'Freedom' is not a framework for morality? I will judge you as a bad person for not saving the child in the pond while able to do so.

But would you ‘punish’ them for not saving the child?

Yes. "Non-assistance à personne en danger" is a crime in France punishable by up to 5 years in prison. Personally I'm absolutely fine with people being punished for not helping save someones life.

However this must only be if doing so does not pose any risk to the helper. See [0] for a list of countries with similar laws.

I would save the child in the pond because I want to. I don't think it's a moral imperative.
