Chinese toddler run over and ignored by passers by

[alstromeria]

You could actually see the blood on the road …………….. how can people just walk past that?

 

I know, I know. The woman with the child actually went into a nearby shop and asked the owner if he knew the little girl. He said no.... so she just went home!

 

And as for the driver of the first truck!!! I quote:

 

'I knew I hit her. I stopped to see if I could help. I could see she was bleeding already so I decided, as no-one had seen me, to step on the gas'.

 

He also said, if she died he will have to pay a fine, but if she survived, he will be stuck with the medical bills... so I guess he was trying to finish her off.

 

Now. I don't like the C word but.....

I watched the video. There are only 2 stories that have ever reduced me to tears: Jamie Bulger and this.

 

I watched the video and I wasn't even remotely moved by it. I sort of feel bad. It's what the internet has done to me I think. Nothing shocks me anymore.

 

The only time I have ever watched a video and felt anything was when I watched the video of those ukranian(?) maniacs who tortured some bloke. That one made me sick to my stomach.

If you want something to put you off your tea do a google search for Taliban beheadings.

I saw this yesterday, but thought better of posting it here.

It's simply horrific and i wouldn't watch the video unless your made of very stern stuff.

 

I have seen the video it is horrific. It made me cry.

its one of those things, part of me wants to watch it, just out of intrigue, but i know that if i do, i will feel really sad and depressed, and disgusted with the people on the clip, and once you have watched it, you can never turn it back, it will be embedded on your mind for ever,

:mad:

I am still lost for words over this story, i just cant take it in, it goes against human nature..

My thoughts exactly but I have seen it so cannot un see it. I despair at the lack of basic compassion shown to this toddler.

Without any knowledge of how the girl got out, you managed to conclude that they're bone idle?

And somehow conclude that they didn't have adequate child care.

 

if you saw a 2 year old kid wandering around in the middle of a busy road like that in Sheffield you'd be wondering how the hell they'd got out and where were the people that were supposed to be looking after them.

 

the drivers of both of those trucks, and especially the first, should have been able to see the child, yes they are responsible.

 

but think : what if the truck had been parked up, and the child had been standing still, right in front of the cab, in such a position as there would be no possible way that the driver could have seen a child that small standing still directly in front, from up in the cab of a vehicle that big, whether he'd used the mirrors or not. Who would have been to blame then? Certainly not the driver. He couldn't have possibly have seen a kid that small standing still directly in front of a vehicle that big. Even if he'd done all his checks, mirrors, etc and had a good look, there's no way he could have been blamed, if he'd just pulled away and accidentially killed the child.

 

so who would have been to blame then?

 

the parents or the childminder, or whoever was responsible for the tot, that's who. The kid shouldn't have been there in the first place.

[MC Spyda]

The parents or whoever, really are to blame for the initial neglect. Not for the incident itself, but certainly for neglect. It's a disgrace that the child was out there by herself in the first place.

[callippo]

the authorities are going to throw the book at those drivers after all this publicity. They'll get many years in prison. All the attention has gone onto them, and how the passers-by ignored the stricken kid the way they did.

 

but those parents, if they were in charge of the child at that time, are responsible also, and should be prosecuted too. Obviously, they've suffered immeasurably by losing their child, and maybe whatever sentence they get should reflect that.

 

in the UK neglectful parents that leave their kid in the bath for 10 minutes while they talk to somebody on the phone and the kid drowns get prosecuted. They might not get jailed, because it's obvious to the judge that whatever punishment he or she metes out, it can't be any worse than what the parent is going through themselves, but they do get prosecuted. They have to be. Otherwise, people will think that it's ok to leave a little kid in the bath on their own for 10 minutes.

 

it's like that in this case. If those parents were responsible for the kid just before she went out into the road on her own, they should be prosecuted for child neglect too. They should also give back the tens of thousands of dollars that well-wishers donated for the kid's medical care that haven't already been spent to some Chinese children's charity, and not a memorial for the kid. If they want a memorial for the kid, they should pay for it themselves.

I hope the people who drove over her and the selfish passers by suffer a long slow death!! Dirty scum like that do NOT deserve to breathe the same air as that baby did in her last breath!!
