How is this even on youtube? It's graphic as fuck

It'll stay up until a good samaritan such as yourself reports it as offensive. Is that a little kid on the street??
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
A three year old girl if the description is to be trusted.
I'm pretty sure the commentary said she was 2 years old. They were reporting how the kid got hit and the passers-by took no notice of her. They also said that the video doesn't show that the kid was actually screaming and making noise the entire time until perhaps the 19th (rubbish lady) turned up to check on the kid.
I'm more surprised that the kid's still alive.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
She is? Thank God
Yeah, she's in intensive care.Originally Posted by Archangel
Some other bits from the video:
The parents have 2 wishes:
1) that she comes around healthy and fine
2) that the police can catch the two drivers who ran her over
The first car's license plate was unreadable from the camera due to glare and reflection.

That's some fucked up shit. Even the other white van drove over her feet. Children dying on the streets must be everyday business for the people who passed her without a second look.
I think the more merciful thing would be for her to have died. I'd rather die than live in a world where people run over a 2 year old and several passersby ignore a screaming and crying baby on the road.
Where were the parents and why was their kid sitting in the road??

Shut the fuck up you moron.
What do you know of the parent's circumstances? Nothing? Then who are you to judge?
She's now a 2 year old paraplegic in a country where female fetuses are regularly discarded in the trash dumpsters behind birth clinics because parents can only have 1 (or 2) children and most want a boy... and their baby is sitting in the road to be run over by cars. Great parenting there.
You westerners and your self-righteous over-valuation of human life. They don't have it so easy and so ideal in poor countries with more people than resources. It's pragmatic to let your unwanted kid die. It sucks, but it's what goes on.

People seem a lot less like assholes when you realize they're just subject to socio/psychological effects they're not aware of.

<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
I know you're not referring to me with this "just world theory" reference. I'm not saying what happened to the little girl is just or deserved or otherwise excusable. I just think it's better she dies than continue to live in a world like ours after what happened to her. It's two separate thoughts, conveniently expressed in sequence.

I was referring to your comment about the parents. They have nothing to do with what happened. Your assumptions about their competence falls into the Just World theory.
The other stuff you said is abhorrent but probably a product of a jaded world-view that comes from experience. I can't hold that against you, just hope that you value human life a little more

Just re-watched the video, and thought this might not be apparent from just the imagery.
The beginning was not in slow motion. The car was initially driving very slowly, and then accelerated in the kid's direction.
The second driver may not have seen the kid on the ground.
Time between collision and help was 6 minutes.
The mother came over after hearing the cries of the helping woman. That means a) she was within earshot, and b) the kid mustn't have screaming that loudly (you know, as in kids on a bus).
edit: to clarify, the commentator added that the kid must have been screaming. Actual witnesses didn't testify. The kid was pretty quiet by the time she got help.
The commentator was explaining the SMS-survey at the end. at least one of those choices was providing excuses for the passer-bys.

Well I only asked where were the parents and why was their kid sitting in the road. If your 2 year old daughter is lying in the street to be run over passersby, I think the parents are culpable to some degree.I was referring to your comment about the parents.

I value human life for the most part, but I think westerners over-value human lives. I don't think it's enough to have a life, quality of life matters too.

Given the information we know, which is nothing, they are not culpable for anything. You have no idea what was going on and to assume in any way that the parents are somehow responsible is idiotic.
Even if you are the best parents in the world, it takes about 15 seconds for a child to wander off. They had absolutely no control over the situation. End of story.
Gonna stop replying.

What the fuck, what world do you people live in where your 2 year old can wander off, even for 15 seconds, and you're not fucking responsible??? I don't want to live in that world. Even if you say "maybe the babysitter let her wander off", then it's still the parents' fault for entrusting their 2 year old to an irresponsible babysitter.
You should stop replying, you're making yourself look foolish defending shitty parents.
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer?

You're the one jumping to conclusions while completely unaware of the facts regarding the whole situation.
If anyone is looking foolish in this little back and forth you two are having then that would be you.
What conclusions am I jumping to beyond that parents should be responsible for their 2 year old's whereabouts at all times? This isn't your pet dog or cat getting out of the yard, it's your 2 year old kid. And if you watched the video, the mom isn't that far away, but far away enough to not be aware of her 2 year old's situation, which is wrong no matter how far you want to push personal responsibility.

Oh and i'm done replying as well, sorry shoud have mentioned that.
