This incident has shown a greater issue in China. Over the past 60 years, the communist government has systematically destroyed the traditional Chinese culture, the spritiual believes, the principles of virtues. They have installed in people minds the communist idealogy of "struggle and fight with humanity". There is nothing to up hold moral value and conscience of society in China today. People will do anything to make money or to avoid responsibility. In people minds, there is nothing but "money, money and money". That's why you see people are indifference even in this kind of situation. I hope this incident will wake people conscience up and they do something about it. More importantly, I hope this little poor girl will gian full recovery soon.

Reply to this commentMatt, I'm with you. The reason it's gone global is because if it weren't for the video it would be hard to believe that EIGHTEEN people could walk past this poor, poor child. I will never forget her either.

Reply to this commentIt's anguishing to see this; hit and runs happen globally, and are dreadful - particularly in instances of simple carelessness, but it's the subsequent ignoring of the poor girl by the passers by that revolts.
People in London are genuinely confused about how they could possibly have not even called an ambulance - stood by her to protect her from further harm.
If they were trying to avoid involvement, they have trapped themselves in such a tangled web that they are more involved than they could ever have imagined. Even without the camera, this would be so.
I hope to all hope that something changes - seeing this has been something of a life-changing event for me.
And of course, I pray for the little girl's life and soul.

Oh MY GOD... I don't even have children but what is wrong with some people in their heads!! I pray for this little girl that the LORD helps her make a full recovery and the people who seen/hurt this child while she lay there in pain crying for help for her life, let them have a very hard time sleeping at night while they wrestle with their humanity/dignity they lack!!
