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]

I wouldn't say the Good Samaritan was 'rejected'.

Put yourself in this girl's shoes.  You're a minor.  Maybe you feel a bit weird, but you're not sure if you are actually in danger or not.  How do you know??  You don't want to make a big scene if it's just some silly guy trying to flirt.  It's a tough situation, and even a Good Samaritan doesn't want to over-step boundaries if her help isn't wanted.

The girl probably didn't 'commit to feeling unsafe' because you don't know beforehand that someone is going to sexually assault you.

That is why it is so tough to be a woman.  There is no playbook on how to prevent sexual assault.  We need to crack down on predators.  This guy already had a rap sheet and was known to target kids.  [/quote]
