| [FL] Recently moved and ex has twice informally accused me of stalking her Posted: 08 Dec 2019 08:26 AM PST I recently bought a house in a fairly popular neighborhood; most of my friends and an ex-girlfriend from two years ago live in it. I ran into the ex and she asked if I was stalking her. At first, I thought she was joking, but it became clear she wasn't. Her basis was that I attended a show for a national music act a few months ago (her band opened, I was able to dodge half their set), and that she saw me bike down her street. I e-mailed her after that run-in to offer to avoid her street, but noted that we have similar interests and this isn't a huge town, so we'll occasionally run into each other. That received no response. Last week, my friends invited me to a themed rock show at a small venue near me. I bought tickets, later saw that her band was in the line-up, and decided to not go. Night of the show, she texts me that she's instructed the doorman to not let me in and that she's going to take action if "this behavior persists" and that it's bad enough that I moved into "[her] neighborhood." I requested that she not contact me again and that I have no intention of attending her shows. Do I need to get a lawyer to log these interactions? Do I just wait it out to see if nothing/something occurs and ignore her when we inevitably see each other? It doesn't seem like a single text is something actionable on the harassment scale, I'm just worried that she's going try to escalate this and don't know how to get in front of it.

| Posted: 08 Dec 2019 07:31 AM PST My uncle recently attempted suicide and is now in a mental health facility. I have been communicating with his boss so that he doesn't lose his job, yet his boss continually asks why he is in the hospital. I gave him a certified doctor's note showing that he needed 2 weeks off, and my uncle had the sick and vacation time to cover this time off. Despite this his boss still asks what my Uncle's prognosis is, and is threatening termination if we don't give him the information. Are his threats of termination valid ? Does he have the right to demand this information ? If it helps we live in New Jersey. [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 08 Dec 2019 11:27 AM PST Info: Location: NC, USA. This is a very long one, I will try to provide a TLDR, but I suggest you read the whole post to really see the situation I'm in. TLDR which is also long itself: Brother has seizures. He has always had them and has them every day. CPS took him due to my mom being sleep deprived on assumptions that she was abusing substances. She has since passed multiple intensive drug tests and complied with everything CPS wants. They told her she just needed a plan for 24/7 additional childcare since she's a single mother. She provided the plan and now they're sending us through hoops. The CPS caretakers are not noticing my brothers very subtle forms of seizures, he's going under treated for them. Every seizure he has could kill or disable or permanently regress his development. He has already regressed major from the point of running and screaming to not being able to stand on his own. My mom already has a court-appointed attorney but she is really terrible and won't even make rebuttals, even tells my mom to remain silent in the courtroom. I believe CPS has violsted her parental rights by telling her she is not allowed to come to a medical appointment. We have next to no money, every resource must be free or very very cheap. I need to understand my rights as a brother, hers as a parent, and what we can do. Actual post: My brother has a major medical condition, of which seizures are a huge symptom. He is a toddler. This child, his care, and specifically ensuring proper care for his medical condition has been the focal point of my mother's life since his birth. She has taken measures for him to the point that I would confidently say she has given up everything for him. Of course, this medical care comes with multiple hardships. Dealing with the seizures is the worst part. A single seizure could be deadly. A single seizure could disable him. A single seizure being improperly handled could be the end for this child. There's an entire history regarding his seizures, the types he has, which medication fixes it. The pattern is usually that she has seizures, the specialists work to and do analysis, figure out the part of his brain that's causing them, the type of seizures they are, and they prescribe appropriate medication sometimes a "course" of medication that spans weeks with changing doses. The doctors have been great at finding the right medicine for him and his seizures will lessen. Then either the medicine stops working or a new type of seizure starts or different part of the brain starts seizing and the pattern repeats. This is very stressful for a single mother, obviously. She has so much anxiety over making sure that ever seizure is recorded and that he's cared for that she barely sleeps. Sometimes my brother won't fall asleep, sometimes seizures wake him up throughout the night and so my mother gets such broken sleep that it might as well be considered no sleep. With that in mind, what happened recently was that a child development specialist (he has many which work with him weekly, monthly, etc. to make sure that he progresses and develops properly, another thing that my mom has been great at,) was working with my brother on a day that my mom had gone 3 consecutive days without sleep. My mom understandably was sleep deprived and falling in and out of a conscious state. The specialist took this as a terrible sign and immediately called CPS to report that my mother was incapable of caring for my brother. I'll assume that they assumed substance abuse. Thus the downward spiral begun. An intensive drug test was ordered. Mother tested negative. There was a court hearing. CPS and the Judge decided that in order to get my brother back there needed to be an additional caretaker present 24/7 to make sure he got the right care. My mother quickly found friends/family willing to sign up and submitted the plan. Then CPS decided they needed other things from my mom, evaluations, more tests, etc. Essentially CPS has decided they do not want to give my brother back and is sending my mom through hoops to delay/prevent the process. That alone sucks, but what makes this a major issue is what happened on the first of my mother's allowed weekly visits. In the face of everything that's against my brother, he has developed great. He started walking, running, picking things up, communicating through body languages, and much more. Things that seem small but are huge leaps in child development for someone who it is very possible to never even begin walking. However on the first visit my mom noticed he has tremendously regressed. He's not walking, if he tries he falls down. No attempts are speaking, no body language, just clutching to my mom and not wanting to go. The CPS workers also said, "he's doing great, he hasn't had any seizures." Immediate major red flag. There is absolutely no way that he went from multiple seizures a day to none. What this means is that the caretakers are not familiar with seizures at all. In their mind, a seizure means being unconscious, shaking, etc. But that's not the case. My brother has partial (sometimes called focal) seizures, where nothing really happens to catch anyone's eye that he's having a seizure, but if you pay attention you'll notice he will not respond to anything, even shining a light in his eyes will not make him blink. Then on the second visit he actually had a partial seizure in front of my mom (after they again reported he had been seizure free.) She counted the minutes. 5 minutes went by so she administered his medicine which is specifically to stop seizures that last 5 minutes or longer. Then followed up with his daily medicine. CPS took him to the hospital where an ER doctor said, "Yeah, doesn't seem like a seizure to me." Unfortunately he isn't a trained epidemiologist, so he as well is not familiar with these types of seizures. So now on top of everything else CPS claims that my mom is overmedicating my brother. He really really needs to come back home. Each seizure he has which is obviously going untreated could do permanent damage, permanently regress his development or kill him. CPS is not taking adequate care of my brother and it's harming him. What course do I have? Not to mention that this is killing my mother emotionally. She is so scared that he will die or be permanently damaged in their care because they have proven to not know what they're doing. My mother has an attorney. Court-appointed. And she is terrible. When the judge asks for rebuttals the attorney always says no and tells my mom that she is not to speak at all. This is ridiculous. CPS told the judge that my brother was not having seizures and that he was being overmedicated by my mom when in reality he's having a very subtle type of seizure and my mom is following proper medication procedures. That's what the attorney should have brought up, but instead elected to remain silent. The most recent advancement is that CPS has told my mother she is not allowed to come to his next medical appointment (which was set before this started). Which I believe is an entire violation of her parental rights which have not been revoked. Unfortunately this was not said in a written record. The appointment is tomorrow, 5 hours away. There's no way she could make it now. So CPS could just say "oh yeah she was allowed, we never said she couldn't" Which would protect them legally but still my mom couldn't go. We don't have much money, like at all. I want to call CPS myself and figure out why they're not handling things properly but I'm not even sure of my rights as a brother. I also don't know her rights as a parent. I need advice. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 07 Dec 2019 10:33 PM PST I just spent about 30 minutes in a hot tub at the hotel I'm currently staying at. Everything seemed normal for the most part as I was in it by myself until I eventually noticed some irritation in my genitals (male). I decided to get out and investigate to find that my lower torso and legs were WAY less hairy than before I'd gotten in. My legs took the brunt of it. They look like I rubbed nair all over and took it off a little too soon. The hair color is now almost blond as well. As soon as I made sense of what might be happening, I rinsed off under the pool shower then rushed back to my room to thoroughly clean up. As far as skin irritation, my genitals are still mildly irritated but the rest of my body seems fine. Just a little itchy. I called the front desk to notify them and make sure they don't let anyone in the pool or hot tub until it's been checked. This is the late night shift so the person working the front desk had to call someone and ask what to do. They offered to comp the room which is nice but I'm wondering if I'm going to need medical attention from this. One more thing, my wedding ring is partly made from silver and appears to have been dyed to the color of pencil led. It's not a super expensive ring but of course has immeasurable sentimental value. Any suggestions as to how to move forward here would be great. Thanks. [link] [comments]  |

| I'm fighting with my school district.

I am representing myself and we exchanged discovery questions. The school's attorney knows I'm representing myself, are they just trying to railroad me? Can I object at this stage?

| Posted: 08 Dec 2019 09:34 AM PST My dog stays with my grandparents out in the country (because I live somewhere i can't have pets atm). My grandfather shot at the dogs who chased my nephew and hurt my dog. I need to take my dog to the vet but they are all closed as it is a Sunday and they will charge extra for emergency service. How should I go about this. We can't afford the vet bills as is much less an extra fee for it being a Sunday. is there anyway to get the owner of the dogs to pay for the vet bills /should we call the Sheriffs department before we take him up to the vet. I'm sorry I have a lot of questions but me and my family have no idea how to even go about this type of situation. I'm very glad my dog was their and that he protected my nephew, but I'm really upset my dog is hurt because he's old. [link] [comments]  |
| Is it illegal to advertise health care while not offering such care? Posted: 08 Dec 2019 12:01 PM PST There is a sign in my employers business that clearly states they offer health care and a livable wage to their employees. Neither of these things are true.

| Posted: 08 Dec 2019 08:30 AM PST So I got arrested for a drunk and disorderly when I was younger and was never convicted. I have the nolle process letter and my place of employment has always been fully aware. I had this incident expunged and to my knowledge the only situations under which it could be uncovered were by federal authorities with cause. Is this correct? The situation is that there was a kid was having behavioral issues once and I addressed them following the club's policy on the matter. Later on there was a situation where the club changed a policy and I had to enforce it and the parents of the kid decided to get in my face about it and even cited the previous incident and reported me to the club as having been disrespectful even though I kept telling them I couldn't changed the policy and referring them to the person that could. Finally yesterday the kid through an all out tantrum and refused to follow instructions so I called my supervisor explained what was happening and got the ok to send him home. I left him with another coach and took the rest of the group to do our activities for the day. The other coach later came back and told me that the kids parents had looked up my records and were threatening to make a big deal about it at my work place. My questions are 1. How could they have accessed my records if they were expunged? 2. Is it legal for them to have done so? My record was from Georgia but I live in Florida now. 3. What can I do about it? I appreciate any advice given in advance. [link] [comments]  |

| Texas: renters with new home owners Posted: 08 Dec 2019 06:35 AM PST We are currently renting a home in Texas. The new owners will be closing just before Christmas and moving in as soon as we leave. We are also moving just before Christmas. But we paid rent, through a management company, for the whole month of December as the lease had no prorating. We were told we would get prorating if new tenants started paying in December. But how does that work with actual homeowners who aren't paying rent? Our question is does the current homeowner owe us the prorated amount since we already paid him for the last 10 days but new owners are moving in during that time? Or because the new owners aren't tenants we don't get anything back? We tried asking the management company but they don't answer the question. Thanks for any info! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 08 Dec 2019 12:32 PM PST My parents have a cottage on a lake by a small town in north ontario. They've had it about 15 years and never really had a problem with trespassers. They saw the occasional hunter, but after putting up "no trespassing" signs and a gate by their property they stopped. Their property is quite large and is 99% forest. A small dirt road runs through it and is used by a few other people. Some of the other people around the lake need to use the road to get to their cottages. About two months ago my parents noticed trees missing. They set up a hunting camera and it captured an unknown pickup truck with a cut up tree on its bed. The license plate was too blurry. Nevertheless they contacted the local police (OPP) and were put in touch with an officer who was going to "take over their case" He told them to put up signs, ask their neighbors, put up hunting cameras, and put up a gate. So they did. They put up a gate, unlocked, but will plan to put on a lock on it eventually after they hand out keys to all those who use the road. The gate is right at the edge of the property, blocking the dirt road that only goes through their peoperty. They put up more signs and more cameras. They captured the same truck. It just happened to stop in front of the new camera so the two people were clearly seen, plus the license plate of the truck and trailer, plus the fact that they were there for two hours, drove an ATV with small trailer into the woods, and came put with a cut up trees which they put on the pickup truck and drove away. I contacted the same officer and sent him the video and photos, but it's been a week and no response. None of their neighbors know who these people are. My question: what can they do next ? Should they go to the police station or keep trying to email the original officer? Are there any other steps to "get some justice" as my parents put it? Edit: to clarify, they have one gate right by their cottage, and a newer gate by the main road. [link] [comments]  |
| Tree Cutting Service Cut Tree at Wrong Address (My Address) in Missouri Posted: 08 Dec 2019 12:14 AM PST So here's the deal. I own a home in St. Louis County in Missouri that we use as a short term rental. We have security cameras outside. My family and I arrive for a long weekend at the place, only to discover that several branches of our very large, very mature, very nice tree have been chopped off all the way to the trunk, running the look. The tree is in the middle of the front yard and does not hang over power lines or even over the street. So I start looking at security camera footage and see a professional tree cutting service on them. About 20-25 minutes before the cuts happened, one of them knocked on my door. Other cameras saw one of their crew walking around my house. My suspicion is that they weren't sure which tree to cut, because none of the trees were marked and also because it would be really odd for anyone to want to cut any of the trees on the property. So I think they knew something was up and just did it anyway. So I called the company and asked if they had come to my address to cut trees. I told them I saw them on security footage at X date and time. They told me they had a work order for Y address. The first numbers at both places were the same, and both street names start with a D. But one is a masculine name while the other is feminine. And they're a half mile apart! And on cameras, it looked like a crew of 4-6. And the worst part? They didn't even leave a message to tell me "Oops, we fucked up. We will reimburse you.". If I didn't have the cameras, I never would have known, which is highly deceptive of them IMHO. And they had to know there was a problem if the actual customer called to ask why their tree wasn't cut. They've defaced my tree, driven down curb appeal, and wrecked a tree that I reckon is hardwood' (been trying to find an arborist or someone that can tell me the tree's value). What should I do? I want them to pay dearly! That tree was completely beautiful! I feel completely violated! Thank you so much in advance! I just don't know the best way forward. P.S. I'm so sorry for any typos. I typed this on a phone but will edit it as I find errors in spellings. [link] [comments]  |
| Wal-Mart says I owe them money Posted: 08 Dec 2019 12:23 PM PST In the summer of last year I worked at walmart. I quit early this year because me and my husband are now married and I was going to live with him in his new duty station in North Carolina. I ended up working for walmart again in October. Everything was fine but then my first check came in and it was $190 compared to the $330 it said i would be getting. When checking my paystub everything is accountee for like $41 for taxes and such. Then there is a section that says deductions and gives no information just says $140. I call walmart and they claim everything is correct (doubt they actually looked into it). So I let it go thinking maybe its a one time thing. Next check comes along and sure enough $170 deducted. I talk to the higher ups regarding pay and they claim that I was overpaid when i worked at walmart in 2018. I ask how much and they say they arent able to tell me. I ended up quitting. I talked to a lawyer and they said they couldnt help me but to contact the Labor law office. I contacted them and she said they are supposed to tell me or at least sign something informing me of the amount I was overpaid. She said somebody is taking the case and will launch an investigation. I will hear from them in about 6 months. Anyway...any other advice you can give me? [link] [comments]  |
| Ruined someone else's mail [OR] Posted: 08 Dec 2019 09:33 AM PST On Friday I got a letter in the mail addressed to someone else. They had the address correct but the name is not anyone that lives here. There is no return address. Its been sitting on my kitchen counter to remind me to send it back, but this morning I spilled my coffee all over it. Have I broken a law by accidentally wrecking the letter? Should I still attempt to send it back? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 07 Dec 2019 07:25 PM PST So I used to work for a clothing company, and I submitted several designs to them they rejected and never used. I have since quit, and started using the designs I made myself they didn't use. Recently they have contacted me threatening with a cease and desist. This is what my employment contract stated about non-compete/confidentiality.
None of the designs were made on company time or on company computers. The designs I'm currently using were designs they asked for when I started as a "baseline" for my work. They said if they liked them, they'd consider using them, but they never expressed interest in them. What can I do? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 08 Dec 2019 11:01 AM PST To make a long story short, we have a cello that my dad played on for most of his career that he's always said he would give to me when I go to college. I'm about to go to college and he's trying to back out (he no longer uses it for income) My mom still wants to give it to me. A few years back my dad sold the cello to a friend for 10,000 to put a down payment on a house and then had my mom take out a loan ONLY in her name to buy it back. He did that because he wasn't alowed to take out a loan for the down payment. Because the loan to buy the cello back was taken out only in my mom's name and she alone purchased the instrument and has been paying off the loan, is it her cello to give [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 08 Dec 2019 01:41 PM PST In June of 2018 my wife and I separated. I left the home and lived in a van for about 8 months. A few months ago, I was notified by her sister that my wife had moved to another state and abandoned the property. When I got here, it was a wreck. I got everything cleaned up and moved back in. Now, I contacted her about the back taxes. She had not paid the property taxes for last year or this year. During that conversation, she told me that I could not allow anyone else access to the property. How binding is that? If I have people in my home as guests, will I have legal trouble because of it? Can she charge others with trespassing? [link] [comments]  |
