Bystander shares her experience
Marcia McNaughton was raised not to be a bystander, so when she saw a group of kids going after a boy at a Langley shopping mall Wednesday, she was among those who tried to intervene.
She followed the sound of noise. The group had caught up with the youth but scattered when she and others approached. She said a youth looked like he was assaulted. The assailants took off as more people and security started to assemble. Police arrived. McNaughton encountered an RCMP member who asked whether she could identify any of the kids. She said yes and they started going through the mall. When they came across them, the young people bolted.
“To be honest like this situation, I think was total group mentality and follow-the-leader kind of thing,” she commented. “I did find unfortunately the kids were extremely disrespectful, and I find that a lot more often than I have before.”
