Would you stop to help an obviously dying child if there was a good chance you (and your family) would be economically crippled for life?

...Yes. Even knowing the risks, I could literally not just walk past a small child who had just been ran over by a truck.

I've heard that people are accusing the Good Samaritan of having only stopped to help the child for the fame.

NSFW or those of a delicate disposition.

A toddler is struck by two trucks in separate hit and run accidents.  Nineteen people passing by ignore her.  I can hardly believe any human could be this fucking heartless.

Thank you, nice to see a fellow human.

That... I-I honestly can't express in words how disgusted I am. I think I might need to go throw up; that was one of the most horrific things I have ever seen. Fuck it, if I saw something like that happen, there is no way I wouldn't try to help. So I end up getting sued because there aren't Good Samaritan laws? Well, a human life is more important than my economic welfare.

Dammit, I try to be a reasonable, peaceful person, but if either of those drivers were in front of me right now, there is nothing that would keep me from trying to kill them.

No, but I'd prpbably phone emergency services if it looked like nobody else had.

Sadly, it's true. And a LOT of Chinese are shocked and outraged.

Also sadly...I can't say as I'm surprised. Living in a major Chinese city is an exercise in detachment. It has to be. There's just so much poverty and misery co-existing with modernity and opulence. And if you stop to give money to every beggar you see, that's all you'd do all day. If you stop to be horrified at the victims of industrial accidents, the ones missing arms and legs and faces...you'd never set foot outside again.

But this is a shocking low. Chinese tend to place a lot of value on children. The value of life may be low, especially in a place like Foshan where the population density is nearly 5000 people per square mile, but even so... :(  :'(

Wasn't there a big thing about Chinese parents killing their female children, or was that just overplayed by the media?

^Wasn't it more like abort female fetuses because of the one-child policy?

Even then, having it that the government had to enforce a law to act as contraception kinda proves the Chinese "value" of children.

Overplayed. It does still happen in rural areas sometimes, but the government has relaxed the one-child policy in many cases in rural areas, so there's no longer as much incentive to commit infanticide. It should also be noted that China is hardly unique in the problem of female infanticide.

Look at the reaction of parents to the Sichuan school collapses, the melamine-milk scandals, the tainted antibiotics scandal, the poisoned cough syrup scandal....generally whenever a scandal has really caught fire in Chinese public opinion it's been the ones where children are harmed as a result. I think it's human nature. You can rationalize away abuses to adults by telling yourself that they somehow brought it on themselves or that they're guilty of something else. It's really, really difficult for even the most cynical, jaded human being to rationalize away abuses to a young child.

And yet, millions of children get abused and killed every year. And not just in the Third World. So yeah...humans are bastards.
