20/10/2011- Xiong Maoke, 5
In Luzhou,Sichuan (Western China), 5 year old Xiong Maoke was killed after a truck driven by Ao Yang hit him. Although he stopped and called the police and ambulance, it was reported that the boy was stuck under the wheel for several hours while Yang argued with the parents and locals over how much he should pay. Several locals say that he reversed over the boy to ensure he died thus not having to pay long-term healthcare costs (generally 10x that of insurance pad out upon death).
The government and officials insist the child died on impact and this was merely an accident.
23/10/2011- Du Yangyang, 3
Dongguan's Chang'an province in Guangzhou saw three year old Du Yangyang get hit by a truck outside of his family's convenience store after the he went out to walk toward some sand 20 metres away. The child's mother was tending to his little sister in the strore. Chen Shirong, an eyewitness, was screaming at the truck to stop but the driver could not hear and backed up over little Du. Another witness, Lao Liu demanded the driver hand over the keys after he was seen getting out, and then back in, to the truck.
24/10/2011-(another) YueYue,2
In Zencheng, another little girl called YueYue was killed outside of her parents shop when she was hit by a car while playing. Her mother saw this and told the driver to stop. Passers by helped lift the car off of YueYue's head; at 5.30 the ambulance arrived but by 7.00 she was pronounced dead.
27/10/2011- Girl,1
An 18 month girl died after being hit by a truck in Xixiang,Shenzen.
Something is seriously wrong in China at the moment. Perhaps some of these were mere accidents but if the drivers DID run over the children after backing up onto their heads, they deserve the DEATH PENALY (in particular for the first two cases as well as the original YueYue case)
