there is quite a bit of thrashing of young sons and daughters. However, I wish to mention here one incident which has a different story.
Parents of a colleague of my son came to USA to stay with their son who has a 6 yr old son. Both son and DIL were working; so, after school, the grandson stayed in the home with his grandparents. One day, something happened resulting scolding and slapping the grandson by the grandpa. Little later cops came, questioned the grandpa and took him to the Police Station. On seeing her husband being taken by the cops, the grandma questioned her grandson who kept quiet. worried the grandma phoned her son who along with his wife came running to home. when the couple questioned their son closely, the young one told them that as the school taught as to how handle such situation by phoning 911, he did. The couple went to the Police Station and somehow, they got the old man released and brought him to the house. The next day, the young man went to his office and told his boss he do not want to stay in a place where his own parents are comfortable and resigned. The boss explained and cajoled him but he didnt carry. Ultimately it was agreed that he will work in their Indian Office. It took almost threemonths to clear all formalities and one day they all landed in India. Once they are out of airport, the father gave quite a bit of thrash and asked his son to call police now. So, there are good persons who wish to take care of their parents.
