    Got robbed at Walmart by someone who I think is my coworker but management says it isn't and implied my job is in jeopardy

    Posted: 30 Jan 2019 07:08 PM PST

    Posted this on /r/walmart and was suggested to put it here as well.

    Tried posting as a throwaway but guess it was too new, and wouldn't show up. This is a side account I randomly created years ago.

    I am an autistic special needs janitor at a wal mart in PA.
    The other day as I was going to my car (I was off) just buying some food. A coworker calls me by my name outside the front doors. He starts talking to me and walks to my car with me. He said he wants to ask me a question and opens my car and gets in.

    At this point he starts freaking out that he needs money and makes me give him all the money in my wallet, and then tried to get me to drive to a gas station to use my debit card. Now I am tiny, autistic, with bad motor skills from a head injury. He is the 2nd biggest person that works in the store. I would of been no match if he tried anything.

    In the car he demanded my phone number so he contact me later. He called the number I gave to make sure it was the correct number. Thus me at this point acquiring his number.

    The next day before work I receive 5 missed calls in a half hour from his number, telling me to meet him in private. I go file a report with the police and give them all the info, investigator said he would call the number I gave him to get him to stop harassing me as well.

    When I got to work I file a report with management with the same info and they promise they would investigate ASAP!

    Fast forward the investigator gets back to me and said a girl picked up the phone and he asked to speak my coworker and they said okay and put him on the phone. He responded to all the cops questions as the name I gave admitting he took the money but would give it back. The investigator also tells me no charges can be filed cause I handed the money over in fear and not it being snatched out of my own hands. I have been advised to appeal that to the state police btw.

    Management talked to me today and an assistant who is not AP said he did the investigation and determined it was not who I said it but someone who looked exactly almost 100% like the person who I accused. Who happened to know my name, and who happened to respond to my coworkers name. They wont show me the footage. Also they casually decided to inform me I got followed by a car he got in after he got out of my car.

    Now the manager is implying my job could be in jeopardy for wrongly accusing a person who even he said looked exactly like the person I said it was

    Heads up this situation has gotten out to the rest of the store (Not surprising)

    Any advice on this situation?

    [TX] Mom passed away intestate, issues with heirship involving child given up for adoption 50 years ago.

    Posted: 31 Jan 2019 11:09 AM PST

    I really never thought I'd have a need to post here, but I hang around this sub a whole lot and hope y'all can help me navigate this. I am gonna do my best to keep my emotions out of it, as they're legally irrelevant, but damn am I frustrated.

    So, here's the situation. My mother passed away in May of 2016 with no will. My father began the probate process a few months ago, as time was running short, and we've run into a roadblock that has us stumped.

    We had an ad litem lawyer assigned to us, and we were instructed that it was basically a formality to ensure that my dad was not hiding anything and our interests were protected. I had no problems with the personal, invasive questions he asked as I expected the conversation would be uncomfortable. I did what I know was right, as did my brother and father, and told the absolute truth as best I knew it. (Not gonna lie, had I known the law I may very well have just not mentioned this, but it is what it is.) The issue is - my mother had a child when she was 19 years old and she, along with the father, chose to give that child up for adoption. That was sometime in 1968/9 and all we know is what my mom told us, which was very little. (She was not one to share her personal shit, and this event in her life was particularly shameful for her. She didn't like to talk about it at all.)

    According to Texas law, this "child" has a right to inherit from her estate, despite the closed adoption, and we are now at a loss. I don't give two shits about inheriting anything from her estate, and we just assumed dad would get everything. I don't even care if this guy does get part of it. To be honest, I've been trying on and off for years to find him. That's not the issue.

    The issue is the lovely catch-22 we seem to be in now. After inquiring about the possibility of getting a court order to release the records from DePelchin (the "home" that handled the adoption) as both biological parents are now deceased and I, as only a sibling, have no standing to request the information - this is the response we received from our lawyer:

    I think that the only person with standing to request the adoption records, via a subpoena, would be the Administrator of your mother's Estate. We have asked the Court to appoint [my father] to be the Administrator; however, [my father's] appointment is being held up by the heirship issue.

    Am I taking crazy pills here?

    Yes, we are looking into hiring a private investigator, but short of that we have no idea what is going on and how to navigate it. Is there something we are missing?

    Our lawyer made it sound like it would be easy peasy, and he WAS aware of the adopted child before we were ever interviewed by the ad litem, so having this happen now is incredibly confusing and frustrating.

    Thanks for reading all of this and obligatory I'm posting on mobile so I hope to god it comes through coherently. Edited to remove excessive use of the word "this".

    I think my mom stole my identity when I was a kid.

    Posted: 31 Jan 2019 03:24 AM PST

    I (F20) am in massive debt. I found this out when trying to sign up for a credit card and realized I couldn't, called the union and talked to someone who said that charges have been made from 2002-2014 all teaching upwards of $15,000. I obviously didn't make these charges and the only person who I could suspect is my mother, who used to be tied up in some shady business and people. She has since cleaned up her act but refuses to admit that she may have done this. My older sibling has several credit cards and has told me he hasn't had issue with credit, ever. I guess the question is: how do I fix this? Will she face jail time if I end up reporting it? I just want a clean slate so I can start my life. I can't ever be a real adult without credit, it's the one thing holding me back right now.

    Edit: Location is TX.

    [FL] State college sent out an email to all disability students, but did it so everyone that got sent the email can see the full legal names and emails of all students that use disability services - What do I do?

    Posted: 31 Jan 2019 06:13 AM PST

    Backstory: I'm a 16-year old junior who started dual enrollment at 14. I have accommodations at my high school, which transferred over to the college which put me as part of the school's disability services section of students.

    What happened: back on 1/16, one of the heads of disability services sent out an email to all students that use disability services to complete a survey. Yesterday, he tried to stop that email. That's because he input the addresses in such a way that I, along with anyone else on that email, can see everyone's full legal names and email addresses. I believe that this is a privacy violation as far as I know. My question is, who and where to I tell/report this to?

    New Employer Expects you to arrive at 6am to load vehicles and prepare for the day, but you don't get paid until 7... but wait, there's more shady practices!

    Posted: 31 Jan 2019 04:49 AM PST

    So, as the title says, I recent got a new job, which is more of a blue-collar type role than what I'm used to by far. They are a sprinkler installation company, and pay by the hour... which seems fishy to begin with, since you're expected to do timesheets at the end of the week, not going through out the daily routine.

    I've only been there for about 4 days and took the job due to my finances running extremely low. It's about 35 miles out of my way in one direction, but its literally the first job offer that wanted me since my layoff... I have other interviews that look promising but took the first thing for some cash until I get better offers (they don't know this however)

    The job itself I don't mind, what I do mind is the fact of expecting to be working at 6am, and not getting paid until 7am. I was also informed of not being paid while being in the company trucks going to/from the shop when going to job sites, nor in the evenings when unloading the truck. I confirmed this by asking the owner if it were true, and they said yes, regardless, you only get compensated for the time spent on a jobsite, regardless of the work getting to/from and setup before/after of said job site.

    I have a hard time justifying working 10-12 hour days and only getting paid for 8hrs (minus a half hour lunch, regardless if you get to take one or not)

    I know how the break laws work, however, can they forcefully make me work for those hours without being compensated? This is in Maryland by the way if it helps any on what that particular state has in effect regarding the labor laws.

    I might also want to add, there is no time clock or official time keeping device, simply writing down on a piece of paper the hours spent. Which I've been including this time and that is how I got told by the part owner I'm not getting paid during that time frame, which applies to all the labor staff.

    This company is fairly new, and extremely small, with the two owners leaving a previous failed business in the same field that got in trouble due to state licenses and the failure to follow compliance.

    Even though I am literally broke as I write this, with bills looming and the threat of all the turmoils that go with it I don't really even have the funds to get back from work today if I go.I am most likely going to get fired as I already called off during my probation period anyway.

    Arizona neighbor cutting down trees

    Posted: 31 Jan 2019 09:52 AM PST

    I live on a golf course. There are some small equipment sheds and valves and such that are directly behind my home, on the golf courses' [GC] property. I can see them from my property but they don't block my overall view of the mountains and water features.

    Over the years GC has cultivated some trees and bushes to hide these structures from the view of the golfers, which have the added benefit of blocking the golfers view of my home and giving us considerable privacy. These trees and bushes block maybe 10% of my view but it's well worth it for the privacy. They also provide some shade in my yard.

    A couple of months ago a new neighbor moved in. They had different trees and bushes affording them privacy, but their view does not include any GC outbuildings so this is more landscaping than anything.

    The neighbor decided he didn't like the way the trees looked (palm trees) and so he cut them down. He asked if I wanted him to cut down the GC trees on my side and wanted me to pay him $2k to do so. I laughed internally and said no, not only are they not my trees but I like them.

    Last weekend the neighbor took it upon himself to cut down a tree on my side that was partially dead, as well as a perfectly healthy tree that not only blocked the GC outbuildings from golfer view but was the primary privacy tree for my home. Now we have gone to having almost 0% of our home visible from the hole to 95%. The neighbor confirmed that they did not ask permission from the golf course to do this.

    I'm going on the assumption that I have zero standing to do anything here? They aren't my trees of course so I would not be looking for value there. But is that loss of benefit/privacy good for anything?

    Noncustodial parent has sent email expressing intent to violate custody order before exchange has occurred (NC)

    Posted: 31 Jan 2019 06:39 AM PST

    We have a temporary custody order which has already "expired" and a court date in May to revise it based on current circumstances. I have a domestic violence protective order against the other parent but they are allowed to contact me via email about visitation exchanges only. They have already stated in an email that they intend to violate the order and not return our child to me once they have possession of the child this weekend. They are upset because they were reported for violating the DVPO and was arrested and now have to attend batterers intervention classes as a result. If I am aware of their intent to use our child as a weapon against me then am I obligated to still participate in the exchange?

    My friend’s company is fining their employees £1 if their lunch includes meat.

    Posted: 31 Jan 2019 03:23 AM PST

    I have a friend that works for a popular food writer's brand, and they have recently introduced a policy that if they bring in/buy lunch that includes meat, they get fined £1 and that money is donated to charity.

    That would count as a illegal deduction right? As far as I can tell it wasn't agreed on in the contract, and none of the employees agreed to it prior to it. I know it's not much, and it goes to charity, but it sounds like a real breach of someone's personal and employment rights. There's one actual vegetarian in the office, so it's affected most of them.

    My wife’s parents both passed away in a car accident. Her dad owned a business and she worked for it. She doesn’t know where to start.

    Posted: 31 Jan 2019 07:19 AM PST

    Edit: forgot to add the location. This is in Alabama.

    As the title says, it's been a real tough couple of days and while she is having a tough time she is being very strong and thinking about what needs to be done moving forward.

    Her dad owned a small business that she worked for as business manager. She has a lot to learn but for the most part she knows the ins and outs of the business. She wants to know: what does she even need to think about first with regards to this?

    What other things does she need to think about moving forward? I guess we're kind of looking for a list of things so we don't forget anything.

    Ex Boyfriend (33M) and I (27F) bought a house together (Pennsylvania) and have split up. What do I do?

    Posted: 31 Jan 2019 06:27 AM PST

    My ex boyfriend and I bought a house together in March of 2018 for 70,000. Both of our names are on the deed and the loan to the house. October 12th, I found drugs in my home and I immediately left with my two children and moved in with my parents. I dont know what I should do. I would like my name off of the house completely but i've invested so much of my own money towards the house for the down payment alone. What can I do? Do I just have to cut my losses or am I entitled to any money from this?

    Exes Mother threatening small claims court for volunteering to help paint my house?

    Posted: 31 Jan 2019 09:41 AM PST

    Location: Nova Scotia

    My exes mother volunteered to help paint the house we bought in the summer, I didn't even want her to be there, but my ex insisted.

    She stayed for two days and painted 4 rooms. All with supplies that I paid for, and I paid for all of her meals while she was staying.

    She never once asked to be paid for her help, she volunteered her time completely.

    Now, we've broken up (because he had a long history of cheating on me, and I was stupid to ever buy a house with him to begin with lmao) also, I feel I should note that I paid for the house entirely with my own money, his name was just there for credit since I don't have much (I'm only 21)

    After we broke up, I began seeing someone a month later because I was done with my ex emotionally a long time ago and was more than ready to move on.

    My exes mom is convinced that I must of been cheating since it's so soon (the irony since she doesn't know how much her son cheated on me) and now she's angry and messaging me asking for $1000 for painting my house, even though we never agreed to exchange anything for her time or effort. She's threatening to take me to small claims court if I don't pay her the $1000 within 30 days.

    I really don't see how she has a case, since she never asked for money until now and I never agreed to pay her.

    Does she really have anything?

    TL;DR My exes mom volunteered to paint my house back in the summer, now that we've broken up she's asking me to pay her $1000 for her time, and saying she will take me to small claims court if I don't pay within 30 days. Does she have any legal grounds?

    Employer is asking me to pay back PTO

    Posted: 31 Jan 2019 10:26 AM PST

    I have been working for my employer for over 5 years now. At the 5 year mark, full time employees receive 15 days PTO to be used within a year of their original start date. My start date is in November and I have been a full time employee since starting. In December, I took my 15 PTO days consecutively to give birth and stay home with my baby. I reached out to my employer today to schedule a returning day and to inform her that I will be returning as a part time employee for the foreseeable future. She informed me that I must now pay back my 15 days PTO if I intend to become a part time employee. I have looked in the employee handbook and can't seem to find anything that states that I would have to pay back the PTO I used. If anyone has any experience with this situation I would really appreciate the help! Thanks.

    I live in Missouri.

    I attached a photo of the PTO page in my employee handbook.Employee Handbook

    [CA] What's the type of restraining order called where a person can still be around but not talk to you like on a roommate?

    Posted: 31 Jan 2019 07:29 AM PST

    After having the cops called numerous times on my nightmare roommates they told us we could file a no-talk restraining order to at least curb the harassment. Basically they're a couple who have been fighting non-stop with each other, cursing an ungodly amount, baby tantrums at every hour of the day, loud noises, moving and dropping stuff in the middle of the night. I tried talking to them over and over but they keep ignoring me and now got bored at letting it out on each other so they involved me too. First the woman started to act weird when I asked about the rest of the rent and then accused me often random things I never did to change the subject in a really aggressive manner like "Did you know stealing the mail is a federal crime? Why did you steal mine? You probably stole me phone too!" (I saw her on her phone on my surveillance the next day). I was already mentally exhausted at that point with barely getting and sleep because of them and they know I have bad anxiety and keep being a problem like on purpose. She's a manipulator and perpetual liar who even called the cops on me as retaliation for giving them a written 30 day notice. I've been avoiding them and make no eye contact but they keep seeking me out and shouting at me even when I do something like just leaving my room to let my dog out and go to the bathroom. I recorded all the harassment. She knows she can't do anything physical to me so she tries to harm me mentally as much as possible. It got so bad I had to stay at a friends house at one point, barely have any appetite anymore and difficulty with breathing at times. We are in the process of getting them removed permanently but for the time being I just need them to stop talking to me. Having to endure their fights non-stop (they literally don't sleep!) is one thing, but another to get me involved. Getting through every day now feels like a week long challenge. My neighbor downstairs is also getting a restraining order because she threatened her on multiple occasion. She thinks all the women in the building cheat with her boyfriend who she either refers as fiance, or husband, even-though hes neither. Shes completely paranoid, drives her boyfriend crazy daily by accusing him of cheating and in turn they both get madder day by day.

    My former employer tried to pin a crime on me months ago, a detective just called me and asked me to speak with him at the police station, do I go?

    Posted: 31 Jan 2019 10:10 AM PST

    Throwaway and I am trying to keep this vague as to not give away any personal information.

    Back around September my boss attempted to pin an embezzlement charge on me. I did not do it, and left my place of employment.

    I got a lawyer and a case wasnt opened for a couple of months and he just told me not to worry about it, and it would just go away.

    I got a call about 20 min ago from a local detective saying he needed to speak with me. I let him know that I was working until late in the evening and work all day tomorrow, and he suggested Monday. I said I could tentatively plan on that, and see what my schedule is.

    He set a tentative time, and then dropped the bomb that he wants to speak with me at the police station.

    Do I go? Do I have my attorney present? I'm shaking in my boots a little.

    TLDR: A detective asked to meet with me at the police station, do I go?

    is there anything i can do if my landlord, who i had been living with lock me out and keep my things and then tell me im evicted the next day with no chance to get anything and move out?

    Posted: 31 Jan 2019 08:14 AM PST

    I was very late on paying rent and she locked me out because of that and said i wasnt going to get anything back unless i paid by the 31st, which i had plans on doing ( i got paid the 28th) but before i got a chance she just decided i was just evicted and is keeping everything. She wont even let me get my wallet or pain medication.

    I was told i could only sue them but that could take months and id likely only get money back and doesnt really help me at all at the moment. I dont have anything but a pair of clothes and honestly if theres nothing i can do my life is just pretty much over, everything i own is there.

    [DE] Drug screen returned false positive, HR rescinded offer and no recourse. 1+ months in lost wages trying to figure out WTF is going on?

    Posted: 30 Jan 2019 07:53 PM PST

    I applied and received an offer for a job in the healthcare field about a month ago. Per usual, I had to take a drug screening and background check. All is good. Literally the Saturday before I was supposed to start that following Monday, I received an email from HR saying that my offer was rescinded due to a failed drug screen. Which is impossible... and so after a bit of back and forth chat, they basically told me there was no way it can be a false positive due to the high level of methamphetamine found in my urine. WHAT? I even offered to pay for a retest but they told me that it's too late and I noticed they had removed my user access from the company portal.

    On a side note, my HR contact has been less than professional. At one point, she sent me an email detailing a list of positive candidates that they were considering hiring. In my rescinded offer letter, the stated position wasn't even the position that I accepted.

    Anyways, so I'm moved into a new apartment expecting to start work and have been trying to resolve this with HR. I contacted the company that supplied the drug screen and they redirected me to the office to obtain the actual results. I went to the office today and upon giving my name to the receptionist, five security guards came out and basically told me that I am not allowed inside the building.

    My question is, do I have a right to my drug results? I seriously think something fishy is going on here. And for the record, it is IMPOSSIBLE for methamphetamine to show up in my system.

    Are my prescriptions still valid if the prescribing doctor had his DEA number pulled?

    Posted: 31 Jan 2019 08:16 AM PST

    Throwaway, for obvious reasons.

    I have been prescribed vyvanse for the past couple of years. The closest doc was a shady pill mill type office, but he was able to write my scripts so whatever.
    He has since been arrested and had his dea number pulled. I'm now applying to jobs and I'm worried when I get drug tested they won't accept his prescriptions and I'll fail the drug test.

    I, of course, can't fill any more prescriptions, but my questions are how long after a prescription is written is it good for (my most recent one is a couple months old now). And will his name being on the bottle invalidate my script?

    Large furniture company sent back my warranty money

    Posted: 31 Jan 2019 08:47 AM PST

    So, I bought a leather couch about 1 year ago. I also purchased a warranty that it was still under. It was supposed to cover everything from pens, dog marks, etc.

    So, I sent in pictures of where my dog scratched the leather. The furniture company said yeah we can't replace that and just sent back my warranty money.

    How is that legal? Isn't that a binding document that they said they would fix it or replace it?

    I think they don't want to replace it so they just gave me back my money.

    Scammed by a car sales women without a valid Dealers License in GA

    Posted: 31 Jan 2019 08:10 AM PST

    I contracted with a lady (let's call here Jane), who is the legal entity for an L.L.C. (we sale Crooked Car Sales, LLC.) in Georgia, to purchase a car from a dealer auction for me. As part of this I agreement I set a budget of $6000 and paid Jane $1850 as a good faith deposit (all on a service contract). On Jan. 2, 2019 She informed me I she had won a vehicle at the auction out of out of state and the bid was $5500. and we could get a post-sale inspection that would ensure if something was wrong with the vehicle the deal could be undone. After auction fees (including the post-sale inspection) and her fees the total came to $6413(all itemized on a receipt of payment.) I paid her on Jan. 3, 2019. We agreed that I would go get the vehicle from out of state myself since the vehicle had gone over budget and I was trying to save as much as possible. She assured me the vehicle was in good condition, that it ran well, and there were no major body issues other than a few small rust spots on the Fender. I met with her on Jan. 14th, 2019 to sign the bill of sale and get a temporary tag in preparation for the trip. I questioned here because there was a different company's name on the bill of sale. She said it was a company she owned in Alabama and did it that way, so she didn't have to collect the tax on the vehicle. (seemed a little suspicious but, at this point, the deal was done, I had plane tickets, and she had all my money, so I just rolled with it.)

    I arrived at the auction out of state to pick up the vehicle on Jan. 15th, 2019, I discovered there was major rust all over the body and undercarriage of the vehicle. I also discovered while test driving the vehicle to ensure it would make the drive back to Georgia that there was a check engine light on so I took it to a third party mechanic who told me the vehicle was in no condition to be driving and that continuing to drive the vehicle could result in further damage to the engine. I called Jane she informed me that we could arbitrate with the auction house and that everything would be taken care of and she was trying to find flights for us (I brought my dad with me because it was a twelve-hour drive back) home. She told me to just take the vehicle back to the auction and call her back. When I got the vehicle back to the auction (about 20 minutes later) I tried to call her, and she would not answer the phone. I ended up having to by last minute plane tickets to fly home (roughly $900). I woke up Jan. 16, 2018 to a letter saying that it would take 14 days to get everything taken care of. During this time Jane would not respond to any of my phone calls text messages or e-mails. I began to do my own research thinking that she was leaving me with nothing. I found out that another company's name was used to purchase the vehicle from the auction, and that the vehicle was sold as-is from the auction and the winning bid was $2900. I was also told there was no post-sale inspection that could have been bought in conjunction with the sale of the vehicle. I was able to get in contact with the owner of the other business, He said Jane uses his dealership to access to dealer only auctions. This was also around the time I discovered that Jane did not have a valid dealers license and her real name was Jannette. (although on all the paper work I have she signed Jane). When I explained to him what was going on, He said he would help me figure it out and get Jane on the phone. On January 20th, 2018 I talked to Jane from the first time since I was in out of state at the auction. At this point I don't have a title for a vehicle, and Jane (or Jannette) has my $6413 with no intent of returning it. She sent me an email saying should could not take back position of my truck and I was advised to move it out of the auctions private lot, or it would be impounded.

    I have since created an alternate Facebook page (as she has blocked me from hers), and found she has the vehicle listed for sale of Facebook market place and told the fake person that she could overnight the title if the sale went through. All this after the email (Several days after) saying she was sending the title to me. I can assume she has no intent of returning the money or handing over the title.

    The Vehicle as far as I know and as far as she is telling the fake identity, is still at the auction out of state. I have also discovered that Jane does not hold a valid dealers license in GA, the company name on the bill of sale has not had a valid business license in 5 years nor a valid dealers license. Jane has been charged with theft by conversion, and multiple drug charges in the past and been in civil court 3 times in my county.

    In Georgia used car dealers are required to put $70,000 bond every 2 years to protect consumers against fraud. She doesn't have a valid license, so she never put that up. There is no guaranteed money and Lawyers won't take the case because of that. What is by best course of action going forward to recover my money lost in this transaction($6413 plus travel and any expense incurred by having to go to court)? The company that bought the car from the auction does have a valid dealers license. Is there anyway to prove that she works for that company and then go after that bond? Is there something criminal here that I can get the police involved? Is there a better course of action then taking her to small claims and hoping she pays the judgement?

    The guy who own the house behind me cut my tree down.

    Posted: 30 Jan 2019 03:55 PM PST

    I caught the tree service guy in the process of cutting down the tree(it was down.) They say it's not a big deal, it was a weed tree, a mullberry tree. I don't know what type it was, i'm not a tree person.

    They reached over the fence and cut it level with the top of the fence. The cops say this is civil. I liked the tree there. It shaded my garage in the winter.

    This is in St. Louis MO

    Where do I go from here?

    I just scrolled through 6 years of google photos and I have 1 picture that shows the tree. It's at the end of the yard, next to the garage and just hid the house behind us, so I never paid much attention to it.

    Here's the tree now

    UPDATE: The owner of the house called me. He apparently owns 30 properties, 15 in my area. He says he's willing to this spring, cut the tree down and plant a new tree.

    How do I ensure this happens? Is there a statute of limitations on things like this? I just don't want him to completely ignore this problem in the spring when it comes time to make it right.

    My friend who is a single mother of 3 tried claiming her son on her taxes, but the father beat her to it. Hes not even part of her sons life. What are her options?

    Posted: 31 Jan 2019 08:17 AM PST

    My friend is a single mom of 3. Her youngest is 1 year old. His father is not around. He doesnt pay child support, never visits him, basically doesnt really care to be a part of his sons life. She recently filed papers to get child support from him but thats still in the process right now. She has always had her kid under her care. Theres no custody over her child or at least no legal paperwork on who gets full custody of their child right now since she didnt find it necessary since he doesnt even bother to come around.

    She tried filing her taxes yesterday and wasnt able to because her kids father apparently had already claimed him.

    She lives on her own with her 3 kids, works full time, and is a responsible mother. I honestly have no idea how she does it.

    What are her options here? What can she do? She was really counting on that money for bills, and to get her by.

    He filed his taxes online btw. She is located in California.

    TIA

    Ex-Wife refuses to vaccinate our 3 yo son. I live near the measles outbreak and am very concerned.

    Posted: 30 Jan 2019 04:36 PM PST

    She has always been an anti-vaxxer and it has always been a point of contention between us. Despite so many discussions, arguments and trading medical articles back & forth, she STILL won't even compromise and allow our son to get even one vaccination. We've been divorced for more than a year now. It was actually quite a peaceful and civil process. It's important to note that SHE has custody over medical care, in exchange for me having custody over education decisions (because she was adamant about keeping him from school - even home school, but that's a different conversation). Wielding this control over his medical care, I don't think I can compel her to get him the MMR. Am I wrong?

    I wrote her a formal email the other day. I first indicated that it is only because of her beliefs that he has never been vaccinated. I also indicated that in light of the measles outbreak a two hundred miles from us, I would like her to reconsider at least the MMR vaccine for him. I also expressed how opposed I would be to him traveling with her to Portland/Vancouver - and any other areas that may be affected during this outbreak, like she often does. She hasn't written me back and I don't expect she will, but I at least have clearly put the ball in her court. I wrote it with the possibility of a future arbitration or mediation in mind.

    What are my options here? I bet I'll have more legal actions to take IF he gets measles, but I'd love to know how I can force her to allow him to get AT LEAST the MMR vaccine to prevent it. I'm in Oregon btw.

    I created a new account for this post because she is also a Redditor and (unfortunately) knows my usual Reddit handle.

    Thank you all so much in advance!

    A year ago my ex posted a video of me performing oral sex with my number. I got the websites to delete it but today I came across it again under a different name. I'm devastated.[UK]

    Posted: 31 Jan 2019 10:16 AM PST

    He posted it on pornhub and twitter. It was a video of me giving him head, he isn't in frame but I am on full view. I didn't go to the police because the websites deleted it and I thought it was over. The first months after he did that I received many gross calls and messages that I had to change my number. I really thought it was over because the past few months nothing happened but today I found it under a different title on pornhub. I messaged pornhub to delete this copy. I'm devasted because there are copies out there on other websites and it won't go away because it's on the internet. Dates, future boyfriends, potential friends, employers can see it. My parents and close friends had to see it. It will haunt me forever. What can I even do about it? I can only assume it's posted on other websites with other false titles.

    Work email was compromised and direct deposits were redirected without my knowledge. HR

    Posted: 31 Jan 2019 12:54 PM PST

    I've been at my job since January of last year. I enrolled in direct deposit with my bank and had been receiving all my checks without any issues. I want to note that the direct deposit enrollment form required a written signature, my social security number, account number, routing number, bank address, and a voided check, all of which I filled out without issues. Anyway, I noticed that I did not get paid for two pay periods (was supposed to get checks for the 31st of last month and the 15th of this month). I called HR and they gave me the runaround and weren't returning my calls.

    I finally spoke to the generalist (I'll call him Rob) who hired me and he immediately began looking into the case. He contacted the assistant manager of payroll who finally looked into it. It turned out that my account was compromised and someone sent emails on my behalf saying that I wanted my direct deposit redirected to a Green Dot account. I had no idea these emails were happening because they did not show up in my inbox, outbox, or trash. The payroll employee that this person spoke to (we'll call her Allison) emailed the hacker back and said that a new direct deposit form needed to be filled out in order for the checks to be redirected and emailed them a PDF of a blank form. It's seemingly identical to the form I filled out when I was first hired, except in the new form that the hacker filled out, my name along with the new account and routing number were TYPED onto it. It wasn't signed, my social security number isn't on it, nor is the bank address and there was no voided check, all of which were required when I first enrolled. The absolutely incredible part about it is they spelled my name wrong.

    Allison says that she accepted the form and didn't require more security clearance because the email came from my work email address. However, if you look at the emails, though the outgoing emails look like they came from my account, the email address that received it was changed. In other words, though the hacker sent emails from [myfirstname.mylastname@company.com](mailto:myfirstname.mylastname@company.com), the emails that Allison sent back were sent to a different email address, whose domain is associated with phishing. Regardless, I still think that's a bogus defense. All it takes is an email address and an account number to completely redirect my paychecks?

    Rob has been the only HR specialist that has been helpful. He's brought it up to the directors of payroll, IT and another department but he's saying they can only give me my money back if l prove I didn't open the Green Dot account. I had never heard of Green Dot before but apparently, they are a bit shady and I can't seem to get in contact with a human representative. When I call, they prompt me to enter either a 16 digit card number or my social security number. I enter the social security number and birthday to see if there is even an account with my information and they say that they can't find one that matches the info I provided, which leads me to believe that the people at HR didn't even check to see if the name on the account matched mine.

    I am not well read on financial law and though I want to talk to a lawyer, I am a little unsure of how to proceed or even if I should file charges and what kind of charges. I'm a 24-year-old recent grad who's swimming in student loan debt so any advice would really be appreciated.

    Edit: Sorry, forgot to include my location. I'm in New York.
