I couldn't get it to play. What is it?
The link isnt working for me...
Let me know if it's working...thanks
Nope still not working
Sorry guys you can google is under :
msnbc video protecting your kids
its the first site
The clip must have been removed. I get Windows Player up, but then after a few reattempt to connect tries, it says that the clip is not available.
The other link you just posted is no good, either.
Doesn't work...the link works, but it says that the clip is no longer available...

thats sucks o well :-( its sad that something this important only has one half working link....





OK well can know what its about lol
Seraya.
Yes why dont you fill us in on what was in the video?
it worked for me....i just clicked the second link- comes up with a blank page.but my windows media player also popped up it played straight away.
i was stoked the group of guys that DID help,were all "dark" guys....not europeans.
I wish it worked for me... the page comes up blank but i waited like 5min and still nothing worked![]()
Whats the title for the article? I have been looking through NBC news site trying to find it..
if you copy the last link and then hit file on windows media player...then hit open url and paste the link it works
Blade's right. Use the second link that was posted. Open up Windows Media Player, go to file, and paste this link:
Then it'll work fine.
Those two guys that actually did something were great! The way they went after him like they were going to kill the guy was awesome. I don't understand how people could just walk by while that's happening. I wouldn't be able to.
OK sure I'm not great at explaining stuff so here it goes
They have a hidden camera set up on a little girl being pulled away by a man as she screams "let me go you are not my daddy" several people at different times of the day look at what's happening and keep going. The last scene three guys two walking down the block and one from a parked car try to stop what they think is a child abduction.
I have had a nicely dressed women run from an alley screaming "help me" at my car with her shoes in her hand in downtown LA, in broad daylight and was advised by everyone in my car not to stop and help her. I couldn't just keep going after our eyes connected because I could see the fear in her eyes. My friends all thought I was stupid maybe in some cases I would have been but not in this one. She had been assaulted by some men, had her purse stolen and was only downtown shopping for a store. She only needed me to call the police for her. I didn't save her life or anything but I can't imagine how I would feel if I had seen her face on the news later if I had decided to just keep going. If it was night time I wont lie I would have kept driving.
Wow that is crazy... I cant believe people would just walk by and ignore the possible abduction of a child..
(I did get the video to work btw.. thanks blade and rhia)
We don't run into this thing around here, much...but I have interferred when I've seen someone unnecessarily roughing up their kids. My dad got out of our car when some guy pulled a bat on his girlfriend in the parking lot, one time. My dad beat the crap out of the guy and then waited with the woman until the police got there...and then we drove her to a relative's house.
People who help other people were raised to do so. It's sad to see so many people with the attitude, "If it's not my kid, or doesn't affect me, I won't get involved."
Very, very sad.
^^ And then when it happens to their child they will be pissed no one ever jumped in to help their kid. It times like this that I really hate people..
Your dad is amazing for doing what he did VG... I would be so proud of him.
I don't think that was staged particularly well to be honest.
But yeah people often just keep walking when things are obviously wrong. I've picked up more than one old person in my time (several) who have fallen over or been mugged or in and accident and no-one else has done anything. Not to mention lost children in shops - that's a real worry that no-one does anything and also girls being harrassed or beaten by their boyfriends and chasing away bullies when kids are being bullied. It really shits me that other people don't step in!
We had a case here recently where a woman had colapsed at a bus stop and no-one did anything to help her for 7 hours.
First rule...Blade's ALWAYS right, but thats a whole 'nother thread lol.Originally Posted by Rhiannon
I used to think I could just walk by...until I was in a similar situation. I got arrested for it, but I got involved.Originally Posted by Rhiannon
Since then there have been several other times where I reacted the same way...no thought just action
I think it depends on the person in some strange way
I can't think of a finer test of character!! That more than anything else, determines whether we help or not.
When confronted with that situation, your personal traits surface first. A key one being fear of physical danger. Fear of getting involved in something that might not be what it appears to be, is another key one.
So, rather than put yourself in the centre of it, you defer to someone else (the bystander syndrome).
Today, we can walk for an hour (or more) without seeing anyone that we know, or have ever seen before. We become disconnected from everyone else. So when we encounter something that requires personal involvment, we tend to continue that disconnected state that we're in at the moment.


Walk by while a crime is in progress/just over = accessory to the crime.
Besides that, remember the golden rule "do unto others as you'd have done unto you" - would you want someone walking by to ignore your need for help?
If you can't (relatively safely) get involved, then at least make ALOT of noise and call police IMMEDIATELY and STAY AROUND TO BE WITNESS AND HELP THE INJURED


I think the performance was pretty ambiguous, like a child running off and not wanting to go with her step father so she says "your not my dad" as though he has no authority to give her orders, because the child is alone on a crowded street you assume he is her guardian, it seems like an unlikely situation for an abduction. Maybe they should also be educating the public about the stratergies criminals use to take children and teach kids what to say and do if they find themselves in the situation, it might help make it more obvious to bystanders.
As for the original question, if I thought something was up I'd do something, even if he was her dad but she was distrought or if he was hurting her I'd do something.




I had an experience like that. A guy was beating a kid for running away from him in the store. I called the cops and got store security. No one else did a thing but stare or try not to.
