Who is responsible?

Who is responsible for the untimely and tragic death of Nandini,a 4 year old girl for whom it was just another playful day at school?
  1. Is it the teacher/s who slipped in their responsibility?
  2. Is it the DAV School authorities who seem to have misled the parents?
  3. Is it the Chennai City which is delinquent in putting proper safety measures around the unused shallow pond?
Regardless, a young kid's life has been lost and the various stake holders are blaming each other. What is troubling me is the fact that, there will no consequence and various parties move on, but for the parents who lost their dear one, it is life long agony.

    Heights of sadness. Until there is accountability, these kinds of negligence and avoidable accidents are prone to happen...

    Okay even after reading that news item I have no idea what happened. All I know now is that 4yr old Nandini of DAV died. Based on what you have written and some pieces in the news article I assume that she drowned in some pond.

    But this shoddy all round including reporting.

    I strongly believe the school is totally accountable for this tragic death. May be due to the fact that the school is a high profile school, they can try and put the blame back on the parents. In any case, whoever was supposed to take care of the child was careless & that is the only reason this has happened. Knowing the behaviour of children, the school / who ever was supervising the children, should have paid more attention. Hence the school / staff who behaved irresponsibly should pay the price.

    I hear that the school and teachers have been absolved and some poor Ayah who went along on the trip is the only one being held accountable by the authorities...
