Toddler left for dead in china, up to 30 passerbys ignored child suffering death

It happens here too.

Not half an hour ago I slipped while our running. I was writhing around on the ground in agony and people just walked by me without saying anything, trying to pretend they couldnt see me. :mad:

There is a difference between you and a dead toddler. For one you I presume are an adult...this was a helpless child.

I know about the diferences in my story and that Chinese story. I was drawing attention to the similarities.

So sad. You know, if I walked up to a dying toddler on the road I would not be thinking ''Oh man, what if they take all my money?'' I would be thinking HELP THE CHILD. I wouldn't care if they took everything I had, I could never ever walk away from a situation like that.

Poor little girl.

There are no similarities.

I wonder how much of the attitude stems from her being a little girl. In Chinese society female infanticide and female abortion are rife, because of the premium placed on male babies. Orphanages are full of baby girls.

Maybe if it was a little boy people would have cared more. Just makes it more horrible to think about really.

No, boys and girls are the same, I'm from China:mad:

yerra tis different craic over this side of the world. if you kill someone on the road in thailand you can just pay the equivilent of maybe 2/300 euro and the death is over with. they drive like lunatics too. this video doesnt shock me too much living in asia the last while to be honest

It would not happen in Thailand .I have seen many accidents here where many people immediately come to help.They even have a volunteer rescue service with pickups .

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.

There's a difference in culture there, to be fair, but of course that's no excuse to go assigning heartlessness and cruelty to all Chinese people.

Wouldn't watch that vid if I was paid to... :-/

who cares, this is the abortion capital of the world.

I don't know why this one individual is receiving so much attention when it's happening every second of every day.

fucking cunt deserves to be fired into an american prison full of rapists murderes and pedofiles to be raped senselessly for the rest of his days.
each and every one of those people is a cum stain on this world. fuckin horrible wastes of oxygen.

RIP.

This has to be a crime.

How can anyone put passerbys in the name of a thread and get away with it.

A week ban at least.:)

OH and yeh the poor kid...................
.........but did you see the passerbys in the thread name.:)

You don't.

this is the abortion capital of the world.

What's the relevance of that?

Because it was highlighted.

Ooh you're such a going-against-the-grain individual!

Tastefully put. There were several people guilty not just one though.

That was kinda my point. I know plenty of people who have seen a dead body on the street from an accident, usually drivin scooters

Completely different tbh.

With that view every death that takes place is an abortion. I don't see the pro-life movement setting up labs to find or create the fountain of youth all the same....

I think they mean the Chinese gov policy especially in the rural areas of very late, even full term abortions. Infanticide pretty much. Pro choice or life, few would regard that as morally OK.
