Parents MUST see this...
« on: April 21, 2006, 05:38:42 am »
I just got sent this on my aussie list, it's not dog related, but child related.  I swear, I got so choked up and upset over this.  Being a mom to a 9yr old and a 6yr old, it appalled me to see how willing people are to turn away...

that is very scary.  I was very surprised to see that no one acted until the very end.  The little girl was doing exactly what my parent's always said to do, "you're not my mom/dad" and still no one was acting.

If that had been a real abduction, it would have been too late.  Cheers for the people who did approach the "abductor".

Although not nearly as serious, I saw a similar story Dateline I think did on how people would react to different situations.  Children bullying another, a man roughhousing his girlfriend (both black and white couple used), then later a married couple.  Also how people would react to racial comments in a conversation. It was surprising as to how little people actually acted.  It does not give me much hope for society today.

Amazing study. Showed it to both my parents. They were astonished but proud also of the men who did something. I hope all of us would be like them if we witnessed a situation like this happening to anyone.
