I don't just mean police, I mean ALL authority figures. It starts with the parents. It includes teachers, police, and many others. It includes the common passerby that witnesses the act. Maybe they can't intervene, but they can certainly report it. Women in major cities are taught to yell "FIRE!!!" instead of "RAPE!" because people will come look at a fire out of curiosity. But, they may ignore cries for help to avoid getting involved in trouble.
We all help create the world we live in. If you don't want someone to be able to beat up another, and crap on their face, then get the police to arrest him and charge him with assault. There needs to be REAL repercussions for cruel behavior, or it WILL be repeated.
