The headline can be interpreted as a "Child monk", I though so at first
Then it says the child was a girl,
Finally it says the child was a boy?

WTF how do these things miss the Editors eyes, is he/she doing the job properly? Just irresponsible like the article by an impostor of B.Raman (which was a blog post of a LTTE supporter, not from a reliable source) making news on the Island paper of the 25th Oct. Talk about "responsible" journalism and media freedom...! These fellows need a good "Ass Whopping"!
