The role of parents is to ensure the wellbeing, safety, and support of their child in hopes that they can become stable, independent, and functional individuals in the near future.

In Jake’s case, the main issue is whether Pam’s actions constitute a trespass to land. Trespass to land requires the defendant to: directly, voluntarily, and intentionally interfere with the plaintiff’s land without the plaintiff’s consent. By entering the land to chase Sally, Pam satisfies the first three criteria, leaving only the last one, plaintiff’s consent, in contention. Despite not having explicit licence, Pam could argue she had an implied licence, as established by Halliday v…
