Title: Child gets run over and dies in hospital - people ignore her.

Child gets run over and dies in hospital - people ignore her.



A two-year-old toddler was run over by two vans and mortally wounded,
after which 18 people passed her indifferently in south China's
Guangdong Province.

Thanks to the 19th passer-by, a woman
garbage collector who came to her aid about seven minutes after the
first hit, the girl didn't die immediately in last Thursday's incident.
But doctors said the girl died yesterday from severe brain injuries she
had suffered in the accident.

 Police have detained both drivers.

ATTENTION, NOT FOR SENSITIVE VIEWERS!

I remember seeing a video of a man knocked down by a car, try to get up, and then knocked down by a second car.  Several cars in succession hit him after that.  If I remember right, it was in the US.

In many countries in Asia (not usually Thailand) people do not stop if they see an accident, in case they get blamed.

Shocking and very very sad.  The story is getting air time in Australia this morning.
