3-year-old girl gets caught in car's sun roof and suffocates to death

CHINA - A 3-year-old girl in China was playing with the sun roof of her father's car, when she got caught in the mechanism and suffocated.

 

Her mother, Fan Dao Ju, said: "I just hope that this doesn't happen to other families, because it is just too painful to bear."

 

According to her father, Zhang Bing, the tragedy happened last Saturday. He had been on his way back to his hometown with his daughter, Ling Ling, when they met up with an old friend from the same village.

 

Mr Zhang gave his friend a ride. As they chatted, Ling Ling stood up, and put her upper body out of the open sun roof. She was playing with the buttons that operated the sun roof's mechanism.

 

The adults in the car were busy chatting, and did not take notice of the little girl. Some time later, the family friend patted Ling Ling and asked her to come down. Her father, then looked up and saw that her neck was stuck in the partially closed sun roof.

 

He immediately opened the sun roof to release his daughter, before trying to revive her.

 

At that time, an ambulance passed by, and the friend hailed it down. A paramedic in the ambulance tried resuscitating Ling Ling for at least 5 minutes, but it was too late.

 

Mr Zhang told reporters: "She was such a bright little girl, and she was the love of our lives."

 

Although Mr Zhang admitted that the tragedy happened partly because of his own negligence, but he had demanded compensation from the car's manufacturer as well, as he believed that the car's sun roof did not provide enough safety features.

i don't understand how can he allows this to happen let alone continue. to compound it, daughter's death due to own neglience also want to pin it on car's manufacturer. speak volumes of his character and his duties as a father.

 

back to topic, between going without restrain vs 2nd hand smoke. i am more against the former, lesser of both evils as all it takes it one second to change children's status from living to dead.

 

the other pet peeve, those parents esp those driving SUV, MPV, they must have a misguided notion that they are driving a tank cos very often i witnessed children either seating in front and/or unrestrained or worse case, standing/climbing on the seats. & heck, these drivers don't look like uneducated abt safety.

I tell you, many smokers are very selfish... just like my neighbour, always smoke at the corridor away from his kids but the smoke will drift into my house to my kid when i did not close my door... everytime i have to go close the door with a small bang but after so many times he still dont get the hint... and the no smoking in car park and under shelter area are simply ignored by many...

Finally, I see a post that put emphasis on the child seat rather than the 2nd hand smoke.

 

I don't understand why everyone else is talking about the 2nd hand smoke when it is absence of the child seat that is more critical actually.

Usually if you see people smoking in those no smoking areas, just go up to them and ask them to stop smoking. Usually they will stop la. I have done that many times and so far all stopped or move away to another spot. Always see some people sit in a group in the coffeeshop drinking and smoking at the non-smoking area. Have to tell them off or else they will keep doing it.

I bo chiap. That is their family, their way of teaching. All i can say is good luck to the kid.

 

Upbring is important and believe it not, it does afftect the child.
