Outrage as critically hurt toddler left on street

More than a dozen passers-by ignored the two-year-old girl

More than a dozen passers-by ignored a two-year-old girl as she lay critically injured on a street in southern China after being run over twice, the official Xinhua news agency said Monday.

The incident has sparked outrage on China's hugely popular social media sites.

Surveillance cameras showed a series of people walk past the girl, named Yue Yue, after she was hit first by a van and then a truck outside her family's shop in the southern Chinese city of Foshan.

Xinhua said a rubbish collector who finally came to the girl's aid, moving her to the curb and shouting for help, was ignored by several shopkeepers before he finally tracked down her mother who took her to hospital.

In response, one netizen on Sina Weibo, a Chinese micro-blog similar to Twitter, wrote: "This society is seriously ill. Even cats and dogs shouldn't be treated so heartlessly."

But others linked the incident to an earlier case in which a man who tried to help an elderly woman after she fell over was prosecuted, apparently because his intervention broke government rules on dealing with accident victims.

Doctors said Yue Yue was in a coma and unlikely to survive the ordeal.

"She would not be able to survive any operations. She's very close to brain death," a spokesman for the hospital treating her told AFP.

Police have detained the drivers of both vehicles involved in the incident, Xinhua said.

On another note:

Egypt has begun mass deporation of Eritrean and Somali refugees Today.

This act by the Egyptains sorely undermines one of UNHCT's oldest RSD operations!

STOP ALL FORCED DEPORTATIONS NOW!

This is a very urgent humanitarian matter! The desperate Refugees have no homes or life to go back to and the majority are defactors and former prisoners of conscious.

if Deported back to the Dictatorship State of Eritrea, Eritrean Refugees are most likely to be imprisoned tortured and maybe even executed as records with the UN shows the same happened to other Refugees who were deported back to Eritrea from Italy.

I call upon your human conscious to take action right now!

Please write / call to the Egyptain Embassy right now and express your concerns.

Sadly, this is becoming all too common everywhere. People either don't want to get involved or are too scared to get involved.

The world is coming to pure materialism and survival of the fittest. No courtesy......no sympathy...and may be nothing other than pure selfishness.
