You hope not.

This is a great reminder to just help out even if it seems 'awkward' - better to be helping and in an awkward situation than miss the moment and regret the help you could have been in years to come! Missed helping a woman at the shops the other week too because I was worried about making her uncomfortable and I wish I could go back and do it again and give her a hand!! I can't imagine not helping a woman getting beaten up though - that's insane!!

Well, I have my regrets too over being a bystander. I hope in the future at-least, I don't wimp out of situations that warrant my action.Nina Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18179359568857111757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617609328294072924.post-30080750730157001272013-02-18T09:44:56.690+10:002013-02-18T09:44:56.690+10:00Bethy - you rebel you!Bethy - you rebel you!Tammy Lornahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04419410261955929701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617609328294072924.post-63756725862208040402013-02-18T08:19:01.412+10:002013-02-18T08:19:01.412+10:00Wow.

I've heard of simar stories where people are having serious health issues in public and nobody stops. When you hear about these things you wonder how that could possibly happen but I guess it an be easy to fall into that trap. <br />I think you're right and that being aware of the 'bystander effect' can hopefully help us recognize it and rebel against it! :)Beth and Robbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07680179211937501427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617609328294072924.post-50893403532439175372013-02-18T07:29:28.622+10:002013-02-18T07:29:28.622+10:00An important thought mum!
