I don't think so! Parents always think in best interest of thier children yes extreme cases or exceptions are there but we need to equally value thier thought process.

I totally agree with you here 😊

However it is not necessary that the what they think would be the best interest of their child in reality.

But I totally agree with Maya here whatever true lover says 😆 do consider your parents if you are really very very very ....strong then go ahead otherwise almost every one need basic family structure specially in our culture. and even we are living here we still long for our values and would like our children to follow them 😊

Three people were sent to hospital after being struck by a minivan in alleged family dispute

A Scarborough father who was dancing and grinning when arrested by police faces three counts of attempted murder after three young people, one his 16-year-old daughter, were struck by a minivan near an east-end high school.

Police described the incident as relating to a family dispute. Police said the 43-year-old father, who was not identified to protect his daughter's identity, disapproved of the girl's 18-year-old boyfriend.

CBC news reported that the boyfriend is Pream Anandarajah, whose family's home was firebombed in April in a feud among young people of Sri Lankan descent. Anandarajah is a Grade 12 student at Stephen Leacock Collegiate Institute, where the incident occurred. CBC quoted Anandarajah's uncle as saying the young man's leg may have been broken.

The three young people were taken to two separate hospitals with serious injuries, but Det. Don Pyke said the injuries were non-life-threatening.

The identity and relationship of the third victim, a 21-year-old, was unknown. The officer said the daughter was heavily sedated at the Hospital for Sick Children when he tried to interview her.

Shortly after 1 p.m. yesterday, police and paramedics were called to an accident outside Stephen Leacock school near Birchmount Rd. and Bay Mills Blvd. When they arrived, a teal Toyota Sienna minivan had been driven into a wired fence and a tree beside a town home and adjacent to Ron Watson Park.

The woman living in the town home, who declined to give her name, said she heard a loud bang outside but didn't see the collision.

In the minivan's path, sneakers and clothing, including a referee's jersey, were strewn across the grass where the three young people were sitting among a group of friends. A silver BMW with a backseat door open remained behind police tape near the minivan as traffic officers investigated the scene.

"(The minivan) doesn't look like it was going at excessive speed, probably within the area of 25-30 km-h," said Sgt. James Cassells.

Pyke said the two young men ran across the street after the collision and fell outside the shop classroom at Leacock.

Chuck Hay, superintendent of education for the Toronto District School Board, said the daughter and the boyfriend struck by the minivan were Leacock students.

Officers were initially unsure about the nature of the incident. A19-year-old woman who identified herself as the daughter of the minivan's driver said that it stemmed from an alleged kidnapping three days ago.

Pyke said he was unaware of this claim and that the investigation was not looking into that angle at the time.

Residents living in the Scarborough townhouse complex where the family lived told an officer that they didn't know the family. No one answered at the family's residence.

The father is scheduled to appear at Old City Hall court this morning.

Not the first and certainly won't be the last.... A couple of years ago, a sikh girl in (I think it was) British Columbia, Canada was murdered in cold blood by her own father who disapproved of her relationship. She was 21 if I remember correctly.

Sorry but couldn't resist - sounds more like being rebellious attitude to me.

Parents are NOT reasonable in assisting/guiding children on the most important decision of life, is that what we are trying to say here?

I don't think so! Parents always think in best interest of thier children yes extreme cases or exceptions are there but we need to equally value thier thought process.

well there are certain times when parents can definitely be unreasonable. i have been witness to this type of behavious by parents numereous times during a friends and even a cousin's wedding.

parents always think for the best interests of the child it is true, but hidden beneath that interest is also the parent's best interest. if a child marries someone of another caste or religion then it will be the parent's reputation that gets tarnished in their society. in order to protect this image of theirs parents sometimes refuse perfectly well matches for their children.

a cousin of mine married someone from another religion and to this date her parents have not talked to her properly. she is happily married with two kids and her husband treats her like a queen. but this is not enough for my uncle and aunt, they can't see behind the fact that he's of a different religion and therefore have basically cut all ties with her.

I consider parents human and believe that they make mistakes too just like their children. Basically since all of us are human, our thought process differs😊. It is good to know that your cousin is leading a happy life and by selfless parents definition your uncle-aunty should be happy for her. But they aren't and I won't blame them. Because they have some set norms in their mind which they think are correct and don't want to change. Your cousin anyways went ahead without their permission so why is it necessary for her to get their approval now? Let them be. They will come around when they want to.

I know you didn't want my opinion on this and just posted a personal thing so hope you don't take offense.
