I don't know about "no one," but certainly not many, you're right. I don't mean to diminish our responsibility at all. We are guilty.
However, resources are few, priorities are pressing, and needs run by in an endless parade. It's easy to be cowed by the enormity of it all even if you do care. Even if you care and try to act, that's no guarantee of success in rescuing anyone. Also, talking is not nothing; it encourages and influences others.
Don't you think you're being a little severe? "Lord, if thou art extreme to mark what is done amiss, who may abide it?"
"Vengeance is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord." Who made you the judge?
