Perhaps more importantly, how could anyone stand and film that baby but do nothing?! It seems that good ratings on youtube are more important than lives now...

It was a security camera on the highway. Security cameras can zoom in but I do agree with you on other videos how some people film bad incidents on their camera and just stand their like a lemon and don´t do anything... you feel like screaming at them to put the camera down and help!

Ahh ok thanks busyb I didn´t realise it - but yes, I agree with you about nobody stopping :S Its weird. Once I was driving to work and suddenly had to stop because the traffic was at a complete standstill. I waited for 10 minutes and then got out the car to see what was going on... a family of ducks were crossing the road (mother duck and about 10 ducklings!!!!!).
So...what the hell was wrong with those drivers swerving around the baby?!!!!

... a family of ducks were crossing the road
A man and his daughter were killed and his wife seriously ingured when a motorist stopped to let ducks cross on the hightway(speed limit of 100Km/hrs)
The life of animals seems to be more inportant than the life of humans
So...what the hell was wrong with those drivers swerving around the baby?!!!!
It is called not getting involved, someone else will take care of the situation. If someone would have stopped to help the child and "harmed" the child the parents could have sued for injuring the child.

In the news report I read it said that an HGV driver saw the child and slowed the rest of the traffic and in doing so the mother saw her child sitting there. But the police were called and they returned the child to the mother by drivers. She said the child was asleep under a tree whilst she was begging on the side of the road and she did not realise it was was awake. The cameras were security cameras.

Fortunately all ended well.
but, is it not rather sad that the mother has to beg to get a living and leave her child asleep under a tree??

Yes, if that were in fact the case. OTOH, it could be she prefers this mode of generating income.....some do.

The thing is, that SOMEONE else who would take care of it DID get involved which so happened to be (as libralady said) the driver of a lorry/truck. He slowed down to make the other traffic do so too. If that "someone" didn´t get involved then maybe that baby wouldn´t have had such a lucky escape. The mother couldn´t have sued in the first place as she was the one who neglected her child by placing it under a bush to sleep. She was given the child back but in places like the UK etc if that were to happen, the mother would have been arrested and most likely sentenced for neglecting and endangering the childs life.

if you look at the time libralady posted her´s after mine, so I did not know that the lorry driver had slowed the traffic because it did not say in the report I saw and I was answering theanigma´s question "what is wrong with the drivers not stopping" and here in Canada a woman would have her child taken away from her for that type of neglect, it´s called child indangerment.

I know you were answering TheAenigma´s question and I also was replying too with my opinion. I think it was wrong that many people didn´t stop because they could have hit the child, and if they didn´t they didn´t make sure that any other person slowed down either because there was a "hazard" in the road. Which is also legally required, baby or not. Everyone is entitled to thier opinion, and this is mine

There is nothing wrong with arguing that black is white when we all know that it is really pink

- It´s basic psychology. In situations like this most people don´t do anything. If a disaster happens, or something so strange as a baby on the street, people are stunned and just do what the majority of the other people does. If that is driving away, they will drive away. You can´t blame people for being humans
