The story is disturbingly familiar. A teenage girl goes to some kind of get-together, maybe a party. She is raped by multiple assailants. The rape is photographed and distributed via social media. This girl is not Steubenville's Jane Doe. This girl is Rehtaeh Parsons, a 17-year-old from Nova Scotia, who hanged herself on April 4, a year and a half after being raped. Reading the account of what happened is like watching a deadly accident slowly, methodically unfolding in front of you. And there are bystanders, plenty of bystanders, who had any number of opportunities to step in and do something, but none of them do. And, in many ways, you are one of these bystanders, too. I am, too. We all are. Anne Theriault http://www.huffingtonpost.com/anne-theriault-/
