Popular Post webfact Posted May 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 7, 2020 Video: Thank goodness for CCTV after little girl's mum claimed motorcyclist fled the scene CCTV footage posted by Thai Rath showed the moment a little girl dashed out from behind a parked pick-up. The mother of the child who had not seen the footage claimed that the rider had fled the scene. The reality was very different. He had managed to take some small evasive action but this was probably enough to avoid the child being seriously hurt. As soon as the accident occurred the rider kicked down the side stand and attended to the child who was soon comforted by a woman at the scene. The rider told Thai Rath that he had tried to get in touch with the child's mother to explain before the CCTV showed he was in the right. His employer was prepared to pay for any treatment that the girl might need.

Popular Post lee b Posted May 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 7, 2020 How on earth could the mother claim that the bike rider fled the scene? She should have the cctv tape rammed down her neck. The rider did the best possible thing he could in that situation. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Misterwhisper Posted May 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 7, 2020 Tar and feather the mother and force her to cross the street 600 times, blind-folded! - firstly for making false claims, secondly for leaving her child unattended, thirdly for probably already having had baht signs in her eyes. The motorcylist is entirely blameless. And thank goodness the child did not suffer severe injuries due to her careless mom's neglect. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy from Kent Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Was everyone protected from seeing the full incident by editing so no one would be offended? Happy the little girl was OK but if it was worth reporting by the source I think it didn't require editing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mother is admitting that she's guilty of negligence by shouting and trying to throw focus and blame on other people.

No no no no no. This is Thailand, where she neglected her daughter and then blamed someone else when the girl could have been injured. Perfectly normal behaviour in a country where no-one ever takes responsibility for their actions. It's always someone else's fault. Always.

Redoubt Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 It is a reality that adults are ultimately responsible for the safety and management of their little children and roaming pets. This case begs the questions: Where is the child's guardian? Who has taught the child concepts of safety near / upon roadways? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
