The question that needs to be asked in this case is was the child at immediate risk? The answer to that question is likely no.

I understand and agree that as a whole society has become overly protective and often fear is the number one catalyst.
But how is not rational for a human being to show concern for a child?
How would the guy feel if he thought nah, it'll be ok, went about his business and then watched on the 11 o'clock news that a child was found dead, left in a car at the walmart.
As mentioned this wasn't running into the kwik-E mart, where you can for the most part keep eyes on the car and be in & out in a reasonably short time.
I would do the same 10 out of 10 times.
