What would you have done if the toddler was HIT and RUN?

i can not view the video, i dont know why. but i have to remind you that their religion is different than ours. some people with different religion may not understand what a good samaritan is. for me since she is still a toddler... where are the parents? a toddler still needs assistance and should not be letting alone specially outside. what ever happened parents should be the one to be blamed of this. if parents does not care at all what else do you expect from other people. i experience something like this. i was driving with my niece and it was raining. although the rain was not that heavy, i still drive slowly. i dont like to be in an accident for i am sure wifey will freak out. unfortunately there is a 4 year old kid on the road and was aiming for us. i slowed down and did not hit her, but soon as i was near her she lay down at the street. it was like a drama... after that the mother came running and cursing me. so i took them to the nearest hospital to what went wrong. i called my brother to support me. of course xray came out clean... but in the end of the process the child was telling her mother.... gusto ko ng Jollibee. ( i want jollibee) and mom said... oo bibigyan ka ni kuya (yes he will give you the money for that) and the mom was reffering to me. after all of this i need to sign at the log book of the hospital's security guard and he said... racket lng yan sir. lagi yan andito gnyan lagi ang drama. ( that mom and daughter is always here, that is there modus operandi). so i guess it is a case to case basis. har har har my response has gone insane already. thank you for bearing with me. but i hope you did get the point. i too help but i make sure that helping will not let me get in trouble.

OMG! The clip is one of the most disturbing I have ever seen...To say how sad that no one should stop and attend to a dying child is an understatement. It is the most horrific thing I have ever seen and one I will think about for a long time to come. This video depicts the epitome of heartless behavior! Being poor is no excuse for carelessness of this kind.

I don't think if that were to happen here in our country that people would just go on their business as if nothing happened. As you know, if that happened here that first van would not have been able to speed off. Or passersby would take note of the plate number. The girl would not have been run over by a second vehicle and people would be rushing to get the girl to the hospital. It's amazing that in this particular country where this happened people have so little regard with life.

dear LK, When I saw the video last week, it did broke my heart. You are right dear brother, no matter how poor our country is,most of citizen are good and have a good heart to help strangers when in need. Especially with kids... I don't know what kind of evil is inside the van that hit the kid.

I saw that video clip too, and I was so horrified. It was as horrifying to me as watching Gadhafi being killed and displayed in a meat market for all to see. I cannot understand why people were shying away from her when they saw her on the streets. You're right, that would never happen in our country because we are a nation of kibitzers. Their excuse is that there have been some high profile case where a good samaritan ended up paying damages. Honestly, is that what comes to your mind when confronted with such a situation? What kind of people would look at a dying child and say "oh no, I might get fined". And the drivers who hit the toddler twice did not even bother to check. There was a Chinese man in the streets interviewed by a news crew who basically said that its cheaper to kill them than to save victims. And he said it like it was a matter of fact. That made me very happy to be a Filipino.

This is just horrible that human beings could be so thoughtless to let a child lay wounded in the street. It was very hard to watch. It's almost like watching a dog get hit by a car and nobody cares. This is a sad state of the mind to not care about a child.

LetranKnight25, Other than the facts that the toddler was ran over twice and ignored by 18 passersby, I wonder where the mother was all those while or at least how her daughter could be left wondering on her own. I was just livid when I read that the good Samaritan who happens to be the cleaner who could not even find the toddler's mother for as long as half an hour after her rescue effort. In my full sense of understanding about parenting and responsibility, I believe the number one rule is never leave our toddlers unattended, out of sight and most of all, out of our hands. I really have to criticize the mother here. Sorry!

I also saw this video on news and I can say that those people really are heartless. How can the drivers did that to an innocent child that cannot even protect herself. I just hope that the child recovers from such pain. I just hope that those people wont suffer the same case as the child. I hope it wont happen to their children. As a Filipino, I am proud to say that we never ignore people who's in trouble and in need of help no like those heartless people.
