bystander effect?

i've heard stories like this before, even talk about it in my classes sometimes. but it is still horrifying.

a 15 year old CA girl was gang raped by 4-10 men, for two and half hours, last weekend after leaving her high school homecoming dance. [i say 4-10 because i've read varying reports.] on top of this, as many as 20 people watched, twittering and taking pictures.

i understand that people do not want to get involved, but how hard is it to simply place a call from your cell phone?
