Outcry in China over hit-and-run toddler left in street(M)

The toddler was hit by a van on Thursday in the city of Foshan.
The footage showed the van hitting the little girl, pausing briefly while she was under the vehicle and then driving off, running over her legs.

It then showed about a dozen passers-by, including cyclists, a motorcyclist and a woman and child, noticing the little girl lying injured in the street but walking on.

After she was hit by the second vehicle, a rubbish collector spotted the little girl and moved her to the kerb, then began looking for her mother.

The child, Yue Yue, was taken to hospital for emergency surgery but pronounced brain dead on Sunday, the China Daily reported.

The newspaper said she had wandered off while her mother went to collect some laundry.

The drivers of both vehicles have now been arrested, the newspaper said, but the incident has also triggered outcry among Chinese citizens.

It provoked a storm of comment on microblogging site Weibo.

"Even pigs and dogs are better than they are!" said one angry contributor about the passers-by.

"In China, there's no bottom line for human ethics anymore! China is 'smashing' new records again and again!" commented another. Copy From BBC News & BBC Burmese News......

Others were more reflective. "Now people ignore everything other than money. This society is lacking people with a conscience badly."

@thojjoe1 - I believe that there is a small % of people on this Earth with a heart. They would do something if they could to help the poor, homeless and hungry. Some of us are not rich & cannot save the world. What do you do?? You are right in saying that bad happens everywhere...BUT the diff. I have seen is that at least in Africa, parents are crying for help, they hold & care for their young. In this video, these people have no regard for humanity. They look selfish, rude, cold & empty..

@maekulit051686 your pathetic. You do know that over the last 200 years China has become accustomed to death? why? because during the 1800s, Europe came and killed many Chinese for their land, and during the 1900s, Japan came and killed and raped thousands in China. America was one of the many countries that came to China and carved a piece out of her and called her their own.

@ariesmile5 This is just one instance of a baby being neglected. the fact that you don't realize everyday baby's are neglected all over the world including in America shows your utter ignorance. This a an universal aspect of man. The Chinese have not done no more than what Americans do. Not to mention, a homeless man was left to bleed to death on a street in NY. Do you now think America is horrible? U do know that people in China are extremely mad and angry about this too? Don't be ignorant.
