Just Sayin'

Yue Yue, the two-year-old girl that was viewed by the world on you-tube as she was run over twice and ignored by 18 passers-by in a Chinese market place has died of the massive injuries she sustained. Reaction has ranged from shock and outrage to the simple statement of "That's China for you." One explanation for the seemingly total indifference to the little one's ordeal is that those who left her there were too afraid to help, too worried about having a lawsuit brought against them for supposedly causing injury in their attempt to help.

Bullshit.

Let's start with the person making the video, shall we? This person was not taping the agony of an injured child. This person was greedily pursuing their moment in the spotlight as the maker of a vid that could go viral. They did not even care enough about the little girl to move her out of harm's way after filming the initial hit-and-run. Like the videographer, the others who passed her by did so because they are all members of a society that values the male above the female.
Look at the great imbalance in female-to-male ratio at birth in China. "For every 100 girls registered at birth, there are now 118 little boys - in other words, nearly one seventh of Chinese girl babies are going missing." With China's one child policy firmaly in place and the technology available to i.d. the gender of a child in utero, one female after another has been aborted in order to facilitate the next attempt to conceive the much sought after male. It is estimated that the number of such abortions reaches one million a year. Females who do make it to birth are abandoned at an alarming rate. It is not known how many of these poor unfortunates there are yearly, but it is known that many of them are found tossed onto garbage heaps. They are usually found there by garbage pickers.
It has been said that Chinese tradition despises girl children. (click to see further detail) That is the reason little Yue Yue was ignored by so many as she lay in agony, in peril of her very life. She was nothing more than a despised female.
Just sayin', that's all.
