RIPTIDE Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 That makes me sick when I first heard about it. I wonder how can people be so heartless! Not sure its surprising. IN countries that are very litigious, passers-by who have helped people have been successfully sued for aggravating injuries...

Kuky Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 (edited) Not sure its surprising. IN countries that are very litigious, passers-by who have helped people have been successfully sued for aggravating injuries... Yup, that's one of the reasons why people in lot of cases do not wish to get involved... in this case though getting involved would only require to get the girl out of the way and call ambulance/police and I can't understand how can people walk by someone that is bleeding, and this was only a 2 year old child and that makes it 10x worse :noexpression: And the 2 van drivers better end up in jail where they belong... for many years Edited October 22, 2011 by Kuky No longer active in DCS...

Beagle One Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Not sure its surprising. IN countries that are very litigious, passers-by who have helped people have been successfully sued for aggravating injuries...That's why in my conrty you are cover by public insurrance while doing first aid...but doing nothing or even just passing by is a punishable act...I have to to first aid training every year including use of defibrilators. Had two occurences for first aid in the ast twelve months in public...usually its not hard to get more helpers...but the one to take the first step is the one that hesitates the most. calling the ambulance get's you out of trouble but is oftennot enough. Well but I guess people are "cheap" in china so nobody bothers much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leafer Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I don't think it has anything to do with fear of being sued. I just think those people just didn't give a hump. A normal humanbeing would have helped that child even with a lawyer come runing and screaming I'll sue your ass. As screwed up as Thailand is that little would not have been left there to die had it happened to her here. ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speed Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 (edited) And of course you don't see the clips of people getting hit by cars and someone immediately rushing to their aid, which are 20X-100X more plentiful. Every once in a while someone gets hurt in public on camera and the first dozen people to pass are selfish douche bag lowlifes, and it makes the news.

Prophet Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 This is more a case of a culture developed from a lot of people, and limited resources. To help others, in a lot of situations, means to not have for yourself or your family. Me and a colleague were talking about this the other week when I was in China, about how they have no concept of lines (queues for some). And then this happened right after, and he explained how it stems from the same attitude. They have been to be so concerned about themselves, not only to survive, but to also distinguish themselves.
