There was once an experiment conducted on tv (here in the uk) where they chained a couple of cute looking kids to a fence in a very public place and filmed them for a few hours. The kids where completely ignored by passers by except for one bloke (after about 3 hours) who stopped talked to them then called the police. They then chained a dog to the smae fence and people where stopping and being very concerned after 5 mins, what does that tell you?
