Watch: Chinese Toddler Crushed by SUV While Mother takes selfies

Because the toddler is in the car’s blind spot, the driver, when he finally pushed down on the gas and accelerated, runs over the boy, crushing him under the front right wheels.

When children and teenagers become addicted to mobile phones and tablets, it is understandable: it’s the norm for their generation, and it a way their obsession with technology is almost forgivable.

But when adults, particularly parents, become so obsessed with mobile phones and social media that nothing else figures, it is a cause for more concern.

Watch: Chinese Toddler Crushed by SUV While Mom Takes Selfies

Such was the case with this Chinese mother who failed to see her son being crushed by an SUV because she was too busy looking at her smartphone.

The horrific scene was captured by a CCTV camera in a residential area in Anhui Province, eastern China.

Reported to have occurred April 19, the clip shows a toddler walking across the street while his mother is busy checking herself and fixing her hair with the front camera of her phone.

The toddler approaches an idle SUV, and because he is in the car’s blind spot, the driver, when he finally pushes down on the gas and accelerates, runs over the boy, crushing him under the front right wheels.

When the driver feels the foreign object beneath his car, he leaves his car to examine what had happened.
