Man Arrested in Toddler Hit-and-Run Case

One of the two drivers who ran down two year-old Wang Yue and left her to die in a Foshan alley has been apprehended, a happening which must simultaneously be celebrated as a success for the Chinese government and rued as a pathetic reminder of how rife apathy has become in all corners of the world. After being struck down twice, the toddler lay dying on the roadside as more than a dozen potential Samaritans passed by- a middle-aged garbage collector known as "Granny Chen", now laying low in order to avoid publicity, has been praised by the grieving mother of "Yue Yue" as "representing the best of human nature" for stepping up to help the little girl. One Jun Hu is now under arrest for his alleged involvement.

James Feinerman of CNN Washington reported that the influx of migrants from the Chinese countryside has engendered indifference in the urban population, in that most Chinese would (perhaps justifiably) prefer to keep to their own business and avoid confrontation. The institution of Good Samaritan Laws in China have been off to a rocky start since a past case, where an elderly woman sued a young man who helped her after she fell out of a bus.
Certainties of the case include that a young girl is dead from carelessness, and that one man remains to be apprehended. Uncertainties include if the child's family will be allowed or be able to have another child to replace their beloved daughter, the punishment that will be deemed suitable for Mr. Jun, and the implications for the spread of apathy in this emerging nation.
