Children who hate their Parents are the primary reason for the increase in old age homes today. It is the duty of children to keep their parents with them in their old age. But the cruelty of taking an old mother in an auto and leaving her on the side of the road is happening.

You have to realize how much it will make you look bad in society. There should be more awareness about legal protection for the elderly; to cause
