Chinese Girl, 3, Smokes Cigarettes and Drinks Beer After Terrible Traffic Accident

"Ya Wen's family lives in a shelter"


Why am I not surprised?

Ive read some of the post on this little girl and sorry to say that a brain injury is something that we we will never understand sorry to say,
I have TBI Tramatic Brain injury, at the age of 20,
before the accident i was an easy going person I never drank or broke the law in any way, but after this accident, i was a changed person. and for the worst may i add,
bad tempered drank day and night, and as for moods well up and down usually angry person, done things I though i would never do but i did it any way, ended up in jail many times not knowing what i have done.

Yrs later i again was hit in the head and again changes begain. I put down the bottle and never craved it again, and was a very passionate person 1 could say back to my old self
but i very much contain myself, and be aware of what could come back to life if i let it, or have another head trama.

I very feel much for the little chinese girl she will have a life of hell to pay because of a hit in the head, please dont blame the parents for her actions because they have no control over it any more than she does now,
please dont judge until youve been there or done research on tramatic brain injury and the personallity changes or chriminal behavior of it

Hey, we all get to make choices in life.
If that is what she wants to do, you have no say in the matter.
It is her body and her 'CHOICE'. Other people have no right to
make choices for her.

John, it is her body, but... she is a toddler. No, it is her parents that have the say of what she can do with her body, not the "toddler". Have you ever heard of the word dicipline? The parents should not have these items available to her. How in the world could a child be left alone in a store and allowed to charge these items at her age. The parents should be accountable. The store owner should be ashamed to let a child charge anything, much less adult items. Sure you don't want to start her on birth control?

THIS IS TRAGIC, HORRIBLE, DISPICABLE.
ITS NOT RIGHT, THE PARENTS SHOULD BE DOING SOMETHING!

You all just don't get it... it's a PAST LIFE thing. When people have a near death experience, they often 'see the light' and go through the tunnel to the Spirit World, Heaven, Coaybey - whatever you want to call it. They will revisit who they truly are... who their soul has been in the past. If more people understood the reality of past lives, they would know that this explains so much... ie, children's 'imaginary friends', the prodigal children who play piano, recite speeches, have knowledge beyond their (this life) experience, etc.

This is a reply to John: What a stupid comment! This is a three-year-old girl, not an adult! Children of that age have practically no concept of repercussions of their actions. Parents are supposed to guide their children in making good choices in life, not stand idly by and watch them destroy themselves!

That pic of her smoking is so odd to see! In America she would be taken away from her mom and her mom would be hanging from a tree. I don't think they use diapers over there either so when she starts pouring beer down her throat the fun really begins : (

Has anyone considered soul transference? It is hard to accept I know, however when one is near death or in a coma a soul that is a drift so to speak can enter the mind of another. It is much more likely to happen to a child because there minds have no substantial build up of road blocks in the brain due to aging and wear and tear due to age. This girl can now have the soul of an aged woman or man that used to smoke and drink. I have seen it happen. Rather or not people are ready to accept this the proof is in the little girl and how she is no longer a child but now someone who wishes to live again in her body.

Could it be that they are worried about daily survival? You obviously have no idea what life is like in a thrid world country for the very poor. Suggest that you climb off your high horse and try to figure it out and better still understand that the story is not so simple as a spoiled kid that the parents are allowing to drink and smoke. There is much more to the story then the few paragraphs here. Did you not read about accident, coma and change in personality and behavior??

Isn't the issue in this story one of changed personality after a traumatic accident?? Is it transmigration, a brain dysfunction, disassociated personality? The question here ISN'T about the child being ALLOWED (her paretns are shocked too and obviously her father did something in an effort to stop the behavior) the issue is WHAT IS CAUSING IT???? 3 year olds rarely have a tolerance for such things much less desire...

She has choices? She's 3 yrs old! Sure, she can "choose" an outfit, but if she "chooses" to smoke and drink you just sit back and let her because it's her choice???????? Are you crazy??????? Again, she's 3 yrs old!!!!!!!!!!!! Personality change? So what! The answer is NO, you cannot smoke and you cannot drink! It's called PARENTING!!!!!!!!

I can't believe how stupid some of you people are. TBI is a serious issue that can cause drastic changes in personality. Its amazing to me how people still refuse to become informed when it just a click away.

You are absolutely right. No matter what culture we are taking about.

I think the other key word here is the accident - seems to me she might have had a brain injury which is causing her to mimick an adult at such a young age. I saw her on the news last night. She acts like a 30 yr old in a 3 yr olds body! This was not your typical monkey-see, monkey-do mimicking. I believe she has other medical problems contributing to this as well.

I TOTALLY AGREE. THIS CHILD WOULD NEVER MISS SOMETHING SHE NEVER HAD. I DO NOT BELIEVE HER "PERSONALITY" CHANGE. HOW DOES A 3 YEAR OLD KNOW HOW TO LIGHT A CIGARETTE? WHO IS THE PARENT/ADULT HERE. JUST SOUNDS LIKE LAZINESS TO ME. IT IS EASIER TO GIVE IN TO HER THAN DISCIPLINE HER. IT IS CHILD ABUSE!!!

Don't blame the accident on your child'sbehavior.

You are absolutely right Carlene. I think she needs someone else to raise her. Where are her grandparents?
