OK... HOW? Once you have given child some food.... though it would probably not be able to take the solid food you have. Then what? You have postponed the inevitable by 12 hours.... Are you going to look after that child (and parents and siblings ) for the next few days/weeks and get them out of the situation?
What about he other couple of dozen children in the same village? This is not an isolated incident . are you going to help all of them? How? Real help that gets them out of the mess or just something to save your conscience? "I did what I could" which means the child dies tomorrow when you aren't watching? Back home in your comfortable home you can tell others you saved a child..... (for 12 hours)

1 The first thing the photographers did was apply first aid (Romuald Rat was first aid trained) but within 30 seconds of the Paparazzi getting there 2 doctors and a paramedic arrived (they were travelling the opposite direction) The Papparazzi then got out of the way and behaved professionally. According to the Doctors the photographers were not in the way or distracting. Due to the nature of the accident there was only room for the doctors and the paramedic.
2 None of them earned much for the photos. Firstly the police confiscated them all except for one set that a dispatch rider collected from one photographer. The Photographs were used as evidence by both sides in the case and are the only evidence of the car before the fire brigade took the roof off.
Only 80 photographs were taken by about 8 photographers.... 10 pictures each over about 5-10 minutes is not a lot.

The laws on photographing children vary greatly from area to area and event to event. However the bigger problem is the usually ill informed and paranoid parents, officials and police.
