The following excerpt is from Scott v. U.S., 884 F.2d 1280 (9th Cir. 1989):
The government argues that this court, in Early v. United States, 474 F.2d 756 (9th Cir.1973), rejected a common law claim by children under Alaska law for the loss of a parent's society. Therefore, the claim for damages by the parents for injury to the parent-child relationship in this case should be rejected.
