You would think a lawyer would have some standards

In recent years I had to testify in a case that involved a sexual assault of a juvenile. The child was less than 6 years old when he was violated. I was speaking with the prosecutor afterwards (and yes he was convicted and sentenced to life) and told him "I almost felt some sympathy for the devil himself. Not the turd, his lawyer. You have to defend that!"

Lawyers sometimes have to defend the worse in our society and a defendant has the right to a competent defense. Lawyers for civil litigation on the other hand can decline to take a case. And I would expect that in this case.

To whomever took this case you're doing your profession no credit.

B.C. man sued by mother for parental support - British Columbia - CBC News

'I haven't talked to her in years and years and years'

Ken Anderson, 47, has been fighting a lawsuit by his mother, Shirley Anderson, 73, since 2000.

Shirley, who has not had a relationship with Ken or his two siblings for decades, is asking for $750 per month in support from each of them.

A rarely used section of B.C.'s Family Relations Act says adult children are responsible for legally supporting parents who are "dependent on a child because of age, illness, infirmity or economic circumstances."

The B.C. Law Institute recommended repealing the section in a 2007 report.

"I don't know how anybody could go after their kids," Anderson said in an interview with CBC News. "First of all the law is brutal that they can allow this to happen. Hopefully they'll change the law."

Case asked to be thrown out

Anderson said he was left behind at 15 when his parents and younger brother moved from Osoyoos to the Kootenays. The teen lived with other families and quit school to find work.

"We don't have a relationship. I haven't talked to her in years and years and years," he said. "She's just out to make our life miserable."

"I had to make my own way in life and now she's coming back for ... a free living from us kids," said Anderson. The married truck driver lives north of Osoyoos with two teenage sons...

Hopefully the judge dismisses this quick. I personally think children should support their parents in their declining years but this woman is no parent. She's a breeder. Sorry woman but parents raise children, are there for them in the good times and bad and I cannot see a mother abandoning the children they have born. You are no mother but a leech. I pray these people are rid of you quick. They have families to take care of and and excellent example of how not to handle children.
