Why do close relatives feel obliged to help the child and even take over as a parent if the parents pass away?
Alexisdesaintmichel
The position that all members of any category act in an identical way is a fallacious argument. Some parents, not just "close relatives", ignore and mistreat their own children. In many cases the close relatives do not want to take over the children but are shamed or forced into doing it by their community or other relatives. In many cases the civil courts feel the close relatives are no suitable to care for the children and require alternate care. In some cases, if the children come with an inheritance, they close relatives see them as only an econolic benefits which does not truly meet the "take over as a parent" criteria.
