2008/8/6 Goanet News Service <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 1: Utt Goenkara, a local privately-funded organisation, has lodged a petition with the district court, saying Scarlett Keeling died BECAUSE her mother had left her alone in Goa -- an area with a reputation for widespread drug abuse.
2: The girl's mother, Fiona MacKeown, was travelling elsewhere in India when police believe two men gave Keeling a cocktail of illegal drugs before one of them repeatedly raped her and left her for dead in February. 3: Utt Goenkara said MacKeown had failed in her duties as a parent. 4: "The Central Bureau of Investigations, which is now probing the girl's rape-and-murder, should also charge the British mother with wilful neglect," Aires Rodrigues, a lawyer for Utt Goenkara, said in Panaji, Goa's capital. == jc jusht only asking questions - because he does not know nothing: 1: Is this the most pressing Goa-related problem that 'Utt Goenkara' found, in its effort to attract the court's attention? 2: If Scarlett Keeling died BECAUSE her mother had left her alone in Goa, Is that a NEW 'cause of death' which should have appeared on her death certificate? 3: Is Goa - really an area with a reputation for widespread drug abuse? 4: If it really isn't so - Is it possible that Utt Goenkara could be held to be negligently but wilfully making a misrepresentation of the facts of Goa? 5: If this alleged misrepresentation pans out to be a misrepresentation, and Goan businesses suffer financial losses as a result, should the offending party be held liable for damages? 6: Should every parent (male or female) who neglects to look after or otherwise deserts his/her child (wherever), be charged with "wilful neglect"? jc As Velim based Kon-Fucius often sez: " He who fogett - should not fogget to rememba"
