The drowning in an open manhole of a young child in Karachi is very tragic - he along with another brother was playing outside  marriage hall as his family and parents attended a wedding inside - both children fell in the manhole and one was rescued by passer-by 

The Karachi mayor has said that a system has been put in place where residents can report open manholes and they will have covers placed on them within 12-24 hours 

And while it is the primary responsibility of the government to ensure that they stay covered and those who steal the covers are caught and punished, why isn’t anyone talking about the parents of the children? 

They were attending a wedding so how come their children were playing outside the hall on the road? And if they were why were they unsupervised by an adult or older relative or cousin etc? Their ages were four and six years of age and a responsible parent would never leave children so young completely unattended or even out of sight at a busy wedding
