Toddler run over and ignored by passers-by

Quote:

A video of a toddler being ignored after she was run over by two vans has prompted soul-searching in China over why people failed to help her.

There is a video which has this warning (which you don't have to play), I saw it and have tears in my eyes.

:: Warning: This video contains graphic images of the girl's injuries.

To say I'm angry is a major understatement.

I hope the people who ingnored this little girl are punished.

I won't watch the video Hom3r but i can imagine the terror the child went through and it fills me with anger and despair that humans can be so uncaring to anybody let alone a small child :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Yes, seen it.

No, not surprised. I read that one person, who brought someone they found ill in the street to a hospital, was made to pay some of the hospital expenses.

So, in a society like that, not surprised. We breed hard hearts (governments), then surprised that it is that way.

it is a sad world, don't think it will get any better

I saw this the other night, wasn't sure if it would be viable to post the full vid on this site.

Really shocking, and really sad. I can't really put the words I want to say into text. :(

What has society come to?
This is awful. :(

Its sad to think people can ignore and leave another human being, especially a child like this.

Another reflection on China`s attitudes, even most of the Chinese people are shocked at how low their country has sunk regarding attitudes towards other peoples pain and suffering!
I read that a couple of people have helped in the same situation and ended up with massive compensation costs and allgations against them!:mad:

I don't think that is fair. It has, apparently, sparked a great uproar and self-questioning in China. Although they certainly have a questionable attitude towards women and their role in society they are not inhuman.

It's hard to know why no one stopped, I imagine it was a herd mentality as everyone else saw no one else helping and were overtaken by a selfish desire to avoid litigation as you mentioned.

Very distressing to watch.

I actually think that these people are your typical deep rooted ones. the ones who haven't got a clue. they're the kind of ones who you see over here that haven't got a clue when it comes to driving. and haven't got a clue what they've done wrong.

Could not watch it all . That is the sickest indictment of humanity I have ever seen.

I didn`t say that they were inhuman did i?
You do know that in China, they leave newborn baby girls just in the gutter to die don`t you?:mad:
I did`nt actually watch the link as i have a 7 year old Grand daughter and i`d find any kind of link like that distressing.

I don't think you can blame china, or its culture.

I've seen some shocking things in UK, not sure anyone can cast a stone against a country

Re: Toddler run over and ignored by passers-by

i haven't even bothered opening the link, sounds way too distressing. theres been a bit on child trafficking/auctions/selling on tv lately so as inhumane as this sounds, it does not surprise me that this has now happened... bloody wake up call!!
