Paheli ( A Riddle)

This happened in an obscure, remote hamlet somewhere in Orissa, a couple of years back. A couple with three kids, farmers by lineage were forced to migrate to the steel city of Bhilai for better prospects. Following an illness to their eldest son, a five-year-old, they were forced to return to their village for cheaper treatment. As they sold/mortgaged their belongings and begged in desperation to cure their child, the head of the family is incapacitated by pneumonia and related illnesses owing to malnutrition and lack of proper treatment. The wife with her baby daughter tries hard to make ends meet besides trying to provide medicines for her ailing husband and son. Most days, they go hungry, with a bowl of fermented rice as a meal. In their state of utter hopelessness, a relative (who was childless) appears, who had often helped them financially, offers to write off their debt if they gave away their baby daughter. The parents reluctantly agree as they see it as the only way all of them can survive. The news spread like wild fire and days later the media, the government, the panchayat all fell upon each other to rebuke the couple and to 'rescue' the child. The parents were chided publicly for such inhuman and irresponsible behaviour and the baby restored back to the family.
After two years, a reporter from The Hindu revisited the now infamous hamlet to follow-up on the case. And he found out that the baby had contracted jaundice and died for want of treatment and proper food, a year after its rescue. The family still struggles as it battles out each day against poverty, unemployment and starvation.

Now here's your question:

Who would you blame and punish if you were given the power to judge :

a. The parents who were cruel enough to sell their child?
b. The relative who offered to 'buy' the child and take care of it as his own?
c. The doctors who squeezed the last ounce of money from this poor couple in the name of treatment thus rendering them penniless and compelling them to resort to such actions?
d. The heartless government for being callous and blind from seeing the actual need?
e. The media who blow up things out of proportion for their own gain and then leave the characters high and dry to grapple with their own now tattered lives?
f. Or is it you and me who read such articles with much interest and then forget all as we get on with our lives?
