A video emerged online showing a 7-year-old girl in China picking up a 4-year-old boy and throwing him down a well that was 5 meters deep.
What’s disturbing is that the little girl showed no sense of remorse for her actions or sympathy for the boy that she threw into the well.
Thankfully the boy was later rescued from the well by other villagers and suffered no injuries except for a bout of flu.
The Straits Times reported that the incident took place in a village in the Songming county in Yunnan, China, on 4 March at about 4 pm.
The incident was caught on one of the CCTV surveillance cameras that were installed all over the village.
The girl was seen in the video trying to lure the younger boy towards the well, guiding him towards it before picking him up and throwing him down the hole.
The bot then held on to the sides of the well in a bid to stop himself from falling down, trying to hold on for his dear life as he cried for someone to help him.
However, the girl then went and peeled his fingers of the edges of the well to make him fall down the hole entirely.
The boy continued crying for help from inside the bottom of the well but the girl remained unmoved and unbothered, standing beside the well for a while before leaving the area like a villain.
The boy was eventually rescued after a number of villagers heard him crying for help, and save for a few minor scrapes, bruises and a cold, he didn’t suffer any major injuries.
The well that he fad fallen into was reportedly 5 metres deep, with the water inside about 2 metres deep – the boy had fallen about 2.65 metres before hitting the water.
The girl’s family reportedly agreed to compensate some money to the boy’s money and gave then some food as well to apologise.
