How cruel the world are
In China, this kind of situation is referred to as the 'Peng Yu' effect. Before you condemn then, you have to understand their situation. The law right now in China means that many victims of traffic accidents, or people who have fallen ill in the street have actually successfully sued the people that helped them for sums of money that could easily destroy lives, even if there is no evidence that they are the ones that caused the accident (because they were not).

Apparently the driver knew what he did, but was afraid to get caught. Mom was in the bathroom when she lost track of the daughter and couldn't find her.
According to reports the van driver had just split up from his girlfriend and was talking on his mobile phone when he hit the girl.
"If she is dead, I may pay only about 20,000 yuan ($3,125). But if she is injured, it may cost me hundreds of thousands yuan," said the driver over the phone to the media, before he gave himself up to the police.
When she ran from shop to shop for the identity of the girl, the rag collector was told by a number of shopkeepers to mind her own business.
