Oh we just have to "trust him" on that. No proving for him, the proofs are for mere mortals like us. He knows when he does not know. He is cocksure even though he is not sure.🤣
Right now he is saying that filing the report was ok. Well he could have fooled us because that has been one of his pet peeves against devyani😆

She did a lot. Which particular action of hers are you referring to?

She approaching the NYPD seeking to file a Missing Persons report, in itself is not inappropriate. The witch-hunt that followed is.



You did fault her with reporting Sangeeta in your past posts.

Please quote those posts of mine in reply to your statement that "I did fault her with reporting Sangeeta" so we can all see how right you are.

Since you concurred with her, why don't you help her find my "pet-peeves"?

That is, unless you are busy embellishing your resume.

I take pride in my moral compass but am open to "adjusting my magnetized needle", so to say. Please be aware that at this point we are only talking about the morality aspect of the issue and nothing else.

What was not palatable to me was the way Devyani and Co., made Richard sign two different contracts, attributed larceny to Richard, insinuated that she was absconding and tried to gag the Richards with the help of Indian courts who imperially "ordered" Sangeeta back to India by arbitrarily cancelling her Visa. If anything, it should be the Americans who should have a problem if a temporary alien is trying to settle down, not the Indians. Whatever Devyani, her father and their cronies at high places did was highly vindictive and despicable. And, of course, it doesn't help Devyani's image that she was an illegal beneficiary in the Adarsh housing society. And it doesn't help her image that she and dad greased a couple of palms to get her to where is today.

I think I picked the right position to argue for and against in this debate. Morally as well as legally, Devyani is in the wrong.

P.S: That dad character pi$$es me off to no end.




There.

What is appropriate or not is not a fact but an opinion, right?

Whatever made you deduce that "filing a missing person report is not inappropriate" is the same as "accusing Sangeeta as absconding is not inappropriate"?

Absconding = To leave quickly and secretly and hide oneself, often to avoid arrest or prosecution.

Missing = Not present, absent, Lost.

Depends on the context.

Violence and sex are inappropriate for children to watch is an opinion that could be backed by factual data to lend support to that opinion.

The fact is that it wouldn't change the opinion to a fact.

😆 Filing a missing report itself was quite difficult from what I read. It seems a missing report can only be filed by a family member. Sounds quite absurd to me! What if there is no family member or the family members are not aware that a person is missing but someone else who does not have access to the family is aware? No missing report gets filed!?
The family members had to be contacted in India to get that report filed in the US! The family members themselves were quite reluctant to do that suggesting that they either knew where Sangeeta was or were not worried about about her being missing.
Secondly when an employee quits is it "appropriate" to do so without a word about it to the employer?
Do only employees have rights? What about the employer's right to expect uninterrupted services that were agreed upon?
Were any negotiations held to sort out any differences or is it "appropriate" to simply disappear one fine day?
From what I know of the placement agencies in India one needs to give a month's notice before quitting or before dismissing or forfeit the pay equivalent to that period. Some exceptions are made under unavoidable circumstances. That looks like a more appropriate arrangement to me as both parties get the time to make alternative arrangements.
