The Daily Mail headline doesn't really do the story justice: "Texas toddler dies in the hospital after Uber driver accidentally runs her over: Heartbreaking video shows child walking in front of the car after her ride, as grief-stricken family react by pummeling man behind the wheel." So the basic facts are these:
- Black family takes an Uber home to their apartment complex. The Uber was driven by one Muhammad Khan.
- Black family piles out of car not caring one whit that their 1-year old daughter is wondering around the outside of the car unsupervised although the parent(s) have a legal duty to supervise their child.
- As Khan starts to drive away, unable to see the 1-year old that the black family was ignoring, he strikes the child and runs over her with one of the vehicle's wheels.
- Khan immediately starts to work to free the girl and get her into his car to drive her to the hospital.
- The black family--consistent with their prior lack of concern for the child--immediately start beating Khan rather than attempting to help. A classic r-select behavior.
Wait, I think I've seen this one before . . .
