    security and welfare are the primary responsibilities of govt towards its citizens. when a govt fails to perform its duties, then it becomes imperative for the electorates to change such govt through their voting power in the coming election. it's your choice. the ball is in your court. vote for change in 2015.

    Hope this news won't impede on the man's life since they warned the wife not to involve the police.
    This post should come up after successful release from the Kidnappers.
    Just hope they don't read lib.

      Exactly!! This was bad judgement. You said they said not to involve the police or risk loosing him and you write about it, stating that the police is investigating it. Hmmmn
