saw very disturbing video from china...
guy in van hits 2-year-old girl...doesn't bat an eye- just continues about his business and runs over her with the back wheels...
people walk past her bleeding on the street without even looking twice...
another guy in a truck runs over her without even thinking twice...

this really blew my mind...video too disturbing to post here

Re: China- this was sickening

hear that the driver said he ran over her with the back wheels because if she was alive he would have to pay a lot in hospital bills

Re: China- this was sickening

rich, the globe article said in an earlier case, someone helped some woman who had been hurt, and ended paying 40 per cent of her hospital bill. he just came to her help, he wasnt the one who hurt her. so dem say that case is part of the reason other people never get involved this time.

Re: China- this was sickening

Why should we as Jamaicans be surprised at how badly people treat each other in other cultures?

When it comes to man's inhumanity to his fellow man we Jamaicans are champions. Just read the papers.

Toddler hit by cars, then ignored!

After toddler is left to die, China disquieted

October 17, 2011 9:51 PM PrintText By Joshua Norman Topics China .

The video from Foshan City of Guangdong Province in China is unequivocal: A two-year-old is seen lying in a pool of blood on a market street having just been hit by a truck, which sped away after slowly running over her with its back wheels too, after which more than a dozen people walk around the toddler, none offering help.


The child, named Yue Yue, survived the accident, after a 56-year-old rag collector finally came to her rescue and dragged her out of the road, but not before a second truck hit the girl, according to China Daily. She is now, however, in rough shape - "brain dead," doctors say - and is unlikely to survive.



By itself, the video (WARNING: Graphic violence) has sparked worldwide news reports, and within China it has led to a serious discussion about public values.


The state-run news agency, Xinhua, writes: "High moral standards were once triumphed as national pride in China where individuals known for selflessly helping others were adored by the public. But in recent years, the perception of a decline of morals has become a hot topic as profit and materialism are perceived to be affecting society's values. On Sept. 2, an 88-year-old man in central China collapsed, his face striking the pavement. Yet, no one came to his aid, and he ended up choking to death on the blood from his nose."


According to many internet commentators, the relatively new tendency in China to ignore those in desperate need can be blamed on the "Nanjing judge."


Chinese news aggregator Chinasmack.com writes that phrase refers to "the 2006 case of a man named Peng Yu who helped a woman to the hospital after she had fallen only to have the old woman accuse him of knocking her down. The Nanjing judge in that case ultimately ruled that common sense dictated that only the person who hit her would take her to the hospital."


Several reports claim police have apprehended both drivers that ran over the girl and fled the scene. However, public anger seems to be mostly directed at the many who did nothing when helping was the only right moral call.

Re: Toddler hit by cars, then ignored!

Not making an excuse, but much of it is attributed to the litigious tendencies in today's society.

The Chinese government response and explanation to the incident was pretty much the same. They also said, "Chinese citizens have a fear of being blamed, if they get involved".

Some of us can remember that, for a while doctors in the USA were reacting in a similar manner after stopping and helping accident victims on the streets, and then getting sued in return.

Re: Toddler hit by cars, then ignored!

Did you notice how the first &quot;rescuer&quot; dropped her? Then the woman grabbed her up so roughly, that if she were to survive, she definitely would have had permanent injury. That was the sickest video I've ever seen.
