Authorities remiss in case of “toyol” boy


I READ your report, “Two-year-old ‘toyol’ an abandoned boy” (The Star, June 29) with shock and dismay.

It is deeply disturbing to learn that there were people who chose to avoid approaching the child due to superstitious beliefs in this day and age when logical sense should prevail.
