2YR Chinese girl ruthlessly run over twice and pedestrians do nothing

[Andii]

Heard about this on facebook so thought i would check it out. . .The 2 year old walks out and get knocked over by the 1st van then driven over again by another it also shows quite a number of people walking and driving past just ignoring the little girl . . . It really is sad and i admit i actually had tears in my eyes while watching it. . .

OH HELL NO, I CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT I HAVE JUST SEEN

[Andii]

ino how could anyone ignore the wee child tbh. . if that happened over here everyone would be out to help . . .

[Slowpoke]

I'm not being funny but is it not Chinese people who are known worldwide for their community feel and hospitality? This is just unreal... Whilst watching that I sat with my legs scrunched up and my hands over my face. Can't quite get over this. And what the hell, a second van runs over her aswell?! What is wrong with people nowadays?! Fair enough when the first van hits her, it stops - it could have been an accident. But why doesn't that idiot get out to check on her? Instead, he drives over her again... This video is shocking for so many different reasons

[Neversoft]

Watched this yesterday but had to turn it off after the first van run her over. I couldn't watch anymore. Was going to post it but considering videos with the F word are removed on this forum, it hardly seemed appropriate. Truly sickening.

ino. . . . Im not been Racist or Stereotyping the whole Country, but China are a disgrace in so many ways. They have No laws against Animal Cruelty & Their 'One child policy' is disgusting. I just think it’s important to differentiate what are Cultural differences and what are Cruel and Moronic practices.

Seriously? I wouldn't of thought it was that big a deal. Obviously it's sickening, but not really somethng I'd consider news for the mass audiences of the UK. It must be a slow news day.

I haven't watched the video, I hate these sorts of videos.

[Narnat,]

I feel sick! this is completely unreal?! Some people are really sick!

[Misawa]

Shocking video. She was brain dead and died.

[Ekelektra]

Oh no that is so sad :( Makes me feel sick to think that no one helped her.

[Eric]

I just watched this yesterday. I'm speechless.

Even though i'm a Chinese, i really hate people from China. This is just horrible.

[e5]

That is just horrific ! omg, as if they would actually leave her !!!

[DPS]

Thats nasty dont get how the kid can still move ;/

[Chris]

Thats horrible, I couldn't even watch the whole thing.

Bless you Chris, this seems to have scarred you for life

i have no desire to watch a video of a child being killed, i think it shouldn't even be on the internet though it highlights a vile case of neglect. is it not china where girls are left on the street in favour for sons? i understand what the video is trying to highlight by being around but i don't think i will ever watch it.

[buttons]

I'm not being funny but is it not Chinese people who are known worldwide for their community feel and hospitality?
you'd think so but no in a lot of places in asia, if something bad is happening they will turn a blind eye, they've been socialised to. i watched a video of a guy harrassing a woman in a bus in south korea, punching her etc and people either watched with no expression or looked away as though nothing was happening. without stereotyping, violence/sexual harassment is quite common over there too, even within the entertainment industry girls are forced to sleep with men in order to get anywhere. suicide in celebrities is high there especially in woman and again everyone turns a blind eye to it. anyway getting a little offtopic, of course i don't condemn what happened, there would be no way i could live with myself leaving anyone on the street and while i don't think most people in UK would either, i reckon it'd be more common than you think. i see people left on the street at night time after clubbing totally drunk who should probably go to hospital but there's not much you can do, no-one wants the responsibility and they're left there. not comparing her death to a drunk persons self-inflicted circumstances but you'd probably see similar happen in places other than china

[Mark]

Did the baby die? I suppose it's the mother's fault, she shouldn't have let the good out of her sight, especially at such a young age!

[GirlNextDoor15]

Quoting Andy, I strongly disagree with whatever he said. China is not a disgrace in SO many ways. China has a lot of advantages and disadvantages of its place. Just because one case as such happened, you don't have to generalise everything. I think it happens at many other countries too.

There are a lot of countries who prefer sons than girls. So, it's not just China alone. What about other countries like Vietnam, Indonesia, Iran and etc. Like I said, it happens all the time at other places too. The difference is whether you know it or not. They are affected by their culture.

And tbh, I don't find this shocking. There are more cases worse than this, I believe. What about genital mutilation that still happens even though it's already 2011? When you come to think about it, it all makes sense. That's why they say this world is cruel and wild.

However, it's sad to see a child suffer from such thing.

[The Don]

I'm not going to watch the video, I hate stuff like this.

Can't believe people would not stop to help, truly disgusting.

I find it funny how you're allowed to post a video of a little girl getting run over but not of a music video with multiple swearing in it...

[brandon]

Wow..that was really difficult to watch. How frustrating. Horrible.

[kuzkasate]

Strange this, I saw that the completely same thing happened in Russia to a two year old girl aswell, but she got run over twice and then a lorry drove over her legs. Poor girl is in a coma, but people did drag her off the road. Makes me think to think that people would just walk/drive past and not do anything, absolutely disgusting.

[MKR&*42]

Omg..that made me feel sick ;S I couldn't watch the whole thing.

What kind of messed up people leave a child on the side of a road to die? I don't care if it's a 1-child policy in China and if boys are favoured over girls, doesn't mean you should let a 2 year old die..

I praise that woman who actually tried to help the child in the end ... not just drag it to the side of a road :/

[Pazza]

that's the most sickening thing ive ever seen had to turn it off after about 30 seconds, can't believe people are actually like that :/

[scottish]

@Misawa and whoever else said she's dead, source?

She's brain dead, not dead

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/blogpost/post/yue-yue-chinese-toddler-struck-in-hit-and-run-reported-brain-dead/2011/10/19/gIQA3VLpxL_blog.html


Chinese toddler who was ignored by 18 passersby and left in the street after she was run over twice is now brain dead, doctors said Wednesday.


Two-year-old Yue Yue in intensive care. (Image via Weibo.) The state-run paper China Daily, however, is still confidently reporting that Yue Yue is fine. Her “blood pressure and heart beat shows signs of stability,” their most recent story reads.

Is it possible that China’s censors are already at work? Yue Yue’s story certainly does not look good for the government.

Instead, the seven excruciatingly long minutes in which 18 people decide not to help a bleeding two-year-old girl lying in the road make China look like anything but the “harmonious society” President Hu Jintao has envisioned.



Instead, Yue Yue is now “in a deep coma and clinically brain dead,” according to doctors quoted by the news agency Xinhua. Yue Yue’s parents are facing the decision about whether to turn off the life support machine that is keeping her alive


A prevalent fear in the country is that those who help the injured will be blamed for the injuries. Much of this has to do with a 2006 case in which a man who helped an elderly woman to the hospital was dragged to court by her family and made to pay a large share of her medical bills.

[Sharon]

The thing is, whilst it's sick to everyone within this side of the world is in floods of tears, it's not seen as "shocking news" in China. Sorry to say but yeah they do favourite the male gender over females, this isn't me talking f y i just because I'm asian :$ never even beeeen to China.

[dbgtz]

Did the baby die? I suppose it's the mother's fault, she shouldn't have let the good out of her sight, especially at such a young age!

I think it's a bit unfair to entirely blame it on the mother...

Was that not the childs mother at the end?

Anyway it is a horrid event which shouldn't of happened, not much else to it.

[Dopiefreak]

Ugh sickening. I really cant comprehend something like this.

The sad thing is we are all born blank canvases, someone/something makes these people think this is acceptable :(

I hope that if the girl did die, that she is in a much better place.

If only we could rid the world of rubbish and start a fresh, imagine a world full of people like this :)

Don't think so, the person who picked her up etc was a cleaner or garbage collector afaik

Fairly sure the shop keeper told her to mind her own business aswell..

[Camy]

I don't even know what to say. The fact the girl got run over, even though the van didn't look as if it was going fast, then noone did anything afterwards. it just makes me kind of mad.

[MKR&*42]

I'm not sure.. if it was, then that's just horrible how no passers by stopped to help her o.o

[Mathew]

Indeed, sons are favoured in China and females are seen as second-rate. I read a couple of articles regarding "The Dying Rooms of China" last year in Sociology and it's simply horrific: somewhat similar to an institution in Romania. There's just so many children who are left.... to die..

They're strapped to chairs with a potty below and a surface in front. Others are tied to beds and develop a rocking motion. Some have their fingers and toes eaten by rats. Screams pierce the hallways. Rows and rows of cots fill the dozens of rooms. China's one-child policy is just immoral from my perspective; yes it's an attempt at controlling the population but nobody deserves to go through the sheer pain of their child's death brought upon them by the authorities.

This video has just left me speechless and I can't really describe the pain of watching it. I remember studies I looked at in Psychology where a mock fight would take place on a bus between two people. Nobody on the bus had the guts to get involved and split it up. Society has developed in this way. We don't want to be held accountable for anything. We don't want to get involved. I don't want to think about what I'd do in this situation because I sincerely hope I never come across it.

My Dad was saying how there has been an incident similar to this in China, in the past. Apparently, people stopped to help but one of them was held responsible for the death and was blamed for it. I assume that this is somewhat related and those citizens don't want to be associated with it out of fear of being blamed.

Terrible. Simply terrible.. :(.

[Jurv]

That has got to be one of the worst video's I've ever watched in my entire life, it's completely horrendous.

It makes me sick how the driver continued to drive over her for the second time like nothing happened, who in the right frame of mind would be able to run over a young child and carry on without even thinking of checking up on her? people like that are ****** up.

Quite an interesting read. Unfortunately we live in a world where a blame culture is ripe. Interesting and disappointing that China have it, and fear kinship incase they get the blame for helping out their fellow humans. You get it in the UK, for example you can't ask someone how they are after an accident incase they say they're in great pain because it's the assumption you meant to do it or are not in any pain yourself therefore you are to blame.

Very unfair for blaming her mother. Maybe she's an inexperienced mother. Who even knows what happened.

If she's an inexperienced mother, surely she'd be more protective over her baby? Don't get me wrong, I do think it is partly the driver's fault but you can't blame it all on him.

That is just particularly how a male thinks. Definitely not how an inexperienced mother thinks.
Of course not. The passerby are to be blamed.

No need to get sexist... Enlighten me, how does an inexperienced mother think? I've just had a baby so I'll let it slide to the back of my mind. It wasn't the passers by fault that the baby was run over, yes they should have helped but ultimately it's the mother's fault for not paying attention and protecting her baby. This is a one-off story, it's not everyday inexperienced mothers lose their baby.

To be honest, everyone in that clip deserved the blame;

1) The mother - for not keeping the child in her sight.
2) The driver - for not even helping the child, and driving over her again :S
3) The person who dragged the child to the side of the road... as if she was some obstacle
4) Every passerby who didn't stop and do something.

If that was the mother at the end who did help the child, then the mother isn't completely useless and obviously not sexist.

It's unfair to pin the blame the one person ;/

It was confirmed this morning that she died in the early hours (friday)



BEIJING — A 2-year-old girl who was run over by two vehicles and left lying in the street ignored by bystanders died early Friday morning in a Guangdong hospital, Chinese media reported. She had been in a coma since the incident one week ago.

The plight of the little girl, identified as Xiao Yueyue, ignited an intense round of public soul-searching here on why so many people — 18, according to surveillance video of the scene — could pass by an injured, bleeding toddler in the road without offering to help. Some of the passersby had to steer their motorcycles around her body.

(AP) - A nurse took care of a 2-year-old Yueyue in a hospital in Guangzhou, China, before she died. The incident, in which she was struck twice by vehicles and then ignored by passersby, is sparking outrage in China and prompting soul-searching over why people didn’t help the child.

The girl was finally pulled to the side of the road by a old woman who was scavenging through garbage.

In Internet chat rooms and newspaper opinion pages, many Chinese — from academics to ordinary citizens — began questions whether in the quest to get rich, China had lost its moral compass.

Some blamed a past series of incidents in which people who stopped to help elderly strangers who had fallen found themselves accused of wrongdoing and ordered to pay compensation. Others pointed to a pattern of corruption and sense of impunity by top Communist Party and government officials that has made the general population more uncaring and self-centered.

The case of the 2-year-old girl prompted local government authorities in Guangdong province to consider whether a law is needed to protect “Good Samaritans” who offer assistance to those in need. The China Daily newspaper reported the Guangdong Communist Party’s legislative affairs committee this week posted a notice on its “weibo” microblogging site asking for public advice on shaping a new law.

“Please stop the coldness,” the posting said. “Guangdong province is going to hold a discussion to criticize the behavior of leaving people in mortal danger out of indifference, and to advocate the spirit of lending a hand to those in need of help.” One newspaper said the province was considering establishing a reward, the equivalent of $78,000, for people who risk their lives to save others.

On Friday, the government-controlled media began a counter-offensive against the bad publicity from the story of Yueyue, with major papers running stories about kind-hearted bystanders who have helped save people from traffic accidents. One case involved a 20-month-old boy named Xiaojie who was hit by a car but quickly pulled to safety by “kind-hearted” bystanders — coincidentally, perhaps, in Foshan, the same city where Yueyue was hit and left to die. Xiaojie suffered only a broken leg, media reported.

“Rescues show caring nature of passers-by,” was the headline on the story in Friday’s China Daily newspaper. The Global Times headline on the same story was: “Foshan has another near miss with child.”

Wow.. like seriously, a person who was looking through garbage was the only person to help her? :S :S :S

Such a shame that the toddler died ;( R.I.P

Knowing the Chinese government, this is immediately going to blocked on their internet system...

[DPS]

Yes it was posted on the BBC website dismorning, that she was in a coma but has died.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-15398332

[Jordy]

The more you look into it, the reasons behind the moral-less people in this part of China stack up. There's many high profile cases in China of the good Samaritans/Helpers being forced to pay all the medical bills and sometimes even accused of the crime. It seems the only reason the woman helped the baby was because she was incredibly poor and had nothing to lose.

Then of course the drivers would be struck with fines of six figure sums which would ruin them and their families financially. It's also likely they'd end up in harsh prisons for many years.

The place it happened is an industrial city where everyone is just out for themselves to make a load of money quickly in the export market. Their morals are completely built-up on earning money, not helping others. Quite sickening really but you can definitely see why people walked past and didn't help, blame their crazy government.

[Andii]

the main thing that hits me is the fact this wasn't even part of chinas biggest news :O :O :O

[GommeInc]

the main thing that hits me is the fact this wasn't even part of chinas biggest news :O :O :O
It wouldn't be, they have no reason to care. The logic is that the child should not of been wandering around so deserves to be run over - or at least to blame entirely for it.

It's a shame really, the entirety of China is not the same as the China we've learnt of from this. In many cases they're family orientated and have a good grasp of their morals, but this area is a vile area based purely on money. Think of it as China going capitalist, that money is of great importance.

[MKR&*42]

the main thing that hits me is the fact this wasn't even part of chinas biggest news :O :O :O

Even thought it wasn't biggest news - it's still gone around xL

I'm also shocked that they showed that video on the news :S , That's a bit extreme, showing people a child that's being ran over.

[Andii]

agreed. . . i thought the video was awful to watch even tho it was online and not to hard to find. . but it really should not have been put and shown on the tv =/ . . . . i was really surprised at that tbh

That's odd for the news :/ Usually when they show awful videos like this they stop the video just before it gets gory. So I imagine for this little girl, just before she is hit (I haven't seen the video but assume she gets hit by a van coming from behind the camera).

nope the video shows the van coming slowly towards the girl then hitting her then stops and drives over again. . then shows few people walking past until another lorry drives over her legs :'( .. . .
