why do you think no one interferes or helps though?
There are numerous psychological processes at work when this happens. Sadly, the primary reason is in larger groups, most people are too afraid of what the group will think of them if they make the wrong decision. Everyone in the group is waiting for a leader to emerge to take action so that they may follow. When a group lacks a leader, the entire group will stand around while something terrible happens.
This shows you the importance of free spirits and leaders in society. Let me ask you this? Is it worse that 10 people stood around to let a child be abducted, or a nation standing by as their government commits horrific crimes against man?
The situation is the same.
I understand when it's a group of people, I took social psychology in college, but I am talking when its just 1 or 2 people walking by.
i think voting has fallen victim to the bystander effect. "someone else will do it".
there are many people today who are just lazy, heartless, unmotivated, self involved wastes. i think it's hilarious they show the faces of the people who didn't help. maybe there will be enough humanity left in them to feel shame.
Also, the act between the girl and man looks like nothing more than a little girl being a brat. A lot of people probably assumed that and kept walking.
Don't be too hard on them. It takes a lot of balls to do what those guys toward the end did. Most people would have made the wrong decision. I would say cowardice defines humanity no matter how much you don't want to believe it. Fear is the foundation and the driving force of a society. That is why there are so few heroes in the world.

Yeah, screaming "you're not my Dad!" just makes her seem like a step-child being bad, kids need to be taught to scream "I don't know this man, HELP! He is kidnapping me...." If she had yelled that then the ambiguity of the situation would have been different and more would have helped, I think the reporters fixed the response in their favor by making the scenario confusing.....Also, the act between the girl and man looks like nothing more than a little girl being a brat.

A year before I was born.The most famous example of the "Bystander Effect" is the murder of Kitty Genovese
I carry a .40 cal. I would have wasted the guy and then found out it was staged.
