Growing up in Vietnam, which has very similar view on person life's value as China, I've seen tons of dead people on the street and the only thing bystanders ever do was stare at them I guess, myself included for a couple of time. | ||

Some idiot got sued over here because she caused someone irreparable spinal cord injury pulling them out of a car after an accident, so I guess there's limits. Germany considers it a misdemeanor to actively ignore someone who needs medical attention if the act of helping bears no reasonable chance of injury to the bystander in question. I think. It's a weird situation. The risk of legal trouble while helping someone really should be eliminated. Regardless of whether or not the rescuer(s) further your injuries, they were only trying to help. The fact that you can be help legally responsible is baffling. | ||

I'm sure if there was no risk people would be rushing to help. I'm sure not. It was a 2-year-old toddler, visibly injured. Doesn't look like a scam much. The above poster was right, people just walked by relaying responsibility onto someone else. No one really gives a shit. | ||

I also don't see how any law can prevent basic human principles; helping the less fortunate is one of humanity's earliest adaptions. | ||

These views are extremely limited. It's only recently that human life has been seen that way. | ||

Really disappointed in TL. And also agreed. I could get in trouble? Sued? Thrown in jail? There is a child dying in the street. I'm supposed to say "better her than me?" | ||
