Q: Can you Just Keep on walking?
From the front page
a Old woman claims that the Guy who helped her up was the reason she fell.
This is why people do not get involved because it is more trouble than it is worth
However on the other side remember the 18 month old little girl that was killed because a car ran her over more than once
help was to little to late but at least the Woman who came to her aid tried
I have helped people here before after they have fallen but I must confess that I would have to re evaluate the situation first before I did in the Future.
Can you just keep on walking?
11 years 22 weeks ago in Visa & Legalities - China
In my years here I have both intervened and walked-past. It's a sad commentary on society that when I did get involved I was sworn at and told to get lost while attempting to break up a boy/girl fight. I have seen people fall down and fall off their bikes (not often) and I have been shooed away by my wife or whoever is with me. Warned to not look - let alone lend a helping hand.
My wife and her parents watched a Canadian "Just for Laughs" gag reel the other day on CCTV. People were falling down and getting into minor accidents as a staged gag....100% of the time people would run to their aid only to be finally "let in on the joke" later. My mother in law asked. "Why don't they just walk past? Aren't they worried about getting blamed for the accident?"
Need I say more? There's that!
it is actually quite simple. when it comes to a child in danger definitely intervene. puck china's shatty legal system.
anyone else walk by and ask someone to call the police
I am with Crimo on this. Not that I don't want to help adults
Being almost burned once before, I have adopted a policy (and forced my mind to react accordingly even if it does make me feel lousy) that all I will do is either call the Police or an ambulance (or both), and keep on walking afterwards.

Honestly, that's the best course of action. At least someone will come to help them.

Hi Junsb: Glad to hear from you. Are you still back in the States, or gone elsewhere?. Hope everything is well with you and family, and many of us do miss you.
It's hard to just walk away especially if you see someone lying on the ground hurt. About several weeks ago a lady was laying in the road with about 50 or more people hovering around her. I got off the bus and noticed it. I kept going because I had to get somewhere, also because I didn't see what happened.
If you see the accident you should at least stop and give your statement to the police/authorities or the people that work at the hospital. That way they know where the person got hit and all of that information can be important later on if that person is in critical condition and they need to know that.
By the way you need to practice on your words 'too' and 'to'. I know they sound the same, but they have a different meaning. He he, I said: "practice"! (
!
I always intervene and help anyone in a dangerous situation. If they try to cheat me, their situation suddenly becomes infinitely more dangerous.

you see admin , i was right hulk and missA did run off together!first missa returns and now hulk a few days later. how dare you delete my post .
Hulk:
It's not true! I was really busy and didn't care to post. But somehow, it seems like my account was logged into like 100 times since departing... not sure why. It wasn't me.
For sure i usually stop and think about helping them, but then that thought pops into my head again. I might get blamed and sued, or worse end up in a Chinese gulag and then deported!
