Consensus says it's fake.

so they rather let her die than maybe break her legs?

From what I read, her legs were trapped.
Only way would have been to sever her legs which would have most likely caused her to die from hemorrhage because they were no proper surgical equipment and on top of that, it was almost impossible to properly sever the legs in the mud. She just had two choices : die from hypothermia or die from blood loss. Doctors simply chose the "less bad" solution unfortunately

About this photo, the kid did not die or was not left for dead.

The first time I saw this photo I could not sleep. It seemed terrible what the picture was suggesting: the death of a little starving toddler while a patient vulture lurked in the background. The following morning I searched the Internet for all the information available regarding this Kevin Carter snapshot: there I could read the story of the place where the photo was taken, the 1994 Pulitzer Prize and the tragic destiny of the photographer – the artist committed suicide close to his parents’ place the same year he won the prestigious prize.

I was surprised to read that everybody was speculating about the fate of the child, and judging the ethics of the photographer who came under criticism for failing to help the little toddler, though nobody went back to the place where the photo was shot – Ayod, South of Sudan - to ask about the fortune of the starving child. I decided to start an investigation and after some months of work I managed to contact Kevin Carter’s old friends and relatives – which included Greg Marinovich, a 1991 Pulitzer Prize winner himself; Judith Matlodd, his last lover; and Florence Mourin, a nurse with Doctors without Borders who was working at Ayod Feed Center at the time.

In February 2011, whilst the country was going through its intense independence process, I visited the village of Ayod and I showed around all the pictures taken by Kevin Carter and his friend Joao Silva in that area– (the photos were provided by Corbis Agency). The locals had never seen that picture before and neither could they understand the controversy surrounding it. With the permission of the local Mayor, I spent a whole week meeting the elderly men and women of the village to find out whether someone could identify the subject of Kevin Carter’s photo.

During the fourth session of meetings a woman of the village, Mary Nialuak, who was in charge of helping the victims of the famine at the Feed Centre 18 years ago, recognized the child as a boy from the village. Later, his own father recognized him in the same picture and told his story:

Kong Nyong, the baby boy, was not in danger when Kevin Carter took the picture. He was close to the Feed Centre where the sister of his mother was waiting to receive her food portion. Every morning they used to go there to receive their daily rations. Kevin Carter’s picture shows that Kong Nyong was carrying a bracelet of the Feed Centre. He went on to survive the famine though, sadly, he died four years ago due to “High Fevers”.

Find attached the video I made in Ayod with the family of the little boy and the article published in “EL MUNDO”, a leading Spanish newspaper.

"I'm not responsible for that. I didn't personally do that. That has nothing to do with me, so why should I be concerned about it or apologetic about it?"

or better yet

"My family immigrated here after slavery. We have nothing to do with any of that, so it's not our concern. You weren't there, either, so get over it."
