Question $27(1$ point$)$

Matt is walking down the sidewalk. He sees a young child about to walk into a crosswalk directly in front of traffic. Matt does not know the child and has no relationship with him. Matt decides not to try to stop the child, and the child walks into traffic and is severely injured. The child's parents sue Matt for negligence, alleging that he was negligent for failing to intervene and stop the child from being hurt. What is the result of the their lawsuit?

Their lawsuit will be successful, because an ordinary, reasonable person would have stopped the child from walking into traffic.

Their lawsuit will fail because Matt did not owe the child a duty.

Their lawsuit might be successful $-$ it depends upon whether Matt could have stopped the child without endangering his own life.

Their lawsuit might be successful $-$ it depends upon whether or not Matt knew if the child noticed the oncoming traffic or not.
