Bullying and the Power of the Bystander

[unable to retrieve full-text content]Often as bystanders, seeing something happening, whether as an adult or a child, it is easier and safer to stand back and watch or walk past and do nothing, rather than step in and help. As adults, if our children see that we just ignore what is going on and don't step out and help a person who is in trouble, this is the model we pass onto our children - to do nothing. There is a lot of help a bystander can give, whether it is stepping in and directly helping or whether it is getting help - as adults we need to model this to our children, rather than shying away and ignoring what is going on.
