The fact that nobody intervened when they saw a young couple and a baby being threatened like that has really made me mad. It makes you realise that probably NOBODY would come to your aid if you were in trouble - seems even basic human compassion no longer exists, or probably more to the point, people are too terrified to help.
I would suggest your son complains to the police. He might be right about them, but he will never know until he tries. I have heard very bad things about the London Metropolitan Police though so understand why he might feel that way.
