Woman charged for running her car over a kid
A criminal court has fined an Asian woman QR10,000 for reckless driving who ran over her car on a four-year Pakistani child, who later died due to critical injuries received during the accident.

I am sorry but Mr. Dark_Moonx1, i do not agree with and do not believe on your story (i think i have a right for this). While the reason of disagreeing is, read: http://thepeninsulaqatar.com/news/qatar/347981/asian-woman-fined-qr10-000-for-running-over-her-car-on-a-child,
This report is of 18.07.2015 and you quoted "last year". The perspective, as you said, is not from the right angle. And one more point, i dont want to raise again, which is clearly showing that somebody made this story.
Thanks for the clarification.
I am sure the court took all aspects into account.
The only issue I have is with the reporter. There is no shame in mentioning the nationality of the culprit. One incident does not tar a whole nation.
Not sure if it's true as it's told from a perspective of someone overseeing the whole incident and what has transpired all in all.
Reposting from one commenter at the other site. Same news.
"Actually I know the complete story. The child involved in the accident was my cousin. This accident was happened last year. The child was outside his house with his elder brother and another cousin. At that time the child was unattended and he suddenly came out to the middle of the street. The girl how was driving the vehicle was a nurse from HMC. She hit the child and his head was struck to road. At that time when she saw that the street was empty so she tried to run away from the spot. While she was leaving the child on the road one Indian driver was standing near his sponsor home saw the girl and noted down the number of the vehicle. The child was then rushed to hospital and on midnight he passed away due to his head injury. His skull was crushed in to four pieces due to high impact of the collision. Meanwhile the police and the CID were searching for the person who had hit the child but could not. Then the Indian driver told his sponsor about the incident and then the sponsor called the police and told about the vehicle number which was involved in the accident. The CID then drove to the female nurse home and arrested her at home. At first she tried to refuse the allegations but after wards she confessed and the Indian driver recognized her in court room. The reason of very less fine was due to the child attendance by an adult on the road. I hope everything is clear now."
A stone is a weapon, water is a weapon, and if you pump somebody up with pressurized air then air is a weapon. It's always the person who is the criminal, not the thing. An calling it an 'accident' is one of the lamest excuses the human kind has ever created.
A car is a weapon . Therefore it is a crime and should be treated as such
To kill someone while you are driving is an Unintentional accident not a crime, children must be close to parents not let them play any where they like.
THE ABOVE REPORT THERE IS NOTHING TO DISCUSS SERIOUSLY...IDREESKHAN PLS TELL HOW YOU KNOW THAT IT IS AN INDIAN WHO MADE THE ACCIDENT...YOU ARE JUST GUESSING...ITS NOT FARE TO CRITICISE IN SUCH SITUATION...THERE IS NO HARM IN MENTIONING THE COUNTRY OR NOT
I think IdreesKhan is right, either not to mention anyone's nationality or mention to all. However, it is mentioned by Hamidpipi1 that the defendant was from Philippines. I will request all to drive safely for yourself, for your families and for other road users.
@acchabaccha this create the image of peoples and tell me one thing does this money will bring back that kid,
I have one rule either never mention the nationality of any person or mention for all why the dual standard like in above case
Yup even if the driver is not at fault and a padestrian is killed, the driver stills pays blood money.
A Qatar court has ordered an expat woman who struck and killed a four-year-old child with her car to pay a fine of QR10,000, Al Raya reports.
The defendant, who is from the Philippines, was accused by the prosecution of reckless driving. She was also told to pay, along with an insurance company, QR200,000 in blood money to the victim’s relatives.
According to the newspaper, which did not specify when the accident happened, the woman had been driving in a residential area in Bin Omran when she ran over a Pakistani boy. Gulf Times translates:
Can anyone tell me what difference it would make if the nationality of the driver was disclosed? The child lost her life, a big tragedy in itself. Will the disclosure of the nationality bring back the child? Or will it help in rating which nationality has good drivers and which reckless ones? Some people are looking for opportunities to point fingers at others.
Bad thing is when ever any news related to any Indian offence comes they write only Asian they never mention there nationality... I'm not sure why dual standard If offence is happened by any other nationality they mention it explicitly. Like in this case killer nationality is not mention but they have mention the nationality of victam
its only an accident.it can happen to anyone.let her pay the charges and go.ALLAH GIVES,ALLAH TAKES
Are Pakistanis not considered Asians ?
Life has no value in Qatar.
Only fine?
A fine for killing a child. And I thought the British legal system was lax
