Little Chinese girl hit and run victim dies...

The reason the drivers didn't stop and the people didn't help is because of a difference in Chinese law.

I read this and don't know how accurate it is, but the excuse given is that if someone brings the child in for care, they might be arrested and accused of hurting the child. Even though the incident was accidental, the driver said they could be fined or even jailed so they have no incentive to stop and help.

That's not irony. Irony is saying "Nice day out!" in the middle of a hurricane.

That is not irony. That is called sarcasm. Irony would be if every sunny day you wore jeans and the one day it rains you came to work in shorts and a t-shirt.
Irony = an outcome of events contrary to what was, or might have been, expected.

I guess what you said could technically be considered irony. So could a thread about the tragic death of a little girl that turned into a thread about beating your kids and not giving them an award during their kimdergarten graduation.

Kids need to experience magic everyday because as eevry adult already knows, that magic will disappear in a pile of bills and responsibilty.

"bolsen" is right though.
This thread is about this little girl.
Didn't even have time to "live".
RIP (if you can).

It isn't failr but it happens in every part of this planet. It's just too young. All she probably did was smile everyday and laugh and cry when she was hungry. Just sucks...

There's no technical, it IS an ironic statement. Saying one thing when the exact opposite is true.

That's called reality. :)

Kids should not be coddled 24/7. A dose of reality is needed every so often no matter the age.

I don't know about you guys but all the discipline in the world hasn't taught my 4 year old son to watch where he's going. He's a clumsy one and you couldn't shove reality down his throat with 10 ton hydraulic press. It's just about always knowing where they are. They will learn in time to look where they are going after bumping the head enough times. I don't think getting run over by a cargo van is a good teacher.

Completely different cuture in China. Parents used to kill thier little girls when they were only allowed to have one child, everyone wanted a boy, someone who could carry on the family name and earn a wage. China's economy exploded so fast, there are ghost cities already built to house the "mountain people" of China they are trying to entice to get away from farming and do factory work. It is tragic what happened to the little girl but the article even says the mother is not from there, they are probably used to leaving thier kids unattended wherever it is they came from. Sad.

I think either the parent was an idiot or you are completely correct.

I do. A 9 yr old girl. I don't coddle her 24/7 and I tell it to her like it is. But in a way a child can understand. She's very smart. Knows right from wrong. Looks all directions, questions peoples behaviors, has very good common sence also notices how stupid society can be and is at times. But also has an awesome sence of dry humor. Of course she does something wrong or something stupid at times but it's minimal. Overall. She rocks!!



It's an unfortunate society that we live in. Can only imagine what the future hold for all of us.

Fair enough. My daughter is one so we don't have to do anything but keep her safe and love her. Just like this two year old girl from China should've been experiencing.

Brittany tried that one last year. My response was "I hope you like foster care, cause your backside will be outta here a lot quicker than it got here". It seemed to sink in.
 
Both of ya'll are right. Kids do need a dose of reality and they also need special times. It is a balance. There is a balance to everything, even as adults we have reality and fantasy. The bills won't stop coming, but if i could just win the lottery...............
 
Its a sad commentary on modern life as to what happened to the little girl in China. It unfortunately happens here too. Some people just deserve a severe beating.

I'm hearing a lot of dumb comments in this thread. "Knock some sense into your kids"? "Kids shouldn't grow up feeling special"? Lots of dumb comments indeed. The irony is, people are talking about beating children and "taking them down a peg or two" in a thread that was started because a child was so un-loved by the world that she suffered a horrific and easily avoidable death.

Irony is defined by the posts in this thread.

That is all...

I didn't read about anyone beating a child in this thread. I read about how parents used to do just that... PARENT. There is a social disconnect in the modern family that says it's alright for children to be rude, sarcastic and even belligerent to adults. I find that offensive. Children are not adults and should not be treated as adults. And yes you are right what happened to that little girl in China is horrible and inexcusable but in today's world I'm sorry to say not surprising and that is what is truly sad.
 
Saw the video and its horrific. I read something that its Chinese law that if you hit someone you have to pay their medical bills for life. Its kinda what you would expect from a country that has over a billion people where human life isn't worth ****.

I suggest not watching the video. What is seen can not be unseen.
 
I have not seen it nor plan on it. But if it was some drunken asshat fool. I'd replay it over and over.

Everyday I am still amazed at how so many supposed adults act towards one another. Working outdoors all year. I see all kinds of stupid acts towards fellow peeps. It sure leaves me little hope for my daughters future.

I still can not grasp and understand how people can intentionally hurt or kill a helpless child. Just going to pick up my daughter from school at times. I see "parents" not caring. Driving like complete jagbags. Society sucks:(

While I agree, I have seen worse, and still see it in my mind semi regular. What the hell is the world coming to?
 
In NY, a woman was shot and killed accidentally, just by being at the wrong place at the wrong time. She was in her 30's. She died while shielding her kids from the gunfire.

She had 13 kids.

She was pregnant.
