Today I woke up with the news of a judge in Gijón sentenced the grandparents of a minor to pay a pension of 250 euros per month. The news seems the typical sentence of divorced parents, except that this time it is not the parents but the grandparents.
I am that for many laps that I give him I cannot understand him, Why does a judge have to force grandparents to help support his grandson?
The news does not talk about the sentimental situation between the grandparents and their granddaughter or her parents, all she says is that both parents are unemployed, that the mother receives a small pension and that her father has mental problems, but that situation As hard as it may be, it should not be a condition for them to be told, by court, to grandparents who are also responsible for their granddaughter along with their children.
Is it really necessary? I'm sorry, but I can't understand it. I see the situation in my house and others that I know and to move from the differences that may exist, I have no doubt that any of them would go hungry and cold before one of their grandchildren even disbanded.
I have seen cases in which grandparents have had to ask for a court order to be able to see their grandchildren or case of grandparents who have to do real pirouettes to be able to see their grandchildren for ten minutes and it seems to me inhuman to do that to someone, maybe it is So for many laps that I give you, I can't find a reason why you neglect your closest family.
Nor am I a supporter of those grandparents who are forcibly converted into parents again, I can understand when circumstances oblige, but there are cases in which speaking with sincerity seems to put too much nose in the matter. And yet, and knowing that there is some abuse by their children, you see that they do not complain and that there are the first at the foot of the canyon.
And unfortunately, looking for bibliography I have seen that it is not the only case.
Do you know more cases like that? Do you think it could happen to you?
