Call it, the cost, of being estranged from your loved one if you will, from the Front Page Sections, translated…
The twenty-four year-old, Guan, as he was placed in a juvenile home four years ago, because he threw the ball too hard, and another youth, Chang insulted him by calling him an idiot, he got angry, threw a mop, and the basketball toward Chang then, after he’d pushed Chang down, he’d bashed his head against the floor, Chang died on the way to the hospital; Guan was given a prison sentence of three years ten months, and the courts mandated that he pay Chang’s father $2.73 million dollars N.T., and subtracting the amount that Chang’s father received from the victims’ fund, Guan needed to pay another $950,000N.T.s
Chang’s father originally sued and asked for $4.43 million N.T.s, out of which two million dollars would be for the emotional distress, but the High Courts believed, that as Chang was growing up, he was under the care of close relatives, and after he was taken into the juvenile home, Chang’s father never paid the fees, and that the father and son were, estranged, and so, the judge only allowed for $900,000N.T. in the emotional damages.
So, this father could’ve gotten more, for his own son’s death, but because he was estranged from the son, that, was why the judge allowed him so much less, and this still shows??? Oh yeah, how CHEAP a human life is getting these days!
And the point of THIS story is??? Parents, CONNECT to your children now, because you NEVER know, when that already lost connection would come in handy, when you need to make a few extra bucks………
