According to the timestamp on this CCTV footage, this incident happened on 10th November 2019, Sunday, during the evening. It is unclear where this incident happened.
The little boy was cycling from inside the house and was intent on going out. At this time, his father was busy washing the car and we’re not sure if there was anyone monitoring him from inside the house.

Once he exits the compounds of his own home, we see a white car approaching from the left side of the road. The car probably thought that the child would avoid him, or maybe they didn’t see him at all, so they crashed into the child and ran over him.
After the incident happened, everyone ran out of the house to check on the child and the driver stopped further down the road and came down from the car to check.
Netizens are very divided on this matter and some of them said that the parents are at fault as the gates are open and there doesn’t seem to be anyone supervising him. Netizens also mentioned that the driver is not to be blamed as the bike and the kid are very low, which means the kid was in a blind spot.
