There's a very sad story I remember reading of a little girl who was separated from her parents or any adults who would have taken care of her and whose body was found in a lake, apparently of drowning, and was ruled as accidental.

A trucker had reported that he had seen the young girl before her unfortunate demise, but he had decided to keep on driving because he was afraid that, even if he had stopped to help her and get her back to the right people, he'd be accused of kidnapping or worse crimes even though it would have been him helping her. Because it would have been one of those 'not what it looks like' situations.

The girl would still be alive if there wasn't that stigma.
