AWARD-WINNING "WHAT WOULD YOU DO?" AIRS FRIDAY, JUNE 12 AT 9:00 P.M., ET ON ABC

When People See a Situation that Cries Out for Action, Do They Step Up and Say Something or Step Away?

When you think no one is watching... what would you do? Using hidden cameras, "What Would You Do?" establishes everyday scenarios and then captures people's reactions. Whether people are compelled to act or mind their own business, John Qui�ones reports on their split-second and often surprising decision-making process. "WHAT WOULD YOU DO?" airs FRIDAY, JUNE 12 (9:00-10:00 p.m., ET) on ABC.

Friday, June 12 scenarios include:

· At a nail salon, our actor faces rude behavior from a worker because she has vitiligo, a non-contagious condition that causes the skin to lose pigment. The nail tech refuses to touch the woman for fear that she could "catch" the disease. How will witnesses react? Chantelle Winnie, a model with vitiligo, joins us on set to witness and participate in this scenario.

· A group of three teenage boys are at a restaurant when two of them pull out bottles of an over-the-counter cough syrup, pushing the third boy to chug a large amount to get high (often called "Robotripping.") The third boy is hesitant to try. How will fellow diners react?

· While at a restaurant, a mom and dad announce to their son that they are getting divorced. The parents begin to blame each other, and then blame their child - exactly what experts say not to do. How will witnesses react?

· A guy breaks up with his girlfriend while sitting on a park bench, near some strangers. He departs, leaving the girlfriend with her head in her hands, distraught. As she sits there crying, how will strangers react? Will reactions change when the girl breaks up with her boyfriend?

· When customers arrive to pick up their cakes at a local bakery, they discover that our baker ignored their orders in favor of her own outlandish ideas. How will customers react?

"What Would You Do?" has won awards from the Chicago International Television Festival and the Avon Foundation's 2006 Voice of Change award for exposing "injustice and wrongdoing against women and bring the issue of domestic violence to the mainstream."

Danielle Rossen is executive producer of "What Would You Do?"
