I just ask this - how would any of us feel if we found out that our daughter, or son, or some other loved one, had been attacked and no-one had gone to their aid.

I know how I would.
Dotti I am small of stature, but I have waded into disputes(as a Sister during my working life) and things have sort of fizzled out.

When I have looked back on these events,they were scary...but it didn't stop me.
I think I would still do the same now...there is only one thing which holds me back...My husband!
He is scared that something deadly will happen to me if I step in....and most of the time when I am out and about we are together...it is only the odd time I am out and about on my own...but yes, on reflection, I would step in.
