This was a couple weeks ago, or it may have been last month, but anyways I give credit to Reb because she told me about this.
A 14 year old girl, from Germany was riding her bike along a street when a 19 year old boy grabbed her bike and raped her in front of a drug store. About 4 people walked by and did nothing, and 2 men watched from a balcony. The boy was drunk so they might let him off easy. This was so awful. When I get the link from Reb I will post it so you can see what they are planning to do about the boy.

I think that is really twisted. I am sure that something will happen to the boy, though. But I am sure there is also more to it than just that. However, I sincerely doubt that four people walked by while he had sex with her and two people watched from the balcony. He obviously was caught, so someone did something. The two people at the balcony may very well have been children, so they could not have done anything. And the four people who walked by may have walked by while he was messing with her, before he actually physically assaulted her.

Hmm... but then you do know how it is in big cities and busy places these days....
You just tend to not get involved where you arent really wanted. It tends to be dangerous besides to get involved.
I'm not condoning these actions and besides i would get involved, but a lot of the time, people run away from situations such as these.

True, may have been it didn't say specifically in the article. But it did mention that her father came or something. Sorry about the confusion I will post up the article.

Interesting topic....
I wonder what most of us would have done?
I could understand if people don't want to stop, I wouldn't, I'm a girl and not an especially strong one. I would have called the police immediately though.

Thanks for the article. That is pretty sick ... but I can see why some people may not have cared when they walked by. At that time of night ... they were probably drunk. I know it was still shining ... but they still coulda been drunk and thought they were just two lovers and not a victim and a rapist. I mean, it's a small German town ... so anything could happen.

I haven't heard about that until now. That's really sad. I was almost raped, though not in public, it was still an awful experience. My prayers shall go out to the girl and the boy.
