Finding our humanity when a parent is found to be negligent

TRAGEDY can happen to the best of us. And as parents, we can only pray that we would be able to go through our day with our children steering clear of harm, ensuring that they have the space to grow and thrive. But the arch of the law stands alone, administering its weight when tragedy strikes. But we need to stand with our hurting humanity.

Tragedy struck when a headmistress in Sungai Petani lost her three-year-old student Muhammad Harraz Aryan in a freak mishap. Already heaped with the burden of managing her school, somehow duty overcame her mind and upon realising that the boy was left in the car under the hot sun, it was the beginning of inconsolable sorrow.
