Commenter notes important point I missed...the child was a girl. Less valued in China and the most aborted. But I wonder if that was obvious to those passing by.
This article shows the shocking disregard for human life.
A van runs over a 2 yr.old, pauses and then runs over her again as he pulls away. The child lies helpless and bleeding while people walk and bicycle past her. A second vehicle even comes along and hits her again.
Yes, this is China where forced abortions and the cruel one child policy have deadened their conscience toward the sanctity of human life. The article points out that another factor could be the "compensation culture for the apparent show of callousness, recalling a famous 2006 judgment when a Good Samaritan who helped a woman get to hospital was wrongly ordered to pay her compensation."
However, no one even called for emergency assistance for the child.
We have seen this happen in the US with adults but it took 18 people passing by a bleeding child in the street someone rushed over to help her. The good Samaritan, the 19th passerby was a 58 yr. old woman who was a street cleaner.
"... many others said there could be no excuse, and that the scenes in the video should “shake the soul of every conscientious person” in China"In the world....I might add. It shakes mine.

Well, it was only a girl after all. Everyone knows that barbarian cultures the world over do NOT value females. That's one of the marks of barbarian cultures, don't you know.
Good point. I missed that
