What punishment should be given to children ???

None as maybe they can't take care of them. Or do you mean the ones that hurt there parents? As my one grandmother was in one as she got mean and tried to hurt my aunt who was caring for her. and My aunt also got sick trying to keep up with the grandma. She went to anice place and there she hit people as well. They had to send her to a different one. With people that knew how to handle people like her. She liked it there as she put it better then living with that witch. No punishment. As whom would take care of us taking care of them?

Punishment? Why? You may be helping them if you put them in a facility. Our family went thru this recently with our 81 year old mother and we all thought it would be best if there were professionals taking care of her. Well, it appears that we found a place so we put her there and you know what? She seems to like it there. I look at this way, if you're loved one likes it then that a good thing. Although, there may be other cultures that frown upon this. With our situation, we did the best we could.

I don't think there should be a punishment. A lot of times, the elderly parents do much better in a nursing home. They gat the care they need, their medications are given as prescribed and on a set schedule, they are fed regular, healthy meals, they are encouraged to be socially active in the nursing home community, they recieve any rehabilitation that they need to remain as active as they can, and if something happens to them, there is a nurse right there to take care of them. I have seen instances where the elderly parent was not placed in a nursing home, and as a result, their health rapidly declined, they were not properly cared for or encouraged to do anything. They withered away and the quality of life was greatly diminished. If an adult child does not feel that they can properly care for the parent, or if they put the parent in the situation where they attempt to care for them, but not in a safew and healthy environment, the parent needs to be in ap lace where the care and quality of life are there for them.

I don't think that the children need to be punished, because sometimes a nursing home is the best solution. Sometimes the parents are ill and the children are not able to take care of them even if they wanted to. In a nursing home the parents can get professional help, and therefore a nursing home is often a good solution. I don't know if my parents are going to live in a nursing home when they get old, but I would never just "put" them somewhere, I would look carefully at the different possibilites and make sure that they got the best place. In my country it is not customary to live with your parents when they get old, and the idea of finding a nursing home for them, is not a sign that I don't love them or that I just want to get rid of my responsibility. On the contrary I love them very much and it is very important to me to find the very best place and the place where they can get the best care.

Why would they be punished? Some people do put them in a home because they can not take care of them. Some because they choose not to take care of them. And others have no choice. My grandfather had many medical problems and had to be put on all sorts of different machines for his health so he had to be in one. My grandmother didn't have to be in one but when we split them up and she lived with family then she had so many difficulties because she had to be with my grandfather so she wanted to be in the home with him. It all depends on the circumstances.

I responded to a similar question but I wanted to give my opinion. i think that it shouldn't be any of any body's business as to whether or not they put there parents in an old person's home. I think this person is trying to do what's best for the situation and some times what is best for the situation is by being a person to put him or her in a nursing home. sometimes they can be better taken care of if they are. People have lives and there mothers or fathers or brothers or sisters who were meant to take care of them when they got old has to make tough decisions about them and there lives as well. alot of people just dont have the guts to take care of a person like that in need of constant care all day. It's hard to do that. Even just for a few hours and then try to live your life outside of theres with out involving them in it.

no punishment. If the kids put their parents in a home then most times it is because it is the best thing for them. If the kids are unable to care for them and if they are unable to care for themselves then it is the best thing. If the parents were perfectly capable and mentally sound then I can't imagine the kids would even be able to do this against the parents will.

I think, recently an Act has been made in the Parliament that children who leave their parents in desparate, can be imprisoned. I partially agree with that. Children leaving their parents is really bad. But isn't it the parents' duty to teach the social responsibilities? Only those who fail to bring up their children properly, suffer. (There may be exceptions, but this statement fits for 90% people, I think) However, after attaining certain level of maturity, the children themselves have to understand the social responsibilities. Failure on that, deserves to be punished, I think. Particularly, when it affects others badly.
