I remember the video of the kid being hit by a car in China and no-one came to help. Here's a mindfuck for ya'll:

Quote:
The guidelines on how to help elderly people who have fallen down, issued by the Ministry of Health in September, reportedly advise the public: "Don't rush to lend a hand to the elderly after seeing them fall over. It should be handled by different measures in different situations." The measure is a fruit of a broadly-known case of a Chinese man who helped an elderly lady who had fallen down, only to be accused of pushing her and having to pay her a large amount of money.

In addition, China does not observe any Good Samaritan laws, which protects those who help others in distress in most parts of the world. Because China does not have that law, it is being speculated that fear of being blamed or prosecuted for the girl's injury made so many turn "numb" when seeing Wang on the ground.

Edit: I'm not excusing this behaviour at all, but it can explain why people didn't came to help or just kept driving in fear of being accused of driving over her. Knowing that calling for help or anything like that might lead to a prison sentence etc. I don't think I'd be able to not call for an ambulance anyways.. But seeing how the laws are made I can understand why people didn't want to risk it.
