Peter Foster of the Daily Telegraph wonders whether "three decades of headlong economic development has left nothing but a moral vacuum in its wake".

XINHUANET.COM: "High moral standards were once triumphed as national pride in China where individuals known for selflessly helping others were adored by the public. But in recent years, the perception of a decline of morals has become a hot topic as profit and materialism are perceived to be affecting society's values.

I've watched this, and read people's reactions on twitter and other social media sites, and all the holier than thou people are coming out the woodwork with their "moral outrage" .

 

That said, I'm not the most compassionate person, but even i would stop and help the child.

Apathy toward injured child sparks public outcry in China

GUANGZHOU, Oct. 17 (Xinhua) -- Chinese media and Internet users on Monday decried a lack of morals in society after a toddler was struck twice -- by two different vans -- and left bleeding on the road as more than a dozen bystanders did nothing to help the seriously injured girl.

 

The incident, captured by a surveillance camera and aired by Southern Television Guangdong (TVS), showed the two-year-old girl was knocked down and run over by a white van on a narrow market street on the afternoon of Oct. 13, in Foshan City of Guangdong Province.

 

The driver fled the scene of the accident, leaving the girl bleeding on the sidewalk. Over the next six minutes, more than a dozen people walked by the girl, yet not one individual did anything to help her. The girl was then hit a second time by another van before an elderly trash collector came to her aid and brought the attention of the girl's mother, according to the video and eyewitnesses.

 

Doctors said the girl, who is on life support, remains in a deep coma. The girl's parents, who are migrants living in the city, are now with her.

 

Police said the drivers of both vehicles have been arrested. However, the apathy of the bystanders shown in the video has shocked the public, as Internet forums have seethed with anger, and people are questioning the morality of society.

 

High moral standards were once triumphed as national pride in China where individuals known for selflessly helping others were adored by the public.

 

But in recent years, the perception of a decline of morals has become a hot topic as profit and materialism are perceived to be affecting society's values.

 

On Sept. 2, an 88-year-old man in central China collapsed, his face striking the pavement. Yet, no one came to his aid, and he ended up choking to death on the blood from his nose.

 

Some have linked the absence of good Samaritans to a previous case in which a man trying to help an elderly woman who fell was accused of harming her.

 

A strong chorus of opinion on the Internet says laws should exempt Samaritans from liability, yet laws themselves cannot solve society's morality dilemma.

 

Cao Lin, a China Youth Daily commentator, said in a signed article published on Monday that the worry of liability should not be an excuse for not helping, and this case exposes the decline of humanity in Chinese society. Enditem

A disturbing video caught by surveillance cameras shows a 2-year-old girl in China laying in the street bleeding, a victim of a hit and run. Even more shocking is that the toddler was then ignored by at least 18 people, The Telegraph reports.

 

Video of the incident, which took place Oct. 13, shows pedestrians and vehicles passing by the toddler, named Yueyue, after she was run over outside her family's shop in the Chinese city of Foshan.

 

The graphic video shows the van driver slightly hesitate before running the girl over.

Not a single person stopped to help the child as she lay bloody on the narrow street. At least 18 people passed by on bikes, in vehicles, or on foot.

 

Finally, a female trash collector, Chen Xianmei, 58, lifts the girl up and asks people if anyone knows the girl.

 

The child's mother eventually arrived to claim her, saying the girl's name is Yueyue, The Telegraph reports.

 

Yueyue remains in critical condition, a nurse told the paper by phone. Earlier, doctors said she had suffered major head injuries and was breathing only with the assistance of a ventilator.

^^ Saw that yesterday. Turns out that, in China, if you help someone you run the risk of being sued (for money you don't have). No wonder people don't care.
