It’s, only JUST, don’t you think, that these children are, NOT responsible for providing the money for their DEADBEAT father to live of? From the Front Page Sections, translated…
Hsu, an elderly man, who was married twice, with eight children, became demented in his elderly years, and lived alone, five years ago, he was placed, and the Miaoli County government called up his children to have them pay the million dollars’ worth of placement charges for their father, the six children testified, that they were all beaten up by their father, had their heads, RAMMED into the walls by him, were fed soy sauce with rice, that their father NEVER taken up the responsibilities for providing for them when they were younger, and asked the courts to alleviate them from taking care of their father as he’s now, older, the Miaoli District Courts mandated that they didn’t need to take the responsibilities for caring for their father.
The seventy-six year-old elderly, Hsu worked as a house painter, he’d admitted to his gambling habits, and that he’d not returned home as he gambled, and that when the household was out of money, he had, gotten in fights with his wife, or beaten her up, but, he’d forgotten if he’d, taken money back home to raise the children or not.
The Social Services Department pointed out, that the placement fees for Hsu is about $21,000N.T. per month, last month, as the courts mandated that his six children didn’t need to pay the money, but before this, the charges still needed to get paid up by his eight children, and the placement fees, were paid for by the two children who’d not made the claims of neglect of their father during their younger years.
The Social Services received a call on how Hsu wasn’t able to care for himself in December of 2013, and as Hsu had agreed, they’d, placed him in a nursing home; Hsu was demented, and registered as a handicap person, the Social Services Department notified his eight children to pay for the fees, six of them refused, and filed a claim with the courts.
Five children from Hsu’s first marriage accused, that their father would often spent every dollar he had before he came back home, and, would get violent with them, and that they were, hung up on the walls, and beaten, they lived in poverty, and had only rice with soy sauce, and as the soy sauce dripped outside their bowls, they’d, received a beating too; they were only ages four through twelve as their parents divorced, and their father never visited after their parents were, divorced, only one of the five children graduated high school, the other four had, dropped out after elementary school, they’d claimed that their father never taken the responsibilities of raising them, that they shouldn’t, be responsible for providing for his care now.
Hsu’s ex-wife testified, that he took the gambling, didn’t take any money home, and had three children with another woman he had, and then, divorced her, and before they were divorced, he’d, moved in with the other woman, and whenever he’d come home, he’d, gotten verbally and physically abusive toward their children, had hung them by their feet and beaten them with a tool, and made her kid eat rice with soy sauce, and, if the kids used a bit more soy sauce, he’d, beaten them too.
The three children from Hsu’s second marriage, a son claimed, that his father had, gambled away all his money, and, returned home to argue with their mother, that the debts he’d accumulated had, taken the household down, that they’d, relied on their mother’s measly wages and borrowed money to live off of, and, as they couldn’t make the rent payments, they were, chased from their residences, they’d moved around when they were still in school, his mother was too busy at work, couldn’t discipline them, causing his older brother and younger sister to get arrested repeatedly.
The judge believed that Hsu didn’t care for the six children whom he wanted the alimony from, and now, if the children were made to pay for his living, it would be, unjust and unfair, so, the judge waived their responsibilities to pay for their elderly father’s care.
And so, this still just showed, that IF you, god DAMN parents abused or neglected us, or that you’d not, cared for us, provided for us growing up, then, we all have the rights, to NOT take care of you when you’re elderly, and, this is a case that’s won, by ALL the children who’d fought the father’s claims that they needed to pay for his care in his elderly years.
