>>now, we ask ourself, as such hit n run must also happen in america, would the drivers have turned themselves in? doubtful.<<

Sure... these things happen here all the time. Driver hits pedestrian/cyclist at night, panics and runs, cops start looking, media broadcast details, driver sobers up, gets a lawyer and turns himself/herself in a day or two later. Google this and you'll get 320,000 hits... +"hit and run" +turns +"self in"

The tragedy of the little girl in China became a worldwide sensation only because of:

a) The people who passed by her without helping; and
b) The huge negative reaction of the Chinese public.

Note: In the USA the first driver would be in big trouble for hitting the girl, but his lawyer would argue that the parents were negligent for letting her wander in the street. In fact we just a had a case like that where a small child was found wandering along a road, and the authorities removed the child from the home and pressed charges against the guardian. With a good lawyer, the second driver would likely get the charges dropped (depending on what exactly the video shows).
