On Tuesday October 18, 2011 in Beijing China, a child was run over by two cars and ignored. The 2 year old was left on the street to die. "According to surveillance video of the scene", 18 people passed by the injured child without helping her. Cars and motorcycles even drove around the child without caring to stop. The girl was eventually pulled to the side by an old woman! Of all the people that could have helped the child, an old woman went in the street and pulled her off the road. I'm sure there were plenty of other younger and stronger people who could have helped her, but yet the old woman was the only one who attempted to pull her off the road. The little girl was interned in the hospital and in coma for a week. Unfortunately, the little girl dies of her injuries.
Apparently many people defended the situation from previous incidents that occurred where people had tried to help the elderly and had been accused of wrongdoing. This has brought about a lot of discussion about the morals of China. Honestly, in my opinion I wouldn't care about being accused of wrongdoing. If someone is in need of help, I'm going to help them to the best of my abilities. Especially if its a 2 year old child. I mean I know a lot of people are scared of being sued and accused of wrongdoing, but wouldn't you risk all that to save a child's life, especially one who is pain? There is no excuse for these people, they should have helped the innocent child.
