The opinion
Brown, J.
(concurring). I am in full agreement with the majority opinion and add these remarks only to augment the views expressed therein. If the Commonwealth’s position were to be adopted by this court, not only would it be inconsistent with the statutory scheme, but it would create a perverse result because, instead of strengthening the familial relationships, it would tend to drive certain family members apart — a phenomenon which our present society can ill afford to foster.
