Someone started to help but gave up when it got too inconvenient. [/quote]

The Good Samaritan tried and was rejected. She did not give up because it got too inconvenient. The girl didn’t even commit to feeling unsafe. I don’t know what you expect should have been done.

Not blaming the victim. I try don’t think we prepare kids for situations like this. [/quote]

Honestly, there is no good way to prepare your kids for 'situations like this'.  I used to regularly ride the public bus when I was 17, but in another state.  I definitely had uncomfortable situations.

We don't know the race of the victim.  I live in Aspen Hill and it's possible the 17yo girl was either White or Latina.  Impossible not to take race into consideration here.  Can you imagine the bad optics if she had said she felt uncomfortable with a Black man sitting next to her?

This is an incredibly tough situation to be in as a young, White woman (and I'm not White, FWIW).  Is she going to be labelled a racist if she says she's uncomfortable?  And, how do you know that something bad is going to happen?  [/quote]
