Janet and John are at home, enjoying an evening in with some visiting friends, Betty and Boris. They hear a disturbance outside, including raised voices, violent language and the crash of rubbish bins (trash cans).
Boris and John go outside to find a young woman fearfully curled up against a wall, and a loud man pacing, threateningly, around her.

What would you do?
a) Invite the girl in for a coffee

c) Go back into the house and try to talk a little louder, so as to drown out the noise outside
d) Hang around and intervene in the event of physical violence

I think I'd go with g.
Splitting them up might be dangerous. Maybe, inivite either or both of them for a coffee later might be an idea. Good Idea to get Janet and Betty outside to talk with the girl.
i would go with (d), tho im not sure its the best idea. if i were john i would be reluctant to bring janet outside while the guy is still around.
i have no understanding of crack cocaine lifetsyles. i can understand the man feeling angry, but beating her up wont help anything (especially not the baby he is trying to 'protect'!)
