Stop standing by and start taking action. Don't ask the victim to come to you for help, start offering help. Be proactive. Be a man about this.

Agree, but perhaps without the "be a man" part. The offer to to do "anything we can" comes across as an offer to do what is asked, so a passive stance. "We're here to help" is not the same as "we're helping by doing this."
