Look at the bigger picture.
Esther's move to sue her parents in an example of interfamilial lawsuit, and even in the West where such cases have slightly more frequency, these are difficult psycho-legal cases. Nonetheless, the sad and common denominator about all is that they divide the family, including even the parents themselves, sometimes permanently/ irreversibly. In fact some pips view inter-spousal/ inter-family lawsuits as a way of permanently destroying a family, only that it is done kidogo kidogo & is thus slower than outright suicide. But the end game is the same - a family is destroyed.
Yet Esther's is not the first!Children suing parent(s) has many precedents, notable one being the Gerishon Kirima family patriarch who was sued by his own son, Wanjau Kirima, for management of a multi-bilion estate. Many children sue their parents e.g. for neglect at the Nbi Children's Courts & others but Esther's acquired a hue of diabolic evil because of the huge settlement she sought. Plus the grounds on which her case rested were as slippery as the date when names on Ocampo's envelope will be made public.
Kudos therefore for the judge to throw the case out rather than engage the Arunga family in a protracted lawsuit whose costs - financial, emotional, etc - that would have in the end been borne by the same family.
Plus even parents are knowm to sue their kids!
Do we need a kind of parent-child immunity in our legal system, (except for neglect/ maintenance cases of course) noting that such litigation often divides and destroys the family for good? Because there's no telling how far things can go even with the existing laws - like you being accused of child labour when you send your kid to bring your shoes from your bedroom! Or child abuse if you whack your disobedient lad...
To attempt to take your folks to the cleaners, much less demand such a colossal amt, is criminally and unforgivably insane. She's lucky this is Kenya, in the deep Asian territories such as Pakistan,her own bro or dad would have been 'duty-bound' to kill her in an act of honour kiling in order to maintain the family's honour...
