Part 1: Diners rush to aid bruised woman and stand up to abusive boyfriend.
What would you do? Part 2 (8:58)
Part 2: When bruised woman wears low-cut dress, will people intervene?
How many people stepped up and helped a woman in distress? Does the instinct for self-preservation win? Does race make a difference in how total strangers respond? How does her attire impact the assumptions and decisions we make about intervening?
I hope you take the time to watch both videos and consider how you might respond if faced with a similar situation. When we decide how to respond before being faced with a scenario like this, we're more likely to respond effectively.
