I am sure people everywhere shared my feelings of anger and disgust as they watched the video of Madelyne Toogood beating her daughter in that Indiana parking lot. But what angers me most is that there was a witness–a witness who could have stopped what was happening to that little girl, a witness who watched and did nothing. Have we become so self-preserving that we no longer feel its necessary to intervene when a child is in such obvious danger? In my opinion, that witness is an accomplice to this wretched crime.
