Not to criticize her, that's her child and it is a completely understandable reaction she had. But it is cringe worthy and likely did more harm than good.
Do you expect anything less from a country that puts poison into dog food and toothpaste?
And we are trading with them why? And giving them our technology? Are we insane?

If this is part of the society truly because of the lawsuits, then that's especially disgusting. I thought the legal system in the states was pretty broken, but apparently it's horrendous the world over.
Things need to change... immediately. The people will not put up with this bullshit much longer.
this wouldn't happen here in Denmark, first off because I doubt you could even find 10 people so indifferent about a little girl, but most importantly because you are forced by law to help out a victim the best you can. you also can't be sued afterwards.
Perhaps not but people are never as altruistic as we think they are. It's been proven time and again scientifically.
Even if I had hardcore first aid training, I probably wouldn't help random people. I'm not going to risk making my family homeless and poor as the result of some bullshit lawsuit.I wonder how often the average person comes across something like this. My first thought is that EMT-level first aid should be mandatory in school. I think a lot of the problem is people not knowing how to help.
I am not excusing the incident, but I do want to caution against the sensationalist rhetoric. It's easy to pass judgement on others especially considering how tragic this is, but I doubt most of the people on this forum would reach out to that child if they were one of the onlookers.
You are a fucking idiot

Why was a child left alone to walk out into the street? Shouldn't the blame fall on the parents, not the bystanders?

As someone currently finishing up an EMT course, really the part that made me cringe the most was the woman at the end, picking up the child and letting him flail about. While she had good intentions, she could be doing worse for the child than the guy who stopped and kept going on the motorbike.
