We are in total agreement . The whole fiasco was wrong and could have been handled just as you suggested .
As far as I am concerned , even my own son or daughter will be responsible for their personal actions . My reputation cannot be tarnisshed because my child did something contrary to my teachinggs. It is his or her fault and he/she sould be resonsible for their mistakes and take blame accordingly .
The wrong time and place for the minister or his wife or Nam to do what they did that night
I hope they will rectify this mistakke and issue an apology to the public and proceed with their private lives privately as it should have been in the first palce
best regards
