Look The Other Way, Another Way to Enable Steubenville, and other, via silence.

It's what we are taught. Beyond the wretchedness of the Steubenville OH rape & kidnapping & more, people don't want to get involved.

How many times have you been a witness to something wrong & kept your mother shut?

Have you ever had something horrific happen to you & there were witness(es) who remained quiet?

Or have you seen something wrong in a group setting & everyone steered clear of involvement or speaking out for fear
of retribution?

I think the Steubenvilles of this country have been going on for a very long time, perhaps not to this painfully criminal degree, but smaller crimes, nonetheless.
