh consequences and the world would have never seen the picture and would never have known the situation. really we should be thanking this guy because he shed some light on this horrific situation.next time-learn the facts before criticizing someone. for all of you bad mouthing here was the real story. the photographer was not allowed to help the child. he was not allowed to help anyone in the country of Sudan while he was there. the country did have the food to feed the people but only if they were willing to pledge all allegiance to Sudan (a corrupt government at the time) and not help anyone else get food.
