Hit-and-run girl ignored by drivers

An eight-year-old girl was left screaming in the road with a broken leg after six cars drove past her and failed to stop to help.

Cait Atkins was knocked down in a hit-and-run near her home in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire.

Police said they were horrified and astonished that so many motorists failed to come to her aid.

Cait was hit by a small red Peugeot or VW Golf and suffered a broken leg in two places.

Pc Matthew Waters, the investigating officer, said: "The driver failed to stop at the scene.

"She was left in agony and was amazingly ignored by several passing motorists.

"She had to crawl to the edge of the pavement before being helped by a kind member of the public."

the world we live in never fails to amaze me...


sounds like the movie 21grams...

I couldn't pass a child that young in pain and not check if she was okay. However, it is sad to admit that if she was a teenage boy I might worry it was a trap of some sort which is a crap thing to say but is true. In that case I would use my cell phone to call an ambulance.

Welcome to Britain - where the scum get free handouts, the immigrants come to live for free, and the lawabiding get shit on; all for the price of your taxes.

no coment!

That just sucks HUGE:disgust

At least gays can't get married.

Any news on the newest American Idol?

Psychology 101

Diffusion of Responsibilty

thats fucked up.....

They can in the UK.

not sure it would be all that different in most of western society these days

Well that's true, but only because Western society these days is mainly an offshoot of Britain anyway, seeing as we used to own most of it.

that's pretty shitty.....

Sad stuff Sarah.

That's what civilisation breeds.. idiots and scum - and a few OK people in the middle.

Unbeleivable and sad

I'm an immigrant! :pimp

BTW Where do I get info on those free handouts you're talking about? :hi

wheres my guinness

Pretend you came from Iraq, via France and the Eurostar and you should be set :p

I'm an immigrant too and have never been given a free handout. Ten years on and I am still waiting. Heck, I had to pay for my own cup of tea at my citizenship ceremony.

Darn it, I'm too pale to be passed off as an Iraqi. :frenchman

See, if only you'd just broken the law and come in illegally, we could have given you a house, free money and gladly taken money off our citizens to give to you! But oh no - you had to do it the legal way... :winkwink:

OMG, our world is crazy and cruel. very sad story.

Is that the USA or Britain?

That is all so disgusting. People are all by themselves. They will not stop to help a person espesially a child or an old person.
When i was small, i saw a man lying on the street with epilepsy attack. Noone aproached him, passed by! Now i know what to do with such people in such cases. I know that they can die during the attack as they can hurt themselves.

Is there a Britain in the USA?

That is sad. Poor thing :(

it doesn't matter where it is - people are starting to be anonimous! they think : "i don't know that person, why should i help ?"

It wasn't about that. It was because i said:
And somebody asked if that was in the USA or Britain.

Some fucker actually stopped his car so the girl could crawl to the side of the road, then drove off!

Ah! Sorry! THought that was about the story. Still it could happen anywhere :(

You're confusing illegal immigrants and asylum seekers.

Illegal immigrants get fuck all because they're not 'in the system'. Asylum seekers may get support depending on their individual circumstances, which is how it should be.

:1orglaugh :Oh crap

I would get into a giant argument and all, but... as Murtaugh would say:

whoa thats fucked up. :(

Thats not really that suprising.. If you stop and help theres always a chance the cops make you out to be the bad guy. Plus kids are clever these days , it could be a trap or a scam..

omg, what the fuck, SIX CARS passed her? :\

pricks......

you're speaking to a limited audience :winkwink:

It's cowardice. On the one hand, there's the obvious probability that a child is injured right in your face... on the other hand, there's the nagging suspicion that a bunch of road warrior types with mohawks are waiting in the ditch to jump out and beat you with chains.

:disgust I could live with myself for getting suckered and mugged, but not for passing a little kid with a broken leg on the road.

Fuck me - it never fails.

This thread was a report of an eight year old girl being injured by a hit-and-run driver and then being ignored.

What do end up with?? A discussion about UK immigration and govt bank-rolling immigrants.

Obviously that's why there was an accident and everyone ignored it.

Is that called "Diffusion of Logic"?? :pimp

Agree Dagwolf:thumbsup Assuming the driver was aware of the hit, and it's hard not to see how he couldn't be (unless he was high or drunk) - it's called cowardice and trying to save ass from prosecution.

There is little prospect of anyone with chains in ditches :)

Only my :2 cents: worth - this is an extreme example of shit that is common place and increasing - especially in "civilised societies". It manifests itself in many ways, but boils down to preoccupation with "self" and often associated with greed and hate - basically anything but civilised.

If i remember, and ever reach the postcount needed, i'm changing my title to "Diffusion of logic" :pimp

Fuck post counts - shout on! :thumbsup :winkwink:

what the hell is wrong with people.

get his little ass!!!!

That is fucked up and a lot of heartless bastards

:Oh crap you mean passed her on her legs?

no, it means they drove by rather than stopped to help

You just call the cops when you're not sure...
