Anant is Back With His Parents!

Thank God! We are very happy that Anant is back home. We have been praying for the boy and his family. As parents ourselves we could understand the anguish of the little boy's parents.

The police have done a good job.

The media's role & intentions however are suspect. Would they have shared the blame if harm had come to the child? In their hunger for news, any news, they ignore the possibility of the media glare scaring the kidnappers into doing the child harm. And what of the child himself? Should he be paraded before the cameras after what he has just gone through?

Back off guys. Take a deep breath and ask yourself if what you are doing is the right thing to do. This is about the life of a small child. Your greed for revenue might have caused him harm.

The media is free in this nation. But that freedom comes with responsibility. If you cannot or will not be responsible then you do not deserve your freedom.

Live long and prosper Anant. Our blessings are with you.
