The Bystander Affect

[Psychotray]

That is horrible. How can anyone just stand there and watch someone do that to a child?

I can honestly say I have not ever in my life just stood by and let bad things happen to other people. It's gotten me a few admissions to hospitals, but it stopped whatever was happening all but once. My upbringing was a little more harsh than a lot of other people, so I'm not really afraid of anything (except goats), but I can understand how sometimes it's just best to leave it alone.. but REALLY!?!?! You just watched a guy kick and beat a kid so bad he had to be identified by DNA??? Some things in life are worth risking your own, and the life of a child is definitately worth it to me. Especially if there were several people stopped... they all could have over-powered him easily. I don't think I will ever understand that.

The part that really makes me sad is the fact that he is killing something that has a whole life ahead of it, its just slack, babies cant fight back, or put up a good defence to a middle aged man's stomping. Its horrible that people would want to do that. In fact, on the news the other day (here in Australia), There was a man who threw his baby off a large bridge, I dont think the baby survived (for obvious reasons). And it really makes me wonder, why would anyone murder a defenceless baby/child?. This world is one of Brutality and Violence nowadays, its sad.

I agree, why destroy the ONLY thing we can TRULY create ? Out of all the luxuries in life a child is a true pearl. I do understand that people have troubles, but why kill the child ? Give it up for adoption, no matter the age in my opinion. People have so much **** in their heads they can't act on pure instinct.
