What Would You Do: Abusive Boyfriend

In a recent episode of Primetime: What Would You Do?, the producers hired a teen boy and girl and had them pose as a couple arguing in a park to see how many people intervened. Several did, but many walked by. It may be a surprise that women intervened more than men and were not going to allow the teen boy to treat the girl like he was.

So what would you do? Would you intervene? If it was a female abusing a male, would you intervene in the same way or not? What could be the consequences of intervening, for yourself and the victim?
