that is one of the most awful things I've ever seen. Made me actually well up watching it. Really sad.

Reading the interviews with the guy after just makes things worse, the guy needs hanging.

Im not gonna watch the video cz i know that sort of thing would stay with me

Id say tho i have kids, 6, 4 and 2 and i dont reckon my 2 year old would understand what was happening if it happened to him

I reckon the others would get it but i reckon it would by extra scarey for him

[erics44]

Actually that was a daft post, i dunno what im on about

Sick world

I'm not going to watch the video either bu6 I can well belive it. As Missy pointed out it is a very well documented phenomenon and surprisngly instinctual. Those of you who are shocked and insist you wouldn't act like that, well, I guess those 18 didn't think they would either...

I actually witnessed something very similar many years ago when I had a summer job in a hotel along the Babbacombe downs in Torquay, a little hotel one road across from the cliff's.

My bosses daughter had recently had a baby that was just old enough to start walking, so I'm guessing maybe 18 months?

Anyway, she got out one day and we couldn't find her anywhere. So we all went out looking for her and I went across to the downs where there were literally dozens of people picnicing an walking about.

I asked people had they seen a little baby out walking alone and loads of people had and pointed in the directin of the cliff's, saying 'yeah she went down there somewhere!'.

I sprinted over there and found her on a little mud lane just above the sheer banks down to the beach a couple hundred feet below.

She could easily have fallen and died and you'd imagine that any sane adult seeing a baby marching towards a large drop would be somewhat concerned, but it seemed no. They happily saw her walking that way but went about sunning themselves.

Here's a picture of the down's to get an impression of how high up it is.

Diffusion of responsibility? There was no swarm of people shuffling by leaving everyone to fall to the same conclusion that someone else has done something about it. These were individuals passing by one after another.

The only thing that binds them is that they are all mental.

I can believe that witnesses to a murder thought they were witnessing a lovers tiff, I can see how that might happen. I cant think for one second though how a child laying smashed up in the road could possibly be construde as anything other than a really fucking bad situation. Perhaps they thought she couldnt get of to sleep in the street unless she was in a mangled heap?

Beautiful part of the world though

Filipinos are horrible drivers. BUT this wont happen in the Philippines.


a baby getting hit maybe but the 1st pinoy on the scene would at least shout for help.


I've helped a dude being beaten up by 3 to 4 guys what more a baby lying in her own blood.

What's one less baby mean in China? Means good things, I tell ya.

Yeah maybe if it was a male baby they would have thought more about saving it. One child policy and everyone wanting that male as an heir.

Very true. People could give a shit about girls down in Asia or the Middle East.

To be honest, I couldn't care less about what people do anymore. If I was there to be the first to walk by the child, though, things would have ended differently.

Bystander apathy is very common.

How many times have we walked passed someone who we assumed was a drunk/tramp sleeping on the floor, they could be dead for all we know. We just keep on walking, what if they are dead? Damn, I'd have to call the police, give a statement, what if they think I was involved, I'd be late for work, what if they're just sleeping I check up on them and they kick off....keep on walking. We've ALL done it.

I have seen pictures of this soup and how they make it. It's horrible and disgusting.
