A five-year-old boy, Chen from Changwha was carried in by her father to the fire station in Puyen for help at around noon two days ago, the child was bleeding out of the back of his head, the fire department immediately rushed him to the hospital, after they’d performed the emergency resuscitation measures, but he’d still, died of severe injuries; the police investigated, that back then, the father of the boy was working with a forklift, the boy was suspected of playing in the back, that he was, run over by the forklift and died, the D.A. finished the autopsy yesterday, and they’re, trying to, delegate the responsibilities of this young child’s death.

The lieutenant of the local firehouse, Lee told, that two days ago around noon, a car sped into the entrance of the firehouse, the man, Chen rushed in with his five-year-old son in his arms, called out, “HELP!”, back then, the child had lost consciousness, the staff on duty immediately started to attempt resuscitate him, found that there was a serious laceration wound on the back of the child’s head, that he was puking blood up, the blood was running down like water from a faucet, stained the clothes; the firefighters immediately tried stopping the bleeding, and rushed him to the Lugang Christian Hospital, but the boy was too severely injured, after the emergency medical measures were performed, he’d still, died.

In the preliminary investigations, the police found, that the forty-year-old Chen was operating a forklift in the paper bag factory that he owned two days ago, his five-year-old son was playing close by, then, suddenly, ran into the driving range of the forklift, he’d not seen his own son, then heard a loud “BANG!”, stopped the forklift, and found his child fallen to the ground, bleeding out, that was when he’d realized, that he’d, run his own son down.

The paramedics asked Chen how his child got hurt, he’d told them that he’d fallen, and because the fire house was only a kilometer away from his factory, he’d worried that they couldn’t get to the hospital on time, that was why the father had a relative drive his son to the firehouse for help.

And so, this is, negligence, at the least, the father was careless, not watching where his own young son was playing, and, hit him, and, it was a tragic accident, no doubt, and it could’ve been easily, prevented, had the adult been more careful, watched his own young more carefully, but it wasn’t.
