College Broadcast Student’s Media Project Focuses on Filial Laws

Christopher Robb is in his final year at Westminster College in Pennsylvania and for his senior Media project he tackled “filial laws.”  His impressive work included researching the history of such laws and studying recent court cases in Pennsylvania.  He interviewed and filmed a host of individuals from across the state who have experience with recent trends in use of filial support laws by nursing homes to seek payment from adult children for bills not satisfied by the resident’s resources, insurance or Medicaid.  Chris Robb’s resulting 15 minute video is titled, “Am I My Mother’s Keeper?”  Thank you for sharing it with the Elder Law Prof Blog!
