Yeah,  a lot if states have new laws to prohibit the practice.


However I still don't think that relieves any of us of the responsibility to
come to the aid of those around in situations like this.


I mean I remember not long ago when I a child was raped in New York on the
side of a road and people just went about their business.


It sickens me.
