We should all be thankful for living in a country like ours.

I was born in Nigeria and I was brought up walking past injured bodies, dead bodies and headless bodies because basically if you touch them you become responsible.
I can remember my Dad running a cyclist over who rode straight in front of him and his foot was hanging off.
My Dad drove him back to his village and then went to the Police station.
They told him he had been a very stupid man and he should have drove on and he was lucky to come out of the village alive.
My Dad is a very kind man so he went back to the village with a policeman and all the bloke wanted was a new bike!!!! (he'd got a foot missing).

I just dont get it, regardless of fault shouldnt you check on the injured party? As at the end of the day you did just run them over.
The chinese one, that truck driver is responsible. Heck he could have easily stopped, even drove around the girl.
Actually it can and does happen here and everywhere in the world. hit and Run incidents are not only limited to China.
This is just about a hit and run and a few people ignoring the victim and not about “serious issues” whatever they may be. People aren’t ignoring them because they’re not talking about them. It could happen anywhere but the implication here is that it's a particularly Chinese trait to ignore an event like this.

I think it would be a more common occurrence in China but it does happen everywhere,

Although as I said earlier I don't think the bystander effect comes into play with regards to the girl being run over in China.

With someone getting stabbed, or injured from a fight you can understand why by standers wont help as ultimately their scared themselves and dont want to get involved.
No way would someone in the UK run a child over intentially (thats what it looks like) at low speed, then another car to come by at low speed, see the child and decide to run over the child again - no way in hell. If they were doing some speed you could make escuses, saying he couldnt tell what it was etc but not at that speed. Not even got started on th bystandders.

Those videos aren't just about people getting stabbed, in one of them a girl shouts that she is getting kidnapped by a man that is not her father, people just walk past, another a man calls out in distress playing ill, I also posted a video about an old man getting run over earlier in the thread and people just leave him in the road.

Again with someone getting kidnapped, theres a large element of danger. If i was in that position i dont know what i would do, end of the day the kidnapper could just shoot me for all i know.
Ive not seen the video of the old man you mention, but a lot of these other incidents are escusable, you can understand why by stannders didnt rush to help.
The china one though is absolutley inescusable, no two ways about it.
I stand by what i have said and no way that would happen in the UK.
I think people don't call it in because they know when the police arrive they are probably just going to arrest you as the perp.
"Looks like we solved another one lads let's get coffee and noodles!".
Two weeks later you're in one of their mobile execution vans.

No, she died.
Poor little thing, it's times like this when I wish I still believed in religion, whereby I could console myself into thinking she'd get a pass straight into heaven, and the passers by getting a ticket to the warm place.
Sounds cheesy I know, but stuff like this upsets me even more so now that I have a little girl of my own.
