Would you have done something?

I have a young daughter and this is scary to me. I think that my biggest fear as a mother is that someone would kidnap my child. Watching this video makes me wonder what I should tell her to say. It seems like although the girl was saying "you're not my dad. I don't know you" people were still thinking that she was just throwing a tantrum. It is really scary...

Not to make light of this, but it reminds me of some comedian. He was like "you should teach your kids to curse out anyone who is trying to abduct them. Tell them to say 'I don't know this MUTHAF*CKA!!' then people would look." I know if I heard a kid cursing like that I'd look. Then again, all those people in the video looked, but didn't act.


Whomever said it, I remember this from sociology in undergrad as well. When people are in groups watching a crime take place it takes that one person to stand up and make a move then everyone will join in to help. But if nobody takes that first initiative the other people will just stand by and look.
