That video is obviously fake, is easy to see that.

There's pics of the child in her hospital bed.

I didnt watch the video but I was in China and I was truely shocked at some things I've seen like beggars (children) with no hands and I found out later that if they didnt make enough money they'd usually get a hand/foot chopped off.
Also market places were slaughter houses where you could get an animal killed right in front of you.

My point here is that China would be very desensitized to death and Chinese people would have a keep to yourself mentality for the most part though younger chinese growing up in big cities would be different.

But would this incident be happen in Ireland, Europe USA?.....Absolutely!

A guy(off duty medic) was telling me that he had to do CPR on a colapsed woman outside the central bank -

He saw a large crowd gathered around a woman but nobody was doing anything - He asked somebody to ring an ambulance then he started doing CPR - he looked up at the guy he asked to ring an ambulance and the guy was using his phone to record what was happening.

Here's Tom Green in Canada/USA

The problem is that humans have a sheep mentality and we're not prepared to do anything unless somebody else does first.

To say that all Chinese are inhumane is a little harsh - They're just use to seeing this type of thing just like some of us would ignore a junkie lying on the ground.

While that is also frightening behavior this really isn't the same thing..This toddler is knocked down, the driver stops and sees her under his truck, he then slowly drives over her again knowing exactly what is going to happen-purposefully inflicting more damage and pain-leaving her screaming in agony. A number of people cycle and walk past her pulverized body and the bloody tyre marks-none of them do anything not even a double take when confronted with such a horrific and distressing scene. Another driver approaches in a pick up truck, slows down when he sees an 'obstruction' and then proceeds to roll over both of her feet and drive off-he didn't even try to drive around her little body-that must've been too much of an inconvenience for him...when somebody does try to 'help' her she graps her roughly and drops her-slamming her head into the concrete and wiping out a lot of the good a paramedic could've done for her-this is more than a lack of empathy it's something much worse

Not funny at all tbh.

But yet a maddie joke would get post of the day :rolleyes:

Appalling thing to happen to anyone let alone a child.

Why is this still up on you tube?...as worthy of public concern as it is that sort of medium only contains shock value and creates a forum for very productive but equally callous (to those passers by) mainstream media success. If people are looking for one reason as to how people could walk on by like that then look no further then the desensitization this sort of thing promotes and the instant reaction it may provoke in the title of this thread even , 'the worst news I saw *today*'.

How is it 'easy to see that'? How do you go about faking something like this?

well, it's a lot easier for him/her to say it without having to back it up than it would be to actually do it, but given the things hollywood puts on our screens it wouldn't be impossible to fake it, especially with grainy cctv footage.

that said, its pretty obvious to anyone who's seen it in the news that it is genuine and a horrible thing to have happened. unfortunately though, it's far from an isolated incident (at least globally speaking) it just struck a chord because it was caught on video and people worldwide could actually see it happening.

Havnt watched the video and have no desire to do so.There are some things that I dont need ingrained on my retina and things like this would be damn near the top of the list.

China has some of the most shocking treatment of young children,particularly infant females anywhere on the face of the planet.I remember seeing in Bizarre Magazine a number of years ago a picture of a dead baby girl lying in the street.The body was just dumped and remained there for iirc a couple of days.

Heartbreaking,shocking stuff.

I used the same photo from Bizarre for an essay on the power of photography in college. I'll try find the photo and put it in the shocking photos thread because it leaves you lost for words. The worse part was the gentleman who took the photos rang the police about the whole thing, and they arrested him! They didn't realise him until he handed over the camera, but he managed to hold onto the film.

It's not a Chinese thing, it's a human thing

Apparently Marx and Engels wrote about it in The Communist Manifesto.

I saw the clip on YouTube taken by CCTV cameras. Held my own kids alot closer that day.
