the blaming game.

i really don't know what's becoming of the society nowadays. moments earlier, an enraged father of a little girl of about 5 years old was berating and blaming the taxi driver for not looking out for his daughter who apparently dashed out from the pavement and onto the road. btw, the road is in the carpark so the taxi was moving rather slowly. (according to witnesses) i don't think the taxi driver could have possibly seen the girl running out onto the pavement as she was quite short and covered by the parked cars. if he was driving any faster probably the girl would have been seriously injured. moreover, her father was not with her at the time of the incident so you can see how all this is panning out... yes, perhaps the taxi driver could have been daydreaming or perhaps driving quite fast, but the fact remains that her father was not holding her hand. definitely it is not solely the driver's fault, the way i see it, both parties are to blame. many factors also come into play with it being dark and all...

anyway, ambulance has taken her to the hospital, police has arrived. sigh.
