As to my final comment that's my point... intervene and they do one of two things; fight back or scatter. Because they were so young, fighting back is unlikely (unless they're a gang), which leaves scattering. Who knows what happens at that point.

And you're wrong. Someone did intervene and called the police to deal with the situation. Honestly, that's what I would have done in order to ensure that justice is served to ALL who took part in this crime. It wouldn't be out of a sense of nihilism...

I have read/heard the accounts of three adults who witnessed the event. Two were females and one was a father with his young daughter out for a walk. None of these people I expect to interfere except call the police. Yes the field is surrounded but that doesn't mean there were people in every house or that people in every house heard or saw what happened.
It's almost like you are apologizing for the inaction of the bystanders. Bizarre.
