It may be because of fear of authorities and fear of being killed themselves. But many people “stand by” watching (or hiding their eyes) even when they are not personally in danger. They may not involve themselves because the “us-them” propaganda has been successful, and so they do not identify with the victims or recognize their humanity. (The closer or more related a bystander feels to a victim, the more likely he or she is to act to help.) Maybe the bystanders see victims the way the perpetrators want them to see them — as animals or criminals. At times of crisis, bystanders may believe that getting rid of this group of people will solve the country’s or their own personal problems. In many situations, bystanders have something to gain from the victims’ deaths, such as land, money, jobs or consumer goods.

Her gran, for one, is stubborn and aloof — not unlike Kate herself, who has no friends, and who’s been expelled for “behavioral issues,” like the meltdowns she has had ever since her mom dumped her with her grandmother three years ago. Kate dreams that one day her mother will return for her. When that happens, they’ll need money, so Kate sets out to make some.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGran nixes her idea to sell psychiatric advice like Lucy in \u003cem\u003ePeanuts\u003c\/em\u003e (“You’re not a psychiatrist.

She soon learns that adults have plenty of problems and secrets of their own, including Gran. When she finds that her grandmother has been lying to her about her mother, the two have a huge fight, and Gran says she can’t wait for Kate to finish high school so she’ll be rid of her at last.
