Two year old girl run over ignored by 18 passerby.

 
WARNING: Graphic video; To watch this video on Youtube, you have to be 18 years or older.

     As I watched a Peter Chao weekly news round-up Youtube video with my friend, I heard about a two year old girl in China being run over by two cars and a total of 18 people passing by her ignored her. So, I decided to look into it. Apparently, the two year old girl named Wang Yue thought the white car that eventually runs over her, was a bread truck. The driver stops for a little while, but continues on driving. A few people walk by, ignoring her. Then, a second car runs over her. People continue to walk and drive by her, as if everything is fine. Finally, one kind-hearted woman who was collecting cans stopped and took a look at the child before the mother came over. Apparently, people were too scared to help the child because they do not want to be blamed for the child's condition.
     I say that you have nothing to worry about if you are not guilty. With today's technology, there is not much to worry about if you are not guilty because there are hidden cameras practically everywhere. If one of the people who saw her before the second car hit had helped her, there would've been more of a chance that the child lived. Some may argue that the child's parents should've been watching her. I agree with that argument to a certain extent. Truth is, we all let our guard down sometimes, and unfortunately sometimes at the wrong time. The mother definitely didn't want this to happen; she happened to let her guard down at the wrong time. Overall, I think someone who passed by should've helped the little girl; in this case, the mother's mistake shouldn't have been someone else's mistake either because they had a chance of saving someone's life.

If you want to learn more about this situation, here is an article (Warning: Graphic images included):
After surviving for more than a week since the hit, Wang Yue now dead.
