[/table] [p=30, 2, left]GUANGZHOU - Many psychologists say that the passers-by who did not stop to [/p][p=30, 2, left]help a little girl who had been hit this past week by two vehicles must shoulder [/p][p=30, 2, left]much of the blame for her current condition.[/p]
[p=30, 2, left]At the same time, though, they are calling on parents to pay more attention [/p][p=30, 2, left]to their children, especially when they are in industrial and commercial [/p][p=30, 2, left]places.[/p]
[p=30, 2, left]Yue Yue, the 2-year-old girl who was hit, began to slip into a worse state on [/p][p=30, 2, left]Tuesday night, forcing workers at the hospital where she is being treated to go [/p][p=30, 2, left]to extra lengths to try to save her, said Su Lei, director of the intensive care [/p][p=30, 2, left]unit at the General Hospital of the Guangzhou Military Command of the People's [/p][p=30, 2, left]Liberation Army. Doctors had previously deemed the girl to be brain dead.[/p]
[p=30, 2, left]After she had been hit, 18 people walked past her without coming to her [/p][p=30, 2, left]rescue. Help finally arrived when Chen Xianmei, a 57-year-old garbage collector, [/p][p=30, 2, left]moved her to the side of the road and shouted for her parents.[/p]
[p=30, 2, left]The indifference of the passers-by is, without a doubt, partly responsible [/p][p=30, 2, left]for the girl's current condition, said Annaliza Chan, a licensed psychology [/p][p=30, 2, left]counselor in Guangzhou, capital of Guangdong province.[/p]
[p=30, 2, left]"But her parents are also to blame for neglecting to care for her. Why was [/p][p=30, 2, left]the little girl alone on the road?"[/p]
[p=30, 2, left]Yue Yue's parents, who hail from Liaocheng in Shandong province, run a small [/p][p=30, 2, left]shop in a Foshan hardware market containing more than 2,000 businesses.[/p]
[p=30, 2, left]"The girl often played alone outside of her parents' shop," said a shop owner [/p][p=30, 2, left]who would only state his surname, Du.[/p]
[p=30, 2, left]"At times, her parents would not come back for her for about an hour."Most [/p][p=30, 2, left]people who do business here are from other provinces and regions. They don't [/p][p=30, 2, left]have time to look after their children while they are doing business."[/p]
[p=30, 2, left]The hardware market, a place whose small roads can often be seen conveying [/p][p=30, 2, left]various vehicles, has few accommodations for small children.[/p]
[p=30, 2, left]"Children like Yue Yue often play or walk alone there," Du said. "It is very [/p][p=30, 2, left]dangerous."[/p]
[p=30, 2, left]As a result, Chan called for parents and society to pay more attention to [/p][p=30, 2, left]children's safety.[/p]
[p=30, 2, left]In recent years, Guangzhou has seen an increase in the number of children who [/p][p=30, 2, left]have died after being neglected by their parents.[/p]
[p=30, 2, left]In a typical case, a 2-year-old boy was killed after falling into a river in [/p][p=30, 2, left]Guangzhou's Baiyun district on July 6 this past year. At the time, his mother [/p][p=30, 2, left]was working on the Internet at a cybercafe nearby.[/p]
[p=30, 2, left]On Sept 21, a boy was killed after being knocked down by cargo that his [/p][p=30, 2, left]father was unloading at a printing plant in the city's Haizhu district.[/p]
[p=30, 2, left]"The parents' lack of care was blamed for these unfortunate events," she [/p][p=30, 2, left]said.[/p]
[p=30, 2, left]Lao Yufeng, a psychology teacher at the Nanwu Primary School in Guangzhou, [/p][p=30, 2, left]attributed Yue Yue's accident to her parents' neglect.[/p]
[p=30, 2, left]"The parents are also responsible for the accident," she said. "Beyond [/p][p=30, 2, left]calling for parents to pay more attention, we should ensure school children [/p][p=30, 2, left]undergo safety instruction."[/p]
[p=30, 2, left]Yue Yue's rescuer, Chen Xianmei, has meanwhile left Foshan for her hometown, [/p][p=30, 2, left]Guangdong province's Qingyuan.[/p]
[p=30, 2, left]"My family's lives, especially my mother's, have been greatly disturbed by [/p][p=30, 2, left]this accident," Yangcheng Evening News quoted Chen's son as saying on [/p][p=30, 2, left]Wednesday.[/p]
[p=30, 2, left]"Please stop asking her why she did this. We hope her life will go back to [/p][p=30, 2, left]being the way it was before this."[/p]
[p=30, 2, left]In recent days, Chen has been bewildered by the large number of requests for [/p][p=30, 2, left]media interviews that she has received. Critics meanwhile have accused her of [/p][p=30, 2, left]helping the girl merely out of a desire for publicity.[/p]
[p=30, 2, left]Yue Yue's mother collapsed again on Wednesday after she had learned that the [/p][p=30, 2, left]girl's situation was worsening.[/p]
[p=30, 2, left]Donations, along with flowers, fruit and toys, continued to pour in for Yue [/p][p=30, 2, left]Yue on Wednesday.[/p]
[p=30, 2, left]A China Daily reader in Britain, who asked for a way to contact the girl's [/p][p=30, 2, left]family, said: "I know that this incident and the articles have touched many [/p][p=30, 2, left]people's hearts and who just want to do something. Although money cannot make up [/p][p=30, 2, left]for the pain which Yue Yue's parents must be feeling, hopefully it can [/p][p=30, 2, left]contribute in some small way and show the family how much others care."[/p] she was dead this morning!

Yes, I saw it. Sad for her. 觉得有些奇怪，舆论导向是怎么了，路人见死不救是不对，但最主要的责任还是肇事司机啊，似乎指责路人的声音要更大些的。
