Bystanders Pass By Toddler after Hit and Run
ReplyDeletePeople in China are outraged after a VIDEO of a hit-and-run was released to the media. The footage shows a two-year-old girl being hit by two vehicles last Friday evening. The first VEHICLE stopped briefly, but fled the scene. The surveillance video also shows several people walking or cycling by, but doing nothing to help the toddler. The child had wandered away from her family near HARDWARE a market. After several minutes, a garbage collector pulled the child to SAFETY and called out for help. The child’s mother arrived on the scene and rushed the toddler to the hospital. Doctors said the child was in critical condition, but clinging to LIFE .
Why are people in China outraged by the footage?
'CAUSE IN THE FOOTAGE U CAN SEE HOW THE BYSTANDERS PASS NEAR THE LITTLE GIRL AND THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHINHG TO HELP HER.
How did the child end up in the road?
THE LITTLE GIRL WANDERED AWAY FROM HER FAMILY, AND SHE ARRIVED TO THE ROAD ALONE.
Who finally helped the child get out of harm’s way?
WHEN A GARBAGE COLLECTOR SAW THE LITTLE GIRL, DECIDED TO TAKE HER AWAY FROM THE ROAD AND KEEP HER OUT OF DANGER.
What do you think you would do in a situation like this?
MAY FIRST I'LL BE SCARED FROM THE SITUATION, BUT AFTER I'LL TRY TO SAVE THE CHILD AND CALL FOR SOMEONE TO HELP ME TAKE HER TO THE HOSPITAL
Why do you think so many people (at least 17) passed by without helping?
I THINK THAT MAY THEY THOUGHT THAT THE GIRL WAS A DOLL OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT,AND MAY ALSO THE PEOPLE WAS VERY BUSY TO NOTICE THE GIRL ON THE ROAD.
OTHER POSSIBILITY IS THAT THE GIRLS IN CHINA ARE UNDERRATED, AND THE CHINESE TRY TO THROUGH OFF THE GIRLS FROM HER FAMILY, 'CAUSE THEY WANT TO HAVE A BOY TO HELP THEM AT WORK, 'CAUSE IN CHINA SOMETIMES THE FAMILIES CAN'T HAVE MORE THAN A CHILD.
