Young girl ignored by bystanders as she pleaded for help after mum collapsed

A young girl was ignored by bystanders when she thought her mum was dead after she collapsed in the street. The nine-year-old was rejected by five people when she asked for help, reports Manchester Evening News.

The incident occurred when Lexi Longden was walking home after shopping with her mum Leanne last week in Greater Manchester. The mother then suddenly suffered a seizure close to a Tesco petrol station and collapsed to the floor on January 7.

As the parent lay half on and half off the kerb, her daughter ran over to the forecourt to get help. However, her dad, Billy, says she was either ignored or people said they were 'too busy'.
