| My Friend's Mom only lets him sleep for 4 hours every night. Is this child abuse/neglect Posted: 29 May 2019 08:36 PM PDT My friend (grade 11) says that his mom only lets him sleep 4 hours per day, based on the idea that he needs to study more. Even when he has no upcoming assignments or tests, he is only allowed to sleep between 1 am and 5 am. If his grades do poorly, he is allowed to sleep less, since his mom thinks that he must not be studying enough. Is there anything he can do about it? This is in Illinois [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 30 May 2019 04:28 AM PDT My tenants recently moved out and left my property in a disgraceful state. Literal rat nests and rat feces everywhere, handles ripped of doors, holes in walls, carpeting ruined, the list goes on and on. I have found contact information for their new landlord. Is there anything preventing me from disclosing to the new landlord how the tenants left my property? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 30 May 2019 05:55 AM PDT The title does not explain the situation clearly, so here's the issue: Updating to add location: Northern VA area I was out jogging on March 29th, maybe 5 minutes from my home when I was attacked by a cane corso. He bit me on my arm and my left buttcheek. Police were called to the scene and I was transported to the hospital via ambulance. Maybe a week or two following the incident, I drafted a letter to the dogs owner for her to sign confirming she would be responsible for all medical charges/property damages associated with the incident. While she agreed to pay all medical bills (via text), she never returned the signed letter because she felt it'd be best to wait til the physical bills came in for her to provide payment at that time. Fast forward to now, I received the first bill which was only for the hospital visit, totaling in $100.60 (after my insurance). The due date for this bill is June 16th. I sent this bill over to the dogs owner and she claims she is unable to pay, as she is on disability and only gets paid once, on the 26th of each month. I am in a tough spot now because while I do feel bad, I feel like this is only going to get more complicated once the ER Physician Bill and the ambulance transportation bill come in. She claims to be of low income and is trying her best, but I don't feel like I should be dealing with any late fees due to her inability to pay a bill in time. Mind you, it's been almost two months and you'd think she would have anticipated these bills sooner or later, so she would have possibly saved up some $ for this situation. I called the billing department for this first bill and they advised it would not effect my credit until 120 days past the bills due date, and at that point it would go into collections, thus effecting my credit score. My bf is suggesting filing under small claims court. Anyone with actual legal experience have any suggestions? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 30 May 2019 12:00 PM PDT Boys Town, NE is a foster system village that houses children full-time and has them attend school on campus. Most children are sent by court order however if a parent deems them "too difficult" they can pay to have Boys Town take in their child until they become an adult. My younger brother [18] was sent to Boys Town, Nebraska by my parents ~9 months ago when he was still 17. The age of majority in Nebraska is 19, so even though he is 18 he is not considered an adult yet. He was smoking weed and skipping school which was the argument they used for his admission. He has not graduated high school yet either. He hates it there, has been transferred foster homes because other boys have beat him up, he's run away multiple times, and has since essentially forced to become involved in a bad crowd of criminals, drugs users, and gang members to survive. Boys Town kids often run away and hide out until they are 19, something I DON'T want him to resort to. I'm 21 and I am a legal resident in the state of Missouri. I have the financial means to take him in and send him to high school in my area. This is something we've talked about and he is thrilled about the idea. Does he have a right to an attorney at 18 in Nebraska? Can they legally keep him there against his will if he wasn't sent by court order? And if I were to take him to Missouri without becoming his guardian or something could I be charged with harboring a minor? There is NOTHING online about the legality of the Boys Town situation and rights of the kids there, and I'm worried they and my parents will fight it hard if I go a legal route. I'm really concerned about his mental and physical health in the foster system. tl;dr: I [21, F] have the financial means to support my brother [18] and take him away from the Boys Town Foster System in Nebraska. Nebraskans aren't considered adults until age 19. Is there a way I can fight this and become his guardian? Will I be charged with harboring a minor if we essentially prison break him out of there?

| Posted: 30 May 2019 07:03 AM PDT Hi all, So a few months ago I bought a new home that has a line of trees at the back which is great, it backs onto a medium busy road and it does a lot to block the sound. We have come to find out that in the next year most of these trees are going to be removed as a result of an easement to add a sidewalk next to the road. We were aware of the potential easement, but not that we were losing 10+ mature trees in the rear of the house, and that the county had compensated the owner for these trees around 2 years ago when they drew up plans. Neither tree removal nor the compensation for it were publicly available and didn't appear during our closing. We've FOIAd the compensation so we don't know exactly how much it was yet, but knowing Virginia is a caveat emptor we're not sure where our next steps should be. I have a group legal plan from work, so we'll talk to someone in the near future but wanted to get any input someone here may have. Edit: Picture here https://imgur.com/a/GSOB9N3 [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 30 May 2019 09:51 AM PDT Hi all, this account is a throwaway to protect our identities, and I'm not able to include the state in which this happened as this has not (yet) gone public. This is going to be tough to write but my wife and I (both younger people, attending a major university stateside as graduate/professional students) feel like we are both out of immediate options and want to understand if we have any legal grounds for restitution or help of any kind. She is exhausted from fighting this battle and it has heavily threatened her life and our marriage, emotional wellbeing, finances, friendships and more. I'm posting this mostly on her behalf (with her permission) as she is too emotionally exhausted to author it. Here is the situation: In 2016 my wife was awarded a very hard to get and prestigious fellowship working with a new research professor at our university. She had slaved away through high school and college to earn this opportunity and was immensely proud when she landed it. At the time, she was excited to work with him as he was young, ambitious, and came from a prestigious Ivy League education and had already made a huge impact on this niche field. He was always extraordinarily complimentary of her and her work and made her feel like a valued member of the team. In the STEM field, women are a minority and it was good to see her thrive in a male-dominated career and lab. I should also note: 1.) He was here in the US on work visa as his primary citizenship is in another country., and 2.) In grad school, you work VERY closely with your boss. They are more than just a supervisor, they control everything about your present and future and this creates an environment primed for abuse, both mental and sexual. Fast forward to a year ago- June 2018. Her boss (we call them PIs, or Principal Investigators) had just had a baby 1 month prior with his wife who had moved here from their home country to support his new career at this university. He took his wife to the airport so she could go home to their family with the new baby, and later that same day emailed my wife around 5AM, asking her to join him in his car to watch the sunrise. She agreed as she was up working on a paper, and thought he wanted to talk about something important. He tried to kiss her in the car that morning. She did not reciprocate and he freaked out. He told her that his wife just "hasn't been the same" since having the baby a month ago, and that he had "needs". Over the next month, he would call her into his office to "apologize" but after doing so, he would ask for a hug/kiss as he felt "terrible about what he had done" and wanted emotional comfort. (Important note: his office was in a building that they all had 24/7 card access too, and had a door he could lock with no windows.) By this point, my wife was not sleeping well and had started drinking heavily to cope with the situation. I was not yet aware of what was going on as he had started to hold her hostage- claiming that if she ever told anyone, even me, he would see to it that her future prospects were destroyed as well as her current job with the lab. By August, he had figured out that he could manipulate her without her speaking out to anyone about what was happening to her. There was a welcome event occurring in the first week for all the new graduate students at the start of the school year, and he had arrived from his home country too late that day to make it. He headed into his office around 9:00 at night and asked her to join him. He took off her clothes and forced her to touch him. The most fucked up dynamic is that he would force his way into these sexual situation with her, and get PISSED if she somehow pushed him off or denied him. At the same time, he would get angry if she complied, always telling her after he raped her that it was "her job to help him stay faithful to his wife and child and she had failed". Through September and October things got worse, and he grew even more confident. He was sexually assaulting her 3-5 times a week, and it turned into assault with penetration (definition of rape) despite her saying no and crying on many occasions asking him not to repeat those types of acts. Most of these happened at night, in his office with no window. He would shut the door and physically bar her from leaving while he raped her. She was disappearing as a person both individually and in our marriage, drinking herself to sleep most nights on the floor of her office in our house and basically attempting suicide passively through alcohol abuse. She fell under 100 pounds at one point, but also managed to hide almost all of this from me. In October she left her personal journal out on the table and that was the first time I was hit with what happened. It was a shockwave of pain and anger, reading all of it at once. Her writing was broken and fragmented and seemed to heavily disassociate from reality, especially when describing the rape occurrences. I attempted to go after him that day, but she begged me not too and broke down. The Stockholm syndrome was in full effect, and on top of that she was deathly afraid of the professional consequences as he had implied earlier. Eventually he found out that I knew too, which stopped his assault, but by November he had completely cut her out of the lab, professionally. December was a break, and he was back in his home country and we stayed home. In January, my wife decided to write a message to his wife, telling her what had happened. As soon as she read it, she fled back to their home country and took their child with her. This guy flew after her despite having two full classes (40 each) of undergraduate students, and a lab full of PhD and master's students directly relying on him to do their work. He wrote an email about "needing to go on indefinite medical leave", cancelled all his classes AFTER the drop-add period (which the school absolutely hated him for) and disappeared. This is when she/we decided to go to the school's Title IX Office. She had been afraid to do so but with him out of the picture (and the school confused and upset about his disappearance) it felt like the right time. They started the interview process with him and her in late January. Here's where we are now, and I'm starting to wonder if we have any sort of legal case at all:
She is seeing an offsite therapist for PTSD therapy through EMDR. She was denied internal counseling resources by the school. (Title IX referred her to counseling who referred her back to Title IX, etc..) The school finally agreed to pay for her offsite therapy, but only until the case closes. She will likely need months if not years of this specialized treatment, so I don't see that as appropriate restitution at all. Anyhow, here we both are. Her and I have always been incredibly connected, both emotionally and physically. Now she recoils at my touch and isn't able to be intimate in our marriage anymore. She cries herself to sleep most nights and has lost a year of time on a prestigious 3 year fellowship. We were both incredibly high-performing students and to see her feeling broken like this is hard. He fucked off back to his home country and took a consulting job. The worst part is the lack of empathy from the school and her peers. She has audio recordings of the investigator asking if she was "dressed provocatively", and that's just the tip of the iceberg. One day at a time. Thanks all. [link] [comments]  |
| My school did not report my case (sexual assault on a minor) but claimed they did Posted: 30 May 2019 10:23 AM PDT In California, private school in los angeles. I was sexually assaulted by a senior as a junior while I was drunk. I told the school months later who explained that, because i was a minor, they would have to report it to CPS. they then said that CPS didn't consider it anything worth noting and the school chose his punishment (taking lessons in women's rights or something). months later, when i went to a mental hospital and told them of the same crime they said that it was not recorded on the database and had never been reported to CPS. after the mental hospital reported it the cops questioned me and asked if i wanted to continue with an investigation. is what my school did illegal? they're a very affluent, reputable school that has had some scandals in the past and is fairly in the public eye if that changes anything.

| Posted: 30 May 2019 06:49 AM PDT Please, if you're only advice is to get an attorney, we are well aware of that but do not have the funds to do so. We need to file this motion ourselves and as soon as possible although it is only a temporary motion being ex parte it will prevent him from physically removing the children. If anyone can help I just need help with a simple template for an order that I have scoured the Internet for and can not find to submit along with the completed cover sheet. We have filed all of our motions up to this point without an attorney. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 30 May 2019 07:41 AM PDT Hi everyone. Pretty much says it all in the title. I am 19F in Connecticut, USA. Having struggled with an eating disorder, I know the importance of healthy teeth and I go to great lengths to keep my teeth clean. I've only had one cavity in my life, and that was when I was very young. So here's the situation: I went to the dentist's three weeks ago for a checkup. The dental hygienists at this particular office are known around town to exaggerate issues with teeth and push for procedures that don't really need to be done, so I always took their advice with a grain of salt. I'm absolutely NOT saying that I know more than a dental hygienist about teeth and dental care, but here is an example of something they tell me every time I come in: they say I need to get my wisdom teeth out RIGHT AWAY, and spend 5 or more minutes pushing me to make an appointment. I got my wisdom teeth early and was assured by my orthodontist that I was lucky and they wouldn't affect the way my teeth sit in my mouth, so I don't have to get them out. That's just an example of how they push. Sorry for digressing, I felt an example would be necessary. So here is the incident: the dental hygienist I had that day opened up my mouth and said she suspected I had cavities in my four back molars. She used a sharp tool to scrape away any plaque, and to my surprise, began hammering at my molar. I know this is sometimes done during checkups, especially with cavities, but she was pushing and twisting the tool into my tooth with such force that my eyes began to tear up. I asked her to stop and tried to close my mouth, but she assured me that this was standard procedure. My gut told me it wasn't, but I stayed in the chair anyways. She proceeded to do this with the rest of my back molars. She didn't touch my wisdom teeth, just the back molars. She then informed me that I do have cavities in all four, and that I'd need to come in to get them filled. I left the office in tears and in pain. A week or so ago, I was with my dad at a family friend's house. She is a dentist. We were talking discussing the qualities of offices in the area, as she is looking for a new job, and I told her my story. She immediately went into her bathroom and pulled out an at-home dental cleaning kit. She asked me to sit back in a chair in her kitchen, took a look at my teeth, and said there was no sign of tooth decay or a cavity in my four back molars. I am furious. My dad went absolutely ape shit and has talked to my mom about suing the office. I am on his insurance still. I did ask if she cleaned out any tooth decay (because I'm no dentist and know really nothing about cavities, I just clean my teeth the best way I know how), and my dad's friend said it doesn't work like that. I am so upset. I'd like to know what my options are and how to go about getting legal help for this. I haven't had the holes filled (have to go to a new office) and I am in pain. I can't eat foods that are too cold or too hot. I can't even drink water with ice, I have to let it warm to room temperature. What do I need to do here? What can I possibly do? Thanks in advance, and I apologize for the rambling. Edit: can't spell. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 30 May 2019 06:41 AM PDT I bought Sergeants flea and tick silver for my two cats. I applied it as directed on Friday May 24, 2019. On May 26th 2019 both cats passed away within 10 minutes of one another. Both cats seemed fine after application and seemed fine Saturday Morning and Sunday morning as well. We went swimming and came home about 4 hours later. My big boy Peyton (10) didn't greet me as usual when I got home, I went to find him and he had already passed. I found Milo (2) next he was paralyzed and I immediately put him in the tub to rinse him off he started seizing and passed within 10 minutes of Peyton. Both of my cats were perfectly healthy before this medicine. I know 100% there is nothing else they could have gotten into. Anything dangerous to them in the house is kept in a locked tote under the sink. I've read hundreds of reports of the same thing happening to others as well. We had used this for 5 years with no incident and this was the 6th year and this year it killed them. [link] [comments]  |

| My landlord says I can’t work from home Posted: 29 May 2019 09:37 PM PDT I'm a remote employee for a company in California, I'm in Maryland. Last week, my landlord came to check out an issue with the garbage disposal. When he asked when I was available, I told him whenever because I'm remote. Yesterday, he came to tell me that he talked to the buildings management and I'm in violation of my lease (it is a condo building, he owns my condo which I lease from him). He was very apologetic but said I needed to show paperwork from my company or other proof that I am no longer working remotely or would be in violation of my lease. Reading my lease, the only qualification I see is that I can't run a business out of my home but that isn't what's happening here. I tried to explain that I am just remotely working for another business but he told me his hands are tied due to strict condo rules. Any ideas what to do here? I could work from coffee shops or coworking spaces but 1) it bothers me that they think this is their business when I'm harming nobody and 2) it's nice to work from home! I have 7 months left on my lease. EDIT: thank you everybody for your help and for answering even the most basic questions. I spoke with my company's legal team which gave me a letter detailing what my work is (sitting on a computer). I will submit to my landlord, as I think he's just trying to cover his own butt on this.

| Should I be concerned my laptops files were remotely accessed? Posted: 30 May 2019 04:45 AM PDT Backstory, I live in Egypt (am American however), where the government is known for trying to stop anonymity with VPNs, and track everyone's usage. So a few months ago I downloaded .mp4 files of some shows and movies and put them in a folder in my laptop (Ironically Huawei laptop). Whilst on an airplane, just a week ago, I decided to watch one of them. When I opened my folder, all of my movie files were gone not even in my recycle bin, and in their place a .jpg file called "+++Interpol Violation Notice+++" was there. Upon looking at the file properties, it was created Sunday, April 7, 2019, 6:58:12 AM, and said the "file came from another computer". Can the government go through my laptop without my knowledge, and is it legal? Is this warning something I should be concerned about? This startled me pretty hard. [link] [comments]  |
| Can a hand written timeline/journal be used as supporting evidence in a child custody case? Posted: 30 May 2019 09:18 AM PDT Georgia, USA. My step daughter, who is 5 years old, is here to visit for a few weeks and my husband is currently in an active court case for contempt involving parental alienation. Obviously it is too costly to video record the entire visit. But there are things we need to use as evidence (such as his daughter saying we are not her family, her calling my husband by his first name, etc...). We need this evidence to support our parental alienation claim. So far, I have a journal of dates and times and things that have happened. For example, my husband called me from picking her up and said "this is not good. She just told me I'll never be her real dad". So I wrote down the date/time and what he told me in a journal. My question is, can this be used as supporting evidence? Should I sign it? Or do we actually need to get this stuff on recording for it to be valid? We will obviously get SOME stuff recorded but we can't have our phones out 24/7 nor do we want to. We want to enjoy our visit with her too. If anyone has any other ideas (if this doesn't work) I would greatly appreciate it. We are panicking at the severity of the situation. Edit: I also told husband to write everything down as well.

| NY Landlord claiming he can enter my apartment whenever with no notice because it’s in the lease. Posted: 30 May 2019 11:05 AM PDT Long story short my landlord entered my apartment to 'fix' something while we weren't home (me, my boyfriend and my infant) on a day he thought we wouldn't be home all day. We got rained out and returned to him in our living room. When confronted he claims he reserves the right to enter the apartment whenever as it states in the lease. Which it does say, under cleanliness. My understanding is that is not legal and putting it in the lease doesn't change anything because it is not legal in this state. This is also concerning because we have a large dog (90 Ibs) whom he has met only once and I cannot fathom my dog let him in without him giving him treats. Is this legal because he put it in the lease? [link] [comments]  |
| Roommate signed lease with my name on it behind my back. Posted: 30 May 2019 01:43 AM PDT Not me, but a friend. His roommate renewed their lease 1 month ago without my friend's knowledge. He found this out because he needed to discuss the terms of the lease with him, as the roommate wanted a 2 year lease and my friend only wanted 1 year. Roommate says "well you had to have signed the lease with your electronic signature" and my friend has zero recollection of this. I told my friend earlier today before this that the roommate would forge his signature on the lease to get what he wants, only slightly joking. My friend was going to renew the lease, but only for 1 year. I witnessed the conversation in question, and we have other friends who know about the whole leasing situation that can attest to my friend's lack of knowledge about the renewed lease. Is this fraud? If so, does my friend have any legal recourse? I'm not sure how he can prove that he didn't know about signing the lease and that he did not electronically sign, since all it is is typing his name. Getting into contact with the landlord is dicey; He had to jump through hoops to find the property manager's phone number for a separate issue. There is no paper copy of the lease, only electronic. We are in TN, if it helps. TIA. [link] [comments]  |
| Was prescribed a medication for roughly 6 years. It ruined my life. Do I have any recourse? Posted: 30 May 2019 01:17 PM PDT US - OR When I was a child I was diagnosed with tourrete's syndrome. I bounced around from medication to medication for that and eventually got it sorted out, apparently it tends to go away around the teens. However right after that I was experiencing bad anxiety and some depression. We tried ssri's, non Ssri's, lots of different meds but finally settled on a long lasting benzo. I started with a fairly low dose. I was kept on this medication for years. Dosage increased. Throughout most of my major developmental years. This medication brought upon horrible effects I am still only starting to notice until this day. My memory is absolutely ruined. I can't remember anything from the past 5 years or so. I have the short term memory of a Sim. I had several relationships both personal and professional ruined from how I acted. I missed work regularly. The doctor never I once tried to get me off it or reduce dose. And he was aware that I was doing fine and not getting panic attacks anymore. He was a pediatric psychologist so recently he told me I had to switch doctors. When I did, the new doctor said nobody prescribed this medication and I would not be able to find someone who would. Then he seriously apologized for this. He said he "apologizes on behalf of the medical community." I had to quit the medication cold turkey. I was bedridden for a week. I missed a week worth of work. And recluse for two weeks. Every day is a struggle. My emotions are very out of tune. I litteraly had to relearn how to interact with people and be a human. I had to redefine my life and my lifestyle. It was incredibly difficult. I feel uneasy, unhealthy, and I shake constantly. And most importantly I feel like years of my life were stolen from me. I feel like i was drowning for years and I finally breached the water. I feel like a blindfold was lifted off me. I just want to know if I have any possible recourse here or if it's not even worry exploring. I don't have a lot of money so this is my first thing im exploring. Thanks for your time. I should note I am located in Oregon while the doctor is located in Washington. [link] [comments]  |
| My brother has been in the SHU for longer than 90 days Posted: 29 May 2019 10:57 PM PDT My brother is in prison in Oklahoma and has been stuck in isolation for longer than 90 days.

| Laissez-faire landlord offering month to month instead of renewed yearly lease Posted: 30 May 2019 05:43 AM PDT This is in Oklahoma. I've been leasing a 3bd house in a small neighborhood from a leasing company. My year long lease is up in two days and my landlord is saying I don't need to sign a new lease. He says the owner of the home is very hands-off, that the house hasn't been in demand in a while, and that we could continue month-to-month with no changes to our current contract. I've been screwed in the past with renting apartments, security deposits, etc and this feels a little iffy to me. Don't I need a lease to protect myself from rent hikes or an unexpected move-out? Is there "month-to-month" paperwork I can get in writing? What happens to my security deposit and pet deposits? Am I better off pushing for another year long binding lease?Thanks for any and all legal advice, this community is amazing. [link] [comments]  |
| Missouri - friends yard floods due to leaking private lake Posted: 30 May 2019 05:59 AM PDT A privately owned lake up the road from them appears to be leaking through the City utility line making it darn near impossible to even cut, not to mention the smell is now rancid. A city worker told them it has been an issue for at least 25 years, but not cost effective for the city to fix with so few houses on our road and the fact that the lake is a private lake, so not their problem. At least 6 properties are affected, 3 with basement failures including their basement twice. Due to the smell and constantly wet ground, the yard is unusable unless there has been no precipitation for some time. So far they are out at least $50k due to the water issues, and that's a conservative estimate. Last fall they had to have almost the entire foundation repaired because of this. Is this something that should have been reported on the real estate disclosures? If it wasn't, and I don't think it was, what could the sellers be held liable for (damages, the entire sake price of the house, etc)? Does the fact the leak (according to them) is coming thru the city utility lines affect who is responsible? Would they need a real estate lawyer? "Regular" lawyer? [link] [comments]  |
| Friend stole from me at a party, now saying that he’s going to call the cops if I tell people Posted: 30 May 2019 10:52 AM PDT I'm using my girlfriends account bc I don't have a reddit account lmao. So there was a party a few days ago, in short he had stolen a pair of shoes (balenciaga triple S) and AirPods from and and got away with it since no one suspected him. After a few days I saw screenshots of him talking to someone else about how he "found" the shoes at the party the next day and just decided to take them. Anyways, he gave it back after denying it for days due to the screenshot evidence. Naturally I'm really mad, so I start telling my friends about the situation and I post it on my Instagram private story (around 40 people). Since he's known for scamming and stealing others stuff (I saw texts from him also planning to scam other people) I wanted people to be aware he's still doing this. He then starts threatening me to take those down or else the "youth" cops will get involved and that he will get me in trouble/sue me for emotional abuse. He's also spreading lies about me to our friends, saying how I'm a liar, and that my girlfriends is a liar (she's spreading what he did also), and how I'm only with her for money (she's a lot more wealthy then I am) etc etc Is it illegal for me to post those? Is it really emotional abuse if I'm literally just posting the screenshots of him arranging the sale of MY shoes. I want to tell and warn people and I'm scared that he's actually going to get the cops involved since he did give those shoes back. [link] [comments]  |
| Competitor stole my whole website/database and sells it as their own Posted: 30 May 2019 01:04 AM PDT Hi! I own a subscription-based website that has specific guides with images on how to do certain things. I'm in business for 3 months now and the business is doing good. Yesterday I found out that someone has copied my entire database, without changing anything. Even using images from our guides. It is very easy to prove copyright. I'm self-employed and the website is not owned by an LLC but by me. The competitors' website seems to be running from Bangladesh (I'm from Europe). Yesterday I sent a CEISE and DESIST letter (template which I found online) to their email. I'm 100% sure they will ignore it and keep running their new business. Is there anything I can do? How can I stop their business based on copyright? BTW, you can't see copyrighted content from the homepage, because on both websites you need to pay to see the content. In the future, I'll watermark all my images, but up to this point, there's nothing stopping them from earning money with the images they already have. [link] [comments]  |
| Dad is planning on leaving me all property that he owns, but not in a will. Posted: 30 May 2019 06:54 AM PDT My father lives in a house on approximately 50 acres and has a couple rental properties all in Oklahoma. The way he has it set up with the title company is that if anything happens to him, the title company has deeds already written up in "trust" with me being the co-owner of all property and will release that to me. Then once I get a death certificate, I can simply have his name removed. That all sounds fine, but I have a sibling that will definitely contest this. Am I protected at all? I have talked to the title company numerous times and they said they would testify as to this being what my father wanted, but am afraid that this will cost more money in the long run. I have asked my dad numerous times to get it in an official trust with a lawyer but he just won't listen. Thanks [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 30 May 2019 08:24 AM PDT He claims to know where I live yet he hasn't told me where I live, I've never given him my cell number but we have talked via reddit and he said he knows every text I make and where it goes to he did provide the location of the cell tower my phone is at, however I have moved from that city. He has said if I don't continue to send him nudes (as I was when we had online relations) that he will take me and rape me, he seems very capable of doing this and I know little about him. I told him I'm going to the police however he isn't afraid at all (I am going to the police today) I'm very concerned given I have children and a husband. (This relationship happened when my husband and I were split up and he blackmailed me for years after to continue) I never ever wanted to cheat on my husband I was single when it started however I have in to his blackmail out of fear which was really stupid and now I feel trapped and scared. I believe he lives in a different state then me... what can I do to protect myself and my family? [link] [comments]  |
