You don't need any.
So, it is really a matter of convenience then.
More of a matter of appropriation.

But I do pursue that work. I volunteer a lot. And I plan to do a lot more once I have the money.
How much money do you need to volunteer with an aid organisation?
You don't need any. But a good, steady paycheck to help with funding would make it all the better.

And why can't it be both? I would if I could. And i can't. I'm not going to do what he did because that obviously didn't work out too well for him or anyone else.
If you claim that you'd help the child, but won't pursue such work in our world - it's a matter of convenience, not morality. It's something to be done wherever it doesn't conflict with other pursuits and interests.
But I do pursue that work. I volunteer a lot. And I plan to do a lot more once I have the money. You can't just do these things, you need funds. I mean yeah sure you can but it would make things even better if I had proper resources. And I'm working up to that. I need to help myself firs before ibcan help everyone else to the fullest capability. So than yeah sure it is convenience. But only because I would be a lot more helpful if I had better resources.

I don't resources or the opportunity or anything necessary to stop it.
That's obviously not true. Alan Henning, the taxi-driver beheaded by ISIS, went with a volunteer aid group. You don't need resources to make an effort.
You have two choices. You either admit to yourself that it's a matter of convenience, not principle. Or you sign up and do something.
And why can't it be both? I would if I could. And i can't. I'm not going to do what he did because that obviously didn't work out too well for him or anyone else. And don't think I haven't helped anyone before.

And that's not okay.
If you claim you'd save the child, you should be doing something about it then.
If I had every chance to do so, I would.

But there are far worse.
That's no excuse. I'm not talking exclusively about child labour. The fact that there is a spectrum, or gradation, of suffering doesn't excuse inaction.
Like I say, if people are saying they'd save the child and forsake the city on principle then they should be out there, doing something about the suffering in the world. If a taxi driver can go to Syria and, unfortunately, fall hands to ISIS in his efforts then he is living proof that I) an effort can be made and II) more effort should be made.
You don't ignore the cancer because you have a stab wound.
And I do want to help. I would stop child labor if I could. I would save that taxi driver if I could. But as of right now, I don't resources or the opportunity or anything necessary to stop it. And in the scenario in the OP, I would have the opportunity to help and I would.

And in that way they don't deserve to have a utopia if they let the child suffer like that.
You mean in the same way people in the West profit off child labour and sweatshops?
And that's not okay.

If you think society should be taken down because suffering exists, that makes you an antinatalist.
I don't think should be taken down because the suffering exists. But because the people of this society knowingly let the child suffer for them to have good lives.
And in that way they don't deserve to have a utopia if they let the child suffer like that.
So it'd be okay if no one knew about it?
No it wouldn't. Not at all.

Fairly certain I had a dream about this once...
Anyway, I'd probably want to help the kid, but realize that in doing so I'd set the entire city against me and most likely end up dead. I'd rather not be skun alive. This leaves the option of either accepting the child's life as a fact and the reason for my happiness and moving on, or being repulsed by it to the point where I can no longer stand to live in the city. The later option is really no better, because nothing changes for the child. He's still living the same way he was before I'd have left.
May as well just utilize the fruits of his suffering. It would be rude not to.
Like Psy said though. It's never going to be a utopia, if one person suffers.
One person suffering while everybody else leads perfect lives? It's simple mathematics.
And what right do they have to let this child suffer for them to have good lives? That child deserves freedom and a chance to live just like anyone else. We'll suffer the consequences for what's right. Fuck the city.

Why is there a werewolf on the moon?
How is there a werewolf on the moon, and how is it surviving without an atmosphere?
I think the first question we should ask is, how is there a werewolf in the first place?

Just for home from school. About to eat lunch and watch halo nightfall.
What's halo nightfall?
A new show detailing what Agent Locke did before Halo 5. It's good so far.
