or else!!! Laws enacted in the 1700s are being dusted off and used to force the children of the poor to support them through old age until death. There are record numbers of aged people in the Baby Boom Generation. Even if your parent(s) abandoned you in childhood you still have the legal responsibility to support them so says laws throughout Canada and many states in the US. Now ain't that a kick in the head?!

It’s not right,” one of her sons Ken, 47, told reporters
