Blind Parents Help Split By New Law Opinion
Assistant Attorney General Miller states that blind parents with capable children cannot receive aid from blind commissions under the new law. He cites a Caldwell case where James Hancher, aged 75 and blind, needed a $12 weekly allowance from his son H F Hancher, who argued poverty. The law makes a financially able child legally bound to support a destitute parent. In a separate note, Miller adds county commissioners may set their own share of compensation for city constables prosecuting police court cases.
