What does it mean for a parent to have an expired but previousky active life insurance plan on a child's life - Lemmy.World

I’ll just ask: is it in the realm of possibillity that a cruel parent takes out a plan on the kid in the hopes they can make the kid so miserable and terified that if the live they get child support but if the kid kills themself they get a pile of money for the trouble? I need to know what it could mean. This is Canada. Thank you, its ok im out now but in my personal work, this tidbit has surfaced. Be gentle please

Sometimes people get life insurance on their kids just in case their kid dies. It's usually pretty cheap (like less than $100 a year) and would pay for the funeral expenses (which is about $8000 these days).
This is the answer.
