    I couldn't watch the video for more than a few seconds - as the van hit that little baby, I switched off, knowing it would haunt me if I watched any further.

    Suffice it to say, I hope the cretins driving the vehicles are jailed for a long time and I hope those passers by are tormented by their cruelty and indifference 'till their dying day.

    Rest in peace, little angel.

    Anyone else finding the level of racism in this thread a bit shocking? I doubt somehow this is a reflection on Chinese people as a whole (who have been described as savage, heartless and so on in the course of this thread). This incident, however horrific, is not an excuse to go on a rant about Chinese people. Every society has its monsters. Even ours, we've had equally terrible, but more clandestine atrocities occur and I don't see anyone calling up all Irish as a race on it.

    If I'm honest, I've a feeling this story has an even more awful backstory. I find it really difficult to believe that what happened happened, someone already had their phone on to film it from such an opportune vantage point and failed to call out from the window to stop what was happening. It just seems really really suspicious to me.

    From what I saw, it looked like CCTV, not mobile phone footage.

    Well there have been well known people getting away with killing people while drink driving with just losing their licences.

    who?

    I lay injured on N17 while sixty cars sped by

    Galway Advertiser, October 20, 2011.

    Dear Editor,

    I am a enthusiastic cyclist and have been for 25 years. Cycling to work daily is one I way I get in the miles. Last week on my way home using the N17, my bicycle's front forks snapped and I ended up going over the handlebars and falling heavily on the hard-shoulder. I don't believe I was unconscious but I ended up lying flat out on the roadside pretty much motionless.

    I had hit my head off the ground and there was also quite a bit of blood coming from the knee. I was a little concerned about getting up immediately and deliberately stayed lying on the ground for fear of damage to neck and back. I was hoping and in some ways depending on a good Samaritan to help me out. The N17 is close to being one of the busiest roads I know off at that time of the evening, but after about two minutes, I realized the no-one from the constant flow of traffic was going to help.

    I eventually managed to sit-up, and realized I was even in more danger, as the cars flew by me at N17 speeds no more that three-fourfeet from where I sat. I immediately crawled closer to the ditch, and a number of minutes later I was able to get to my feet and walk around. In total I reckon I was close to four minutes lying, sitting and crawling on the hard shoulder.

    The most disappointing thing is not so much the injuries that will heal in time, but not one passerby offered any help. It was obvious I had an accident as the bike was in two parts, one part lying over the yellow line. Cars may have had to manoeuvre to actually get around it.

    However minutes later when I got too my feet and was phoning for help, a young girl (with a Cavan reg) did a U-turn on the busy road and helped to bandage me up before I was taken to hospital.

    My question is to your readers and what I reckon was over 60 passing cars and especially the N17 travellers, 'why would you leave someone, who obviously had an accident, lie close to unconscious on the side of the road on a wet cold evening.'

    I saw the video of the toddler being run over 2 days ago & honestly it's probably the most offended I've ever been at anything & I'm not easily offended. I couldn't believe people could just go about their daily business while a child lay dying in the street. I wouldn't walk by an animal who had just been run over let alone a human being especially a child!

    A certain failed Munster rugby player who got away with killing a young man while pissed at the wheel springs to mind.

    Still sickens me.

    Back on topic, scary to think the amount of things that go on like this that don't happen to get caught on cctv??

    Well, while he didn't kill her, GV Wright (FF TD) ran down a nurse breaking ler leg in four places and leaving her with a permanent limp. He then proceeded to flee the scene leaving her for dead. He was fined €900.

    Well the real cruelty here is why the kids was allowed play on the road alone.

    Apparently the parents worked in a shop there and would leave the kid out all day to play on his/her own

    jesus fukcing christ. i love how every thread on boards that's to do with a child having an accident/dying always comes back to this chestnut. i fully expect that all you people wrap your kids up in protective cotton and never let them leave the house.

    'apparently' - it's more than likely a rumour and nothing more.
    also it wasn't a road, it was an alleyway beside her home.

    but its really quite sad

    http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2011/10/21/chinese-girl-run-over-twice-and-left-for-dead-in-street-dies-115875-23504101/

    A two-year-old Chinese girl who was run over twice and left to die by 18 passers-by has died in hospital.

    Wang Yue, died shortly after midnight of brain and organ failure at the The Guangzhou Military District General Hospital.

    Intensive care unit director Su Lei said: "Her injuries were too severe and the treatment had no effect,"

    The sickening pictures of the girl have shocked a nation.

    More than a million people have viewed the horrifying video of the Chinese tot being knocked down by a white van online.

    The driver pauses but then he carries on, crushing her with the back wheels.

    Eighteen people ignored little Yueyue lying in a pool of blood. Cyclists and rickshaws weaved to avoid her and she was run over by a second vehicle.

    Eventually, street cleaner Chen Xianmei picked up Yueyue from the street in Foshan in China’s Guangdong Province.

    I cried like a baby when I first saw this, its heart breaking. I cant imagine how this little girls parents feel, especially seeing as this video is flooding the internet and the papers. Just a constant reminder to them how their little girl died so tragically

    Really goes to show what people are capable of doing / neglecting to help.

    Some believe Yueyue was ignored due to a 2006 judgment when a Good Samaritan was ordered to compensate a woman who she helped get to hospital in eastern China.

    pretty obvious why they did nothing in fairness though... when ****ed up **** like the above happens why would you expose yourself to such?

    I have to admit it's not pretty obvious to me . I can't see or understand why people did nothing I am not looking for an argument or I big debate to me it's pretty obvious they should have helped

    I didn't watch the vid the first 2 times but I just did there..

    Absolutely shocking and sickening.. I'm actually crying, and I have a pretty strong stomach.. but that will stay with me for some time..

    My advice, if you haven't watched it.. don't.

    What sort of a nation breeds people who would just swan nonchalantly past a child in such excruciating pain and distress :mad: fcuk this world.

    Yeah, fully agree. Do people think kids don't leave their parents site for 1 minute till they're 10?

    This reminds of a story I read a while back. A homeless man stopped a woman being mugged and gets stabbed for his trouble. He is left bleeding to death for hours and no one stops to help him. One guy even stops to take a photo and walks on.

    Disgusting. Some people don't deserve to live

    That poor man was left to die alone, after helping someone from being mugged :(
    its sickening

    They say its because of recent compensation culture in China, that no-one stopped. I don't know. I suspect its something in the Chinese culture /mentality. These people have suffered like no others, in recent history. Millions died - and life is cheap. I travelled in China after teaching English in Hong Kong in the mid 90's. Hong Kong chinese people advised me not to stray off the beaten track as mainland Chinese people would kill you for five dollars! They're a brutalised people, behaving accordingly i.m.o.
