Children not mother's keeper, judge rules
Posted by

This is a really interesting story from the point of view of elder law. An elderly woman was hit by a car. In order to try to share the blame for the damages, an argument was brought forth that the woman's adult children should have been responsible for supervising her, the way a parent supervises a small child. This woman was living completely independently. The judge threw out that argument, though the trial goes on with other matters. Click here to read more about this, from the Toronto Star.
