On very rare occasions a foreign diplomat comments about issues that negatively affect his/her host country.British High Commissioner Arthur Snell stepped out of his crease last week and batted public officials who apparently did nothing to prevent the macabre killings of two young children (ages 9 and 14).Mr Snell's message was simple: if society knew that these children were living lives that were running contrary to the laws of the land, what did we, as protectors and guardians of children, do about this?
To date, I have not read any rebuff of the ambassador's cryptic statement.
