The chinese toddler who was run over (crime, places, cultures)

[dougie86]

This fatal incident reminds me of one where the killer-driver had some sort of mental illness.

It makes you wonder why they are given a driving license.

The people of China need to topple the entire People's Republic. That goddamn country needs to collapse now.

Anyone with a heart would have helped that girl.

Coz they were afraid of being sued/fined. As per previous judgements on other Good Samaritans.

They are accusing the woman who helped the girl as being a fame seeker.

This is indeed a horrible story, but I would be very careful with statements like this.
We know enough stories about neglected kids in Western society, and in the US alone...

Keep wondering ...

GMAC Insurance National Drivers Test results revealed that 1 in 5 drivers on the road today cannot meet the basic requirements to get a driver's license, meaning that 36.9 million American drivers - roughly 18 percent - would not pass the written drivers test if taken today.

Unfortunately this is the state the world is in! It's the same everywhere.
A lot of people are absolutely horrid nowadays, completely heartless and selfish. All they care about is themselves, money and posessions.

There have been similar cases in the UK of people being run over and left in the road while people drive around them. Admittedly not children, but still horrendous.

Apparently in Russia homeless people have died of the cold on park benches and just been left lying there until the spring when they thaw out and start decaying (and then start 'bothering' others).

I sometimes think there's no hope whatsoever for the world!
