Bystander Effect Still America’s Downfall

This is an example of the Bystander Effect in action as a 15 year old girl gets ganged raped outside her high school homecoming dance as many people simply stood by and didn't do anything. Some were afraid of gang retaliation and others simply were victims of the bystander effect. A simple phone call to 911 could have saved her but there were so many people that one thought the other would call so they didn't feel the need to call the police.
