Such Children must be Punished
by Pratima Prabhu on Mar 09, 2007 01:33 PM

Many said that law and police intervention will not help. Actually, these old grannies must be counseled to file a case against their children. Organizations like Vishranthi must take initiatives on such issues. Though old mothers and fathers need not go back to their children to live, the law will atleast force the children to pay the organization that takes care of them. Then "Adopt a Granny" concept will not exist as the children would be mandated to pay the expenses of their parents. Old people are very emotional and they say they dont want to file a case against their children. But, how do you get the children to their senses. The old people in destitute homes must be encouraged to file cases against their children.
