    Legal Advice [CA] Husband (CNA) called into work and they are threatening abandonment

    Legal Advice [CA] Husband (CNA) called into work and they are threatening abandonment


    [CA] Husband (CNA) called into work and they are threatening abandonment

    Posted: 02 Aug 2020 07:22 AM PDT

    We are in California. My husband has been working at a long term care facility for over 2 years as a CNA. They have had no covid patients at his facility and have them all at a secondary facility.

    A CNA tested positive for Covid on 7/29. They don't have any plans in place when this happens, except to tell everyone to get tested, but then still come to work as you wait 7-10 days for the Covid results. There was an outbreak at his work on Friday, with 5 residents now testing positive for Covid and a dozen others with symptoms. The residents showing symptoms were not isolated until after 24 hrs of symptoms.

    My husband was scheduled to work 8/1-8/3. And his friend working on 7/31 told him to call in as it was mass chaos. The most PPE they had on was a flimsy face mask, not even N-95s. They have 1 face shield for the whole facility and barely any gowns.

    I'm 28 weeks pregnant and overweight. Along with other issues I'm very immunocompromised. I haven't really left my house since lockdown began in March, except for Drs appointments. Not even to the grocery stores.

    My husband has plenty of PTO saved. So, we thought it was best he called off for these 3 days this week and hopefully by next week his facility would have isolation/proper PPE to deal with Covid. And if anything we ordered our own N-95s, surgical mask, and face shield for him to bring and wear at work for next week. But these items won't get here for a few days.

    However, his work sent him a text message saying that they might have to move forward to writing a complaint to the board of nursing for abandonment. But, he called in a day early, never clocked in on 8/1 and never accepted any patients. So, how could they file abandonment charges when he never accepted patients?

    (He can not isolate from me. As we live in a studio apartment and we live paycheck to paycheck, so we can't get a motel. If he caught it, I'd definitely get it.)

    Buying property with neighbors fence already on it (NY)

    Posted: 02 Aug 2020 04:57 AM PDT

    I'm interested in buying a small empty lot between my house and my neighbors house. This lot is owned by the county and apparently has been available to purchase for many years. It would come with a "quit-claim deed" and has many warnings that it's sold "as is" and the buyer must "do all research." I haven't had a survey done yet, but I am 99% sure that about 10 years ago my neighbors built their fence 10-20ft into this vacant lot, extending their own backyard. If pony up the dough for a survey, and it shows that their fence is indeed on the lot, will I run into legal trouble if I buy the land and tell them to move their fence? Adverse possession and all that? Second question, if I'm OK with them keeping their fence there (I plan to use the lot for parking and don't need the piece they've "claimed") do I need some kind of agreement to prevent adverse possession? Thank you!

    Wife pulled loaded gun on me.

    Posted: 01 Aug 2020 07:03 PM PDT

    I live in Ohio.

    As the title suggests, my wife pulled a (loaded) gun on me in front of our child and threatened to shoot me if I called CPS about her smashing her phone in a fit of rage with a hammer in front of our daughter. (we had a prior incident a few months ago where I declined to press charges involving a hammer).

    Basically, she ran into the bedroom as I was trying to call, pulled the gun out and loaded it and came after me pointing it and telling me I won't call CPS. I called 911 instead, while I tried running away and her putting a gun to my head and trying to take my phone. She's in jail, needless to say.

    I called the county jail to see what charges she had on her and they told me this.

    Domestic Violence; Improper handling of a weapon while intoxicated; Disorderly conduct

    Now to the question, she has a lot of mental illnesses that obviously all snapped due to Covid, the news coverage etc, however, I've been dealing with this for a long time and next time I'm a disabled vet myself (need an assistive device to walk) and I'm seriously worried I may get killed or a stray bullet will hit my daughter.

    I feel like these charges are relatively light (relative to felonious assault etc.) and will not retain her in custody to get the help she needs (in a mental hospital). Is there anything I can do, provide evidence etc. that will not only keep us safe but also get her mandatory in-patient care?

    Typing on my phone, obviously frazzled still (been a couple days) etc. sorry for any typos or formatting issues in advance.

    Neighbor hit my car and is trying to get out of it.

    Posted: 02 Aug 2020 04:38 AM PDT

    Hello all, posting this for friend of mine. About a week ago my friend's neighbor backed into her car with her SUV. The wheel of my friend's car is pushed in and possibly not drivable. My friend's father witnessed it through the window of their house. The neighbor then came over to apologize after it happened and admitted hitting the car. While apologizing she stated that she knows of a mechanic that can fix the car and did not want to go through insurance. My friend's father stated that they would like to go the insurance route. The neighbor wouldn't provide the insurance information and stated that they had somewhere to be and came back later that day in the evening. My friend waited for them to come by to provide the insurance information but since they didn't my friend and her sister went to the neighbor's house about 45 mins later to get it. At this point the neighbor became very defensive and had a nasty attitude. She provided my friend with their insurance information and pointed to the part of her vehicle that hit my friend's car stating the make and model of the vehicle after my friend asked for details. My friend and the neighbor have Geico. My friend called Geico shortly but since no agents answered after waiting for several minutes of ringing she hung up and called again the next day and was able to report the incident providing the make, model and tag of the vehicle that struck her car. Apparently, the neighbor contacted Geico beforehand, and told them they didn't hit my friend's car, and that they were intimidated by my friend and that is why they provided the insurance information. My friend called police but the officer unfortunately said they should've called right when it happened. Also, the neighbor cleaned the spot on their vehicle where their bumper struck my friend's car, and when the neighbor submitted a picture to Geico, they submitted a picture of a completely different SUV and not the one that struck my friend's car! The Geico agent didn't even check if the pictures and tag of the vehicle sent by the neighbor is from the same vehicle my friend had reported to Geico. They also didn't even send out an appraiser to check both vehicles. Friends have asked other neighbors to see if they have cameras, no dice. The person who hit my friend's car is clearly committing some form of fraud, but it's a their word against the neighbor's word type of situation. How should my friend proceed with this?

    Wedding Venue forcing postponement and requiring a new, more strict contract. (This goes a bit deeper than the FAQ in this subreddit about weddings)

    Posted: 02 Aug 2020 02:00 AM PDT

    Context: my fiancé and I signed a contract with a wedding venue in California. Due to Covid-19, we have been forced to move our wedding to family property with ~30 guests. The event at the venue is tentatively postponed to our would-be 1 year anniversary.

    So, I know a refund is pretty much unattainable at this point. My wedding was scheduled for October of this year, but our venue is unable to provide the service on this date. The original contract mentions that we can't postpone the event or receive any refunds for any reason. They've since said we CAN postpone at no charge. Despite the virus forcing the closure of the venue, they told me on the phone that the company sees that the fault of any cancellation due to Covid-19 falls on us, because they have now loosened up a bit and allowed postponement. We signed an addendum that stated we can transfer any paid amounts ($4300 at this point) towards the new date.

    We picked the new date and received an updated contract to sign...but it is significantly larger than the first one. There are approximately 6 more pages on this contract than on the first and it's full of new restrictions and rules. Most of these new rules list several events, including pandemics, that are ineligible for any sort of refund. I'm active duty military, and they even go so far as to say that any military orders for deployment, temporary duty assignments, or permanent changes of station do not qualify for a refund. There are several other changes, including raising the minimum price of the event from $5,000 to $7,000, because $7,000 was their planned rate for 2021.

    My question is: why are they able to impose so many new restrictions, rules, and even fees because, in their words, "they went above and beyond to allow postponements at no charge" even though this situation is not our (the customers) fault? I understand Covid-19 is not their fault either, but since when does the financial burden lie on the customer in such a crazy situation? Isn't such a risk incurred on business owners when they open in the first place? They are not even able to hold services on our original date, so they wouldn't be making money for that date anyway if we never signed with them. Because of that, it feels like they're passing over the financial hit to us. What steps should we take before signing this contract? Do we have any legal footing here to try and renegotiate this contract? Their implication is that if we don't accept their terms regarding postponement, we elect to cancel the event, breaching the contract, and then still owe full payment.

    Before I end this post, I wanted to add a couple of the new rules:

    The new contract also says that "Force Majeure" is NOT grounds for refunds. This includes "acts of god." Which, as written, means that even if a meteor falls and destroys the venue we STILL wouldn't get a refund.

    The contract imposes a "mediation-first process" meaning that we must attempt mediation before seeking an attorney. We would split mediation costs with the venue 50/50, and if it doesn't work we can then lawyer up. Contract also says the party that loses the case has to pay the "reasonable attorney fees" of the other party. To me this translates almost as a threat or a challenge.

    Obviously, this is a big company and thus has the resources to destroy us in a legal battle, so I don't want it to come to that. I honestly just want some more input here, are we SOL? Should we just count several thousand dollars as a loss? I know that so many other couples are going through this, and unfortunately it seems like a lot of these venues legally have the upper hand. But just because you're legally in the right, doesn't mean you are morally in the right. They can still be a dick even if they're a legal dick.

    Apologies if this got rambley/ranty, this is stressing me out. Thanks in advance for any and all replies, comments, or insights. Even if it's to tell me to suck it up.

    Landlord broke the lease

    Posted: 02 Aug 2020 05:38 AM PDT

    On the day before our new lease was supposed to start, we received an email with the following text. "Hello All, Unfortunately the type of paint we use for your unit was ordered incorrectly so we still want to provide you with an enhanced and fresh living space so the painting of your apt. will need to be completed in the next few days. Of course we will be in touch to discuss which apt.'s will be done and when so we can ensure your belongings are protected and safe during the process. We sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding!"

    I can not afford a hotel for tonight/last night and will be sleeping in my car, I will need to rent my storage unit for an additional month, and I had assignments for work delayed due to not being able to move in to my apartment on the date the lease was supposed to start. I sent an email with this information, to which they didn't respond. They are only responding to one of my roommates, who is staying at home with her parents for the time being. We are from Iowa. How can I ensure I get enough financial compensation as a result of them breaking the lease?

    Wrong wedding dress

    Posted: 02 Aug 2020 06:02 AM PDT

    Hi all!

    So basically around a year ago I went shopping for my wedding dress and found the one I wanted and on the day paid in full. Later in the year my relationship broke down and the wedding ended up being cancelled. At the time I contacted the dress shop and asked if I could be refunded as it had not yet been made anyway and I no longer needed it. They claimed they had a no refund policy and I would still have to take the dress from them at a later date nearer to the time. So fast forward to last week when I finally go to pick up my dress from them and upon getting it home and trying it on to take pictures for selling it, I've realised it's not the same dress I originally ordered. I'm now wondering where I stand legally in terms of being refunded due to them giving me a different dress? It has similarities to the one I had chosen but is definitely not identical. Thanks in advance for any advice! And I'm a bit lost with Reddit but I can try to attach a side by side of both dresses to show the differences if need be.

    (CA) My car was hit and the other party's Insurance won't work with me unless I drive drive 20 miles to a cheaper area despite my living in a densely populated area with numerous body shops.

    Posted: 02 Aug 2020 11:06 AM PDT

    Insurance company refuses to send out an adjuster and they wouldn't provide a body shop in Fremont, CA or the surrounding cities for me to go to for an estimate/ adjuster service and they wouldn't take any action unless I drive 20 miles to their approved body shop in San Jose, CA, then they let me know that I had by law three years to finalize my claim and they left it at that. End of discussion unless I drive to San Jose.

    In Fremont, CA there numerous auto body shops in this city of 230k people, in addition to the surrounding cities with numerous body shops.

    I'm been thinking about taking the cash rather than having the vehicle repaired but any cash payout is now based on that substantially lower amount (30% because CA rates are governed by ZIP code) and that amount only, they won't even look at the estimates I've obtained locally.

    Do I really have to spend my time and money driving a total of 40 miles to a cheaper area to save the other party's insurance while reducing my pay out?

    Can an employer legally prevent you from riding a bike/skateboard to work?

    Posted: 02 Aug 2020 08:57 AM PDT

    TLDR: My employer had everyone sign an agreement which disallows the use of "personal transportation devices" such as electric skateboards and scooters for business use or commuting to and from work. Is that legally enforceable?

    So my company is based in NYC. Most of my department operates in the field and commute to and from various work sites in the city. One of us started riding an electric skateboard, and I as well as one other decided to jump on the bandwagon. It was awesome while it lasted, I would take a regional rail into the city and then ride to wherever my jobsite was for the day, sometimes going to multiple sites in a day before heading back to the rail and going home. My mood, productivity and efficiency was never better, being able to avoid traffic and the subway. Obviously, when weather didn't cooperate I wouldn't ride.

    One of us who rode a board got hurt whilst riding to the rail from a job site, and when the company got wind of it they rolled out a policy which we all had to sign which bans the use of "personal transportation devices", and names electronic skateboards by name. Is this actually enforceable? My feeling, as well as some other workmates, is that this was done for fear of lawsuit, since if we cause an injury to someone while riding these things the company could be liable for injury and damages. It seems unfair to me. Appreciate any and all input here.

    Is there a way to make sure my cat is taken care of if something happens to me?

    Posted: 02 Aug 2020 09:33 AM PDT

    I'm in Texas, US.

    I walked by an animal adoption place yesterday and saw a cat that was just taken in. She was 7 years old, very sweet, and her owner just passed away.

    That got me thinking. If something happened to me, my cat's future will be uncertain, and the idea is heartbreaking. I have no family and a very limited number of friends.

    I'd basically like to set up a fund that would pay for any expenses related to her, and a stipend of a couple hundred a week to whoever takes care of her, assuming she's provided with excellent living conditions and care.

    Do I just go in and talk to a lawyer? And are they able to enforce it?

    Our landlord is trying to force us out and get us sick in the process (FL)

    Posted: 02 Aug 2020 10:09 AM PDT

    My mother, brother, and I , were supposed to be moving this year after my brothers graduation, obviously with everything going on and because we live in Florida, the new covid hotspot, lots of things have changed and in fact his graduation was actually only 2 weeks ago. From what I understand my mom and landlord agreed that we'd move out in September, because he wants to sell his house. Well 3 weeks ago our landlord sent us a text in a group chat stating that we had the option of either packing up our things into the garage so that he could take pictures of the house or be out in 30 days. We ofc agreed to pack because we had to anyway but it seemed like a rude ultimatum.

    We cleaned up and last week he and his realtor were supposed to be coming to take pictures of the place. They still haven't taken pictures, though they let themselves in and woke us up 3 days ago to tell us they're letting someone do an open house and they needed us to leave while they're viewing. We were upset as we cleaned up and scurried out within the 2 hour time frame he gave us. We thought it'd just be this one family but now every day he's texted us about another family wanting to do an open house. I just woke up 40 minutes ago to a call from my brother saying to check my texts, today he texted us saying THREE families are coming over in an hour to see the house and that this will be over after he finds a buyer. He's added his realtor to our group chat and whenever I ask if they've taken pictures for the listing so they can do that instead they stop responding or skip over me. I texted the chat this morning stating that the open houses are a danger to our health and he said, "If you're concerned, you should leave home before they arrive or ask them to wear masks." Where does he expect us to go? Do we sit in our cars?

    We get it, he's overdo on selling his house and wants to sell it as quickly as possible after we're gone, but it seems like he's ignoring all the safety rules here and basically telling us to do what he wants or get out, which is scary considering my mother has stage 4 cancer, I have heart problems, and my brother has asthma, and we actually don't even have another house set up after this yet, it's been insane trying to find somewhere during this, especially with the financial issues we're facing already because my mom is fully disabled but then also because we aren't working due to the virus. This alone has had my anxiety going ballistic, causing my heart to act up, I was at 160bpm last night freaking out that we have no where to go. I guess big question here to this is, what rights do we have as renters and would he have to evict us if he wants us out of his way before we find a house?

    Not really an update but I had to stop writing because a group of people just walked into my house while I was absolutely butt naked. My landlord put a lockbox on the door and now real estate agents and families just walk into whats still our home without knocking or anything. They actually got upset with me because I didn't open my room door because I WAS NAKED and didn't hear them come in (my fan is loud).

    [UPDATE] Local businessowner attacks women with power drill to groin. How is this not a crime?

    Posted: 02 Aug 2020 12:53 PM PDT

    Idk if anyone would care about this, but I wanted to post an update anyways because it's good news. Original post was here. This happened in Wisconsin.

    Basically, almost 2 years ago, my family member was attacked with a power drill by a bar owner. He was trying to flirt with her (she was not interested) and then "jokingly" thrust a running power drill into her genital area. She pushed his hand away, and so he drilled through her jeans into her inner thigh instead. Instead of immediately stopping, he continued drilling and the drill bit penetrated her jeans, penetrated her skin, and also burned her badly enough to require treatment from the burn clinic, and caused nerve damage. She got an infection from the wound as well. (Pics are on the old post) The nurses at the hopsital had encouraged her to report the incident to police, and she did the next day, especially because there were numerous witnesses present for this entire incident who were horrified and wanted to make a statement.

    The police officer who responded seemed indifferent and even hostile towards her reporting this right off the bat, and he refused to see the wound or even a picture of it. He wasn't willing to speak to any witnesses. He did go and speak with the bar owner, who admitted to doing all of this, and claimed it was "an accident", and that he would pay her medical bills. (Spoiler alert: He did not.) The officer deemed this answer satisfactory, and went back to tell my cousin that "because alcohol was involved" (owner was sober, she had 1 drink, no one was intoxicated?), that nothing could be done and that she was banned from the bar for life. That was the end of that, or so we thought....

    Now for the update: Out of the blue in early 2020, my cousin gets a phone call from an FBI agent. I don't know how this works, but apparently our local PD has an FBI agent who comes in a couple days a week and works on or reviews stuff? Anyways, the bar owner was being investigated for separate, unrelated sex crimes, and the FBI agent came across the report my cousin had made against him. She asked my cousin what had happened, and she told her. The agent was shocked and appalled, she said because NONE OF THAT was in the officers police report. Nothing whatsoever about this guy taking a power drill to her groin. She told the FBI lady that she had very thorough documentation, pictures, and medical records from this incident, as well as a dozen witnesses, and the agent had her send it all to her and set up a meeting the following week to discuss.

    When they sat down the following week, she told her that what had happened to her was most definitely a crime, possibly even a sex crime. The witnesses confirmed her account, and were willing to testify in court. The officer who had blown her off was reprimanded and disciplined for his inaction, and tried to defend himself by claiming, "I didn't know her wound was that bad", to which the FBI agent asked him, "Why did you refuse to look at her wound or pictures of it?" Anyways, the FBI lady took this case to the district attorney, who agreed to file charges.

    The bar owner has since been arrested and charged with the following:

    2nd Degree Reckless Injury - Felony.

    4th Degree Sexual Assault - Misdemeanor.

    Disorderly Conduct- Misdemeanor.

    4th Degree Sexual Assault - Misdemeanor.

    4th Degree Sexual Assault - Misdemeanor.

    4th Degree Sexual Assault - Misdemeanor.

    4th Degree Sexual Assault - Misdemeanor.

    Stalking - Felony.

    His tavern license was revoked, his bar was shut down, and has since been sold. The case is delayed due to COVID, but they did arrest and charge him finally. This guy also sexually assaulted other women, both before and after this incident (he has prior disorderly conduct convictions and many restraining orders from women against him). These other charges include "allegedly" cornering a female bartender and demanding she give him oral sex--at which point she just ran screaming out of the place. He "accidentally" poured hot candle wax down a female patrons shirt, burning her breasts. He "accidentally" set thumb tacks on a womans chair as she sat down, and violently cornered and groped another bartenders genitals, and then stalked her mercilessly, smashed out her windows, slashed her tires, etc., until he was finally caught on video stalking her.

    It never sat well with me that the police blew this off, especially knowing his prior history, and hearing stories about him abusing other women. Obviously, this guy was escalating, probably because he never faced consequences for his actions before. I'm glad to say he will finally face justice for his crimes, thanks to the actions of this FBI agent.

    [NY] Building charging me $10,000 to move out

    Posted: 01 Aug 2020 04:24 PM PDT

    Location NYC

    I rent a co-op apartment in NYC directly from the owner of the unit. The co-op rules say that the owner of a unit cannot rent out their apartment for more than 2 years in any rolling 3 year period. At the end of the month it will be 2 years, so the building is not allowing me to renew my lease with the owner. That is fine, and I'm happy to move out and continue my life.

    However, the building sent out a memo back in April that said until further notice, the fee to to move in or out is changed from $200 to $10,000 due to the covid-19 protections they would have to take.

    $10,000 i basically all my savings, I don't want to pay that insane amount of money. Is there anything I can do here?

    My ex-husband essentially stole my $1200 stimulus payment and won't/can't pay me back. Shouldn't I be entitled to my half?

    Posted: 02 Aug 2020 11:41 AM PDT

    So my ex and I split a year ago, and in 2019 we both filed as Married Filing Separately since the divorce wasn't finalized yet. But for 2018, we filed jointly. When the first round of stimulus payments were disbursed, it was based off 2018's return and he had the $2400 deposited into his account back in April. He never told me this, and I assumed my payment was delayed since I had to file a paper return (well before the COVID lockdown btw). I finally was able to contact an IRS agent to see what was going on and I found out that he had received my check. Now I'm worried he will receive my next stimulus check (if Congress passes it) and do the same thing.

    So I contacted him and told me that he owes me $1200. He said that he spent it already and is also currently unemployed. What can I do?

    I'm located in Indiana btw

    Fiance has to pay his mother’s debt?

    Posted: 02 Aug 2020 01:01 PM PDT

    This year my fiancé's taxes were garnished for a mysterious reason. When we call to find out, we're told that he's literally paying for a LARGE debt his MOM owes the government for money she got when he was a child to took take care of him I guess, and they said they're going to keep garnishing it unless someone sets up a payment plan. Is this legal? How can they take money from us for money his mother got when he was just a child? What can we do?

    How Should I Proceed if my Ex Husband Doesn’t Uphold Our Divorce Agreement?

    Posted: 02 Aug 2020 05:37 AM PDT

    Location: Tennessee.

    My uncontested divorce was finalized in June, and in our marital dissolution agreement, there is a clear statement that he has 90 days to refinance his car or otherwise remove my name from the loan. This is the last thing still binding us in any way, and while he is making his payments per our agreement, I know that he's lazy and procrastinates and probably hasn't made an attempt to refinance as of yet.

    My issue is what actions do I take if he does not have his car refinanced by the end of this 90 day period? My expectation is that he will wait until some time during the last month and make a half-assed attempt to refinance either with a lender who will decline him, or he won't do everything he needs to do to complete the refinancing process with a lender that will accept him.

    I know that for him to be in contempt of court, he must be willfully defying our divorce agreement. I fear that if he presents evidence of his lazy attempts to refinance, the court will deem it an acceptable effort to comply and I'll be out whatever money I spend on taking him to court.

    How can I ensure he complies with our agreement? What would courts actually consider an "honest effort" to uphold our agreement? Would one half-assed attempt be enough to get him off the hook? Would he be asked to answer for why the process is incomplete if that situation occurs?

    [VA] The new home we are renting has a massive flea infestation

    Posted: 02 Aug 2020 11:27 AM PDT

    Hi, My roommate and I moved into a home mid July. We quickly found out the house is infested with fleas. The management company has paid for an exterminator to come out and exterminate, but still the fleas persist. This has been going on for 2 weeks now and you can't go in the common areas still without getting bitten. The bedrooms seem to be mostly better now. Do we have options to get money back on rent? Or do we need to keep living like this until the exterminators(coming back next week) can properly handle it?

    NY state - other parent refusing to hand over child to sole parent

    Posted: 02 Aug 2020 10:23 AM PDT

    New York

    My ex husband and I have a custody agreement in place concerning our three year old daughter.

    I just recently moved in with a boyfriend. Ex husband doesn't like that I moved in with a boyfriend, and decided that he also didn't like that the boyfriend had once changed a diaper under my supervision, and decided that makes the boyfriend a pedophile.

    He decided that when his custody time (which ends at 6:00 PM on Sunday evenings, every other weekend) ends tonight, he is not giving me the child to take to my new home with boyfriend.

    I've decided to call the police department and go with custody order in hand to regain my child. I do realize I'll have to file that he's in contempt of the agreement we've had in place for two years now.

    What am I to expect tonight? Will the police be compliant in me getting to leave with my child? Or am I looking more at starting a paper trail for when I file that he's in contempt of the order tomorrow?

    Any advice helps, thank you.

    Mother withholding food stamps, I live alone

    Posted: 02 Aug 2020 09:00 AM PDT

    So last year when I was staying with a relative to help them out with their house payments after they split and kicked out their SO, I discovered through my sister's call with my mother that my mom has me on her food stamps so she doesn't have to do community service as she is jobless.

    Ok so here is where the illegalness of the story takes hold. You see, she has a job but apparently she is keeping it under the table for more Snaps, like I said above she only recently added me on (in 2019 according to the records online is when she added me back and I moved into my sisters 3 months after the listed date) I have not lived with my mother since 2018.

    Before this I lived with her in 2017 and she took me off her foodstamps for getting my first ever job she literally had a panic attack over losing her foodstamps.. She called them up and with me standing in the room she loudly exclaimed that I don't live with her. I was told by 2 other relatives on my mother's side to just ignore it and not take it to heart but they seemed actually pretty upset about it themselves.

    Fast forward and I got my first place in spring of 2020, I sign up for food stamps putting my current/change of address at the start of summer and patiently wait for the 7th of July when I will be receiving a small sum.

    On the 6th my mom visits and brings me her favorite food and asked if I was low on food I told her I had just went to the store and bought some breakfast items and soups. (Trying to save on money) she then hands me the small bag and told me she was just stopping by to see if I had enough food and she left. I thought that was a little strange but blew it off and went to play a game on my xb360.

    I checked the site yesterday as im really extremely low on funds recently due to some bills and was wondering whatever happened to the stamps. Turns out my mom was able to cancel the change of address on the 6th of July and what is worse is she has it set to a house that she herself has not lived in, in over 2 year now. This is fraud but I do not want to turn her in as she may get arrested and lose my two littlest brothers.

    One of which was once a problem child until he and his mom were able to.move out of that hostile environment and I don't want him to revert if he gets sent to live with strangers as he is in his teens and I worry for both my baby brothers health as the other is rather shy but gets easily agitated.

    I am the type that worries over others more than myself which isn't always the best thing but even I know when I am being wronged and I need these food stamps to get by.

    What should I do?

    This is in the state of Indiana by the way.

    Tl;dr My mom has a job and I have not lived with her in years, she told FoodStamps I live with her and that she doesnt have a job which is a total lie and she canceled my change of address i sent in. Indiana.

    Roommate threatened my life and forced me to give her all I had in my bank ($1100) via cashapp

    Posted: 02 Aug 2020 11:41 AM PDT

    So my roommate's ex broke in and (supposedly) stole thousands of dollars of clothes. I called cops while in progress but stayed out of it. He was gone before cops showed.

    Roommate came home early in the morning, kicked my door in and threatened to beat/shoot/kill me unless I reimbursed her 5000. I told her I don't have that money right now and she said give me all you have. I don't fight people as a rule, but our other roommate/her BF was there and I know he has a gun so I gave in and emptied my bank card (1100).

    I filed a police report and left, but is there any chance I can dispute through cashapp? I'll be filing a criminal complaint on monday. What is the likely result of this?

    Philadelphia, PA for reference

    F14 was raped and the videos are all over PornHub and other sites.

    Posted: 02 Aug 2020 12:53 PM PDT

    I'm writing this for my younger sister.

    This happened in Pennsylvania though we live in Canada.

    When my now 19y/o sister was at a party with our cousin, she was drugged and raped at 14 while being recorded. The man then posted the video onto PornHub, which none of us knew about, and was reposted there and several other porn sites.

    Her boyfriend found it a week ago after his brother mentioned it looked a lot like her when she was that age. It also shows he face of the rapist, and two of his friends in the background.

    Our cousins lives in Pennsylvania and we were visiting when this happened, we currently live in Toronto.

    Is there anyway to get the videos removed? I know they're probably out there forever because it's the internet, but one of the videos has over 40k views and is very obviously her.

    Also, can we use the video to find her rapist and get him arrested/in legal trouble?

    Sorry for any errors, it's been a hard week and I'm still shaking while writing this.

    Renting - How to document move-in photos with timestamp without sending them to landlord? [VA]

    Posted: 02 Aug 2020 11:27 AM PDT

    I'm moving into a new place(renting), and I've taken lots of photos of the existing damage. I'd like to save these somewhere with a record that shows they were taken before moving in, but I don't want to send them to the landlord in case there is a dispute about the deposit (landlords in my area are notorious for keeping the entire deposit, and I don't want to give them any ammunition by mistake).

    What is the best way to save/store the photos in a way that provides good evidence that they were taken before I moved in, rather than after? I assume exif data is not sufficient.
