At that time, the parents reportedly ordered their son to cross the road alone from the other side.
According to Chinese online media CTWANT, a two-year-old child was hit by a car on a road in Zhangjiajie, Hunan Province, at around 5 p.m. on the 20th of last month.
The accident occurred when the child's parents made their son cross the road 'practice'. In particular, it encouraged unauthorized crossing, not crosswalks.
CCTV footage shows parents standing on one side of the road and their son on the other side in a crowded situation where vehicles pass quickly.
The child fell and fell to the ground while trying to cross the street.
The parents didn't run to help the child, but beckoned the child to get up.
When the child hesitated, the mother approached him, helped him to his feet, and then made him continue the dangerous 'road crossing' again.
In the meantime, the child was walking toward his parents without being aware of the approaching vehicle and was hit and flew several meters away.
The video ended with parents running to their child.
Local police said the child was injured in the crash and the car in the accident was also damaged.
However, the extent of the child's injury is not known.
Authorities decided that the driver was primarily responsible for the accident, but issued a stern warning to the parents.
However, online, there were a lot of criticisms that parents are more responsible.
Netizens say that a child who has just learned to walk is too young to learn how to cross the road", "It's a parent's madness to let a child cross the road on his own.", "Didn't the parent intentionally put the child at risk to claim insurance?", "Parents should be accused of attempted murder and punished." is responding.
