    I'm a teacher. The principal and superintendent are upset I "went outside the chain of command" emailing the school board my concerns about Covid policy. (AZ)

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 06:34 AM PDT

    I teach in Arizona at a public high school. We had a student test positive for Covid. The school sent a letter home from the county health department. It told families that someone at the school tested positive for Covid but their child wasn't exposed because they were not within 6 feet for more than 15 minutes. Students sitting near the infected student were not socially distanced in the classroom, and thus were exposed; but we sent a letter home to the contrary.

    The principal and I talked about our mutual issues with the verbiage. When I got home I emailed the board my concerns, included the superintendent in the email, and then immediately forwarded the email to my principal to keep him in the loop.

    I got an email back from the principal telling me I went outside the chain of command and made a bad decision that we would talk about Monday. He included the superintendent in his email to me.

    I've been teaching for twelve years. Zero issues between three districts, and then now this.

    1) They can't fire me for privately telling the board my opinion, right?

    2) How do I handle the meeting on Monday?

    I have a wife, and two kids under four. I'm worried.

    Could I sue my father for my college money?

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 08:56 AM PDT

    Potentially misleading title, but my parents divorced a few years ago. My father neglected to pay child support, so my mother took him to court and spiced it up. In the decree, he was ordered to pay 33% of college tuition for both me and my sister. We are both now enrolled in college, of which he has been informed, and when my mother asked him for his share, he claimed he did not have the money nor was he obligated to pay it because me and my sister were not speaking with him (which is no issue in the decree, as he was stripped of all custody). Because he has openly refused to pay what a judge had ordered him to pay, would I have cause to take him back to court?

    EDIT: I live in Indiana, sorry for not including this.

    [TX] Neighbor's goat got out and I put it with my goats. Neighbor isn't coming.

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 06:28 AM PDT

    Both I and my neighbor have the same breed of pigmy goats. One of his goats got out and was trying to get into my pen. I called the neighbor and he asked if I could hold it until he has a chance to grab it.

    The goat has now been in my pen for 3 months. Neighbor keeps saying he'll come get it and never does and I need to get rid of it as it's causing problems with my heard. I have been feeding it and taking care of it as if it was my own since I got it.

    What rights do I have to sell it or give it away? I am done waiting.

    My assailant moved into my apartment complex.

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 08:03 AM PDT

    I (f22) found out yesterday that the man (m28) who sexually assaulted and stalked me two years ago moved into the building directly behind mine in my apartment complex. I live in Kansas City.

    Two years ago, I reported him through the Title IX office at our university. While the investigation was taking place, he started following me around campus, to the grocery store, to coffee shops. It got to a point where I was seeing him 6 or 7 times a day and I didn't even want to leave my house. I obtained a No Contact Directive through the school, stating that he was not to continue following me or contacting me, or an immediate ex parte would be granted. He stopped following me after that. He was found to be in violation of the school's Code of Conduct and was put on probation. I ended up having to drop down to a part-time schedule to avoid taking a class with his mother, who was the head of my major's department at the time.

    Now, I have started seeing him all around me again, starting about four months ago. He was jogging past my apartment while I was taking my dog out in the grassy area in front of the building. We didn't make eye contact, so I was hoping he didn't see me. Then, he started taking runs around my apartment building frequently, and I tried to convince myself that it may just be a coincidence, because the area that I live in is not exactly secluded- in fact, it is one of the busier areas of KC, with lots of shops and restaurants. I didn't see him for about a month, and then yesterday walked out of the front door to the parking lot to find him just standing there, staring at me. I said "I'm calling the f**king cops" and he got in a car and left. The people in his building have an entrance on a different street, with a back parking lot that is shared with my building (the spots in this lot are reserved and I do have one that he is able to see from his apartment). He did not have any reason to be directly outside of my apartment building, or even in that parking lot. At this time, I did not know he lived here.

    I don't think it is a coincidence anymore, and am at a loss. I went to the police station afterwards and filed reports with them for sexual assault and stalking. The next morning, I went to my leasing office and found out that he moved into the building right behind mine. I obtained his address and filed for an ex parte, and am waiting to hear back on whether or not it has been granted. The leasing manager of my apartment complex says there's nothing they can do for me and it's "not their job" to help me.

    I don't know what to do and any advice would be appreciated.

    Teacher Belittling Students for their Political Views [Chicago Suburbs, IL]

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 08:42 AM PDT

    I attend a private school in the suburbs of Chicago, which belongs to the Joliet Dioceses. My issue is that my English Lit teacher is actively persuading kids to agree with her political views. I would have an issue with this regardless of which "side" she was promoting.

    One student was talking about how he likes Biden's VP, to which she responded "Well, do you want someone who's actually qualified, or do you want a woman?" This isn't the first time she's made sexist comments and regularly calls women "weak" and "pathetic." She went on to talk about how superior Pence is. She spoke of how he should run for 2024 and we should vote for him then. She referred to the student as uneducated numerous times, simply for stating his own beliefs.

    My question is the following; are there any specific laws regarding teachers and political influence? I've heard rumors that there are, but I can't find anything online. It just doesn't sit well with me that she's manipulating students into thinking the way she does by shaming them.

    Thank you!

    What are my rights to stop an adoption as the father if the mother pursues that option? She is 8 months pregnant and doesn't want to be a mother.

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 11:02 AM PDT

    Hello, back in march I had a pre-COVID lockdown fling with a woman. As soon as we returned from a camping trip the California statewide COVID lockdown took effect and in April I got a call from that woman informing me that she is pregnant and I am going to be a father. Shaken, I immediately offered my support, as I was ultimately ready to be a father. I am truly excited to be a dad. She was not not on the same page, and said she needed space, which I gladly gave her. This was understandable and for the next few months she sent me photos of the ultrasound photos and brief updates about our daughter, but her responses were usually short and it was clear that she didn't want to chat. But, she also began a monthly pattern of one day texting, then wanting to call, then FaceTime the next, followed by a few weeks of silence.

    I continued to offer support and expressed my want to be involved in any part of the process that she would allow, whether that be driving her to her appointments or helping her setup a nursery. (We are both living with other people, her-parents, me-friends. But, she said she has a nursery space at her parent's where she lives.) It was clear that her and I were not going to become involved and raise the child together, so co-parenting seemed like the best option and I decided to move closer to her once the baby was born. She is 50 miles away and I have hopes of a joint physical custody arrangement so I was going to move to a neighboring community.

    At one point she mentioned adoption, but I fully objected and honestly didn't think much of it since she had also mentioned her and I co-parenting, me taking full custody, and her being the primary parent with me only having visitation. I simply chalked all this up to uncertainty and her being fearful of what this would look like to her religious (Adventist) community. I thought this was all understandable as she was simply stressed from the pregnancy. But, one common theme that kept recurring was that she didn't want to be a mother. Her words, not mine.

    The first week of October, I reached out and asked if we could chat on the phone sometime that week. She said she was busy but could talk after the 27th because she was at a "medical conference" with "poor reception". I was not happy with that there was ten days or so before her upcoming blackout and I was simply asking that we setup a time to discuss a parenting plan as the baby was two months away and I had been asking for this. After much back and forth, she calls and explains that she is having a hard time emotionally and is going into a "counseling facility" not a conference and that she just accepted the pregnancy and that she is going to be a mother. She smooths everything over and that we could speak once she was out. To which I agreed.

    At that point, I thought we were on the same page. We finally had agreed that I could be there to hold the baby once she was born and that I could visit 2-3 days a week after she was home.

    But this week her and the counselor called and asked about adoption again. I again stated that I was against it and that I wanted to take custody and was fully ready and capable to take the baby and provide a home for her. They followed up with questions about how I would take care of her. As I am currently unemployed I understand where their position, but I also know that I will be able to find a job and provide for my daughter. We would go back and live with my mother until for now, where I have an extensive family.

    I am excited about having a child! She however is not and when I told her I want to raise our daughter this was her response, "however I am still thinking about her being a part of a family. I know that I have been confused and unsure, and also hesitant about being upfront because of your reaction, but it is still something I need to be transparent about. I understand that it may sound vague, but I would appreciate if you would respect my comfort level... I will still inform you of course, but adoption/your possibly raising her is part of the conversation tomorrow.."

    She has controlled this situation entirely and I don't trust her. I have a bad feeling that she is working with an adoption agency, and after reading the website of the Family Connections Christian Adoptions, I am nervous about my current position in this situation. I understand that the only ways to get paternity are to:

    1. file a VDOP (voluntary declaration of paternity) at the hospital or shortly thereafter, which we both must sign. (so my fear is that if she wants to exclude me she can simply not allow me there, or sign the form)
    2. Getting a court order. Either on my own, or with a lawyer, but I'd like to prepare before hiring one.

    There are services in place to help once the child is born, but at that point she could already be started with the adoption process.

    What do i do?!?!

    We are supposed to have a call at 4pm again today and part of my doesn't want to attend so that she doesn't have the opportunity to inform me of her decision to proceed with adoption. Something tells me my best move is to seek counsel, but where? SOS

    TL:DR What can I do to stop an 8-month pregnant (unmarried) mother of my child from giving the baby up for adoption?

    My neighbor ‘dry-fired’ his gun through my ceiling while intoxicated. Our safety feels comprised and we don’t feel comfortable living beneath him anymore, but we just resigned our lease. What are our options? [FL]

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 01:30 PM PDT

    Just over two weeks ago, my upstairs neighbor drunkenly fired his gun into our apartment, the bullet passing through the ceiling and ricocheting off a kitchen wall. He was attempting to clean and maintain the firearm, but didn't realize the magazine had a round in it when he performed a dry fire. I was home at the time, hard asleep, and didn't even realize what had happened until later that evening, when I discovered the hole, the bullet, and plaster scattered across the apartment. I immediately called 911, and the local sheriff's office responded.

    We learned from them that he had been drinking, and we were each interviewed separately by detectives while forensics conducted an investigation of our apartments. They decided not to arrest the neighbor or press charges despite his self-admitted intoxication -- which we later discovered was omitted from the police report -- due to a lack of intent and the fact that, fortunately, no one was hurt. In the weeks since, our rental agency has deferred to the apartment complex's HOA; however, the neighbor owns his unit, while we rent. The HOA has further decided not to pursue any action because he legally owns the firearm and no charges were filed.

    This being said, my girlfriend and I feel that our safety has been irreparably compromised. We have two cats, and I was in and out of the kitchen all afternoon prior to the incident, and any one of us could have been seriously injured or even killed. While we don't see much of the neighbor bc he travels for work, all of our other neighbors have openly talked of his drinking problems and we've witnessed him blackout drunk in social environments on more than one occasion. We're incredibly concerned about continuing to reside beneath him, as well as the fact that no one in our building thought to call 911, and unfortunately we just resigned our lease through next September. The neighbor has expressed remorse over the incident, but his apologies have done little to assaude us from our fears that such an event could very easily happen again.

    What actions, if any, can we take as far as getting out of our lease? We don't want to outright break it and are obviously concerned about losing our deposit as well as dinging our credit, not to mention being on the hook for rent payments, but we just don't feel safe living here anymore. Please help!

    As a Muslim, Nursing School is forcing me to shave my beard

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 12:09 PM PDT

    Throwaway for obvious reasons.

    I am a practicing Muslim and part of my faith requires me to grow my beard. The Nursing School that I applied to states that I must shave my beard as part of my clinical rotations. Their reason is that I must be clean shaven to ensure a proper seal of the N-95 respirator. However, they do offer an alternative respirator, the PAPR hood, for people whose face shape or facial hair does not allow a proper seal of the N-95 mask.

    Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination due to religion and reasonable accommodation must be made for sincerely held religious beliefs. As I can wear a PAPR in lieu of an N95, this religious belief does not constitute an undue hardship on the facility.

    A similar scenario occurred in the Staten Island University Hospital. A medical student was forced to shave. However, the Director of the HHS Office of Civil Rights stated that "Hospitals must continue to provide religious accommodations to their workers and patients during the pandemic."

    My question is: who can I take this to and what can I do about my situation?

    GF (29) went for colonscopy went under and awoke with a severely dislocated knee. In CA if that helps.

    Posted: 22 Oct 2020 10:11 PM PDT

    Happened Monday and we are still figuring things out.

    The TL/Dr is she went under anesthesia in a comfortable position and awoke with a dislocated knee and tons of pain, had to be taken to the ER to have it popped back into place. Doctors in the room said they aren't sure what happened and she's in a brace and crutches a for a week until an orthopedics can see her.

    What steps shoud we do next we already.

    1. Got reports showing she went in fine and came out with a dislocated knee.

    2. Talked to some lawyers about malpractice.

    3. Obtained written names and statements of doctors and nurses in the room when it happened.

    4. Been logging stuff with time stamps, photos and quotes.

    This is nuts but she can't work and is literally crippled by this for now. Her orthopedist appointment is this coming Monday.

    Please help to figure what to do because this is messed up and to me (a complete layperson in law) feels like malpractice. I mean how do you oopsie daisy an unconscious patient?

    Moving violation in NYC, unable to locate ticket to pay bc name & DOB were cited incorrectly. 2.5 years later, I get a letter saying my license has been revoked

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 11:15 AM PDT

    Musician from Massachusetts, playing a show in Brooklyn in February 2018. I was driving to manhattan at 2 am, en route to my room for the night. GPS led me to take a u turn, which was illegal, but being from out of town and anxious about getting lost (I've missed turns in NYC that turned into 45 min detours) I made the bad judgment call to take the u turn, and was pulled over and cited.

    2 weeks later, I'm home from tour, and jump online to pay the ticket. I was having trouble retrieving it on the database, so I called the number on the citation for assistance. The person who was helping me was also unable to retrieve the citation. Not sure on how to move forward, I assumed that maybe the information was never submitted.

    Months later, I get a notice stating that my license has been revoked in the state of NY. Looking at the letter, I realized why the ticket wasn't retrievable. My name is Hayley. The ticket cited "Harley". My birthday is on the 16th. The birthdate listed was the 22nd.

    I tried calling a handful of numbers online to find out what the appeal process was like but had no luck. I couldn't afford to pay the additional fines layered on top of the original citation, and didn't feel like it was fair since there was a mistake in the paperwork.

    Finally the mark on my otherwise clean record has caught up with me, and MA also revoked my license. Looking for advice - what are my options? Can I appeal 2 years later? Can NYPD be held accountable for the mistake in the citation? It just feels like the punishment is not proportionate to the offense but NYC DOESNT CARE ABOUT MY FEELINGS OR MY SHALLOW MUSICIAN POCKETS lol help!

    Won't attend a wedding I RSVPd too due to covid. They want to charge me for my plate.

    Posted: 22 Oct 2020 05:00 PM PDT

    In our area cases have been shooting up the last 2 weeks. I have an immune compromised wife due to multiple autoimmune disorders.

    In the end I decided she wouldn't attend but I would. To show support for the couple who I understood were in a difficult position (due to loss of LARGE deposits if they canceled, etc.)

    When I rsvpd things were better, new cases per day were quite low. Things have changed rapidly the last 2 weeks here.

    Just the last day or two our local health officer publicly stated not to attend weddings or funerals. Or anywhere with 6+ people from various different households. Along with a new record for new cases in 24 hrs.

    I told this person I could no longer attend, citing my wife as the reason.

    They have told me I may be charged for my plate if they can't fill my spot. I'm of the understanding the food may cost a substantial amount and am curious the legality of this.

    Edit: obviously I had planned on wearing a mask at all times. I also found out they will not be making masks mandatory at their event.

    Edit: removed some information, dont mind me lol

    Substitute teacher here. I found out I was lied to about my pay rate before taking the position.

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 01:44 PM PDT

    I'm a long term sub for a teacher with health problems working from home through Covid. I have worked in this position for about 2 months. In the past, I have worked as a regular sub, which is $70/day. When the assistant principal that offered me the position hired me, he told me that the position paid $100/day (via text message, with screenshots), which was the deciding factor in taking the long term position, with extra responsibilities from a regular sub.

    Today I received my paycheck and it was well short of what it should have been, so I contacted the assistant principal. When he called the administration, they told him that I was in a $70/day position, contrary to the rate AP and I had agreed upon over text (did not sign new contract, regrettably). After he cried in front of me in his office, they decided to give me back pay but that starting next Monday I would be cut to $70/day. Is there any recourse for me? I can't really quit because I need the job badly during Covid, but losing 30 percent of my pay sucks really bad.

    EDIT: Located in SC

    Friend thought insurance company covers rental cars, after she got into an accident, she found out they didnt

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 05:23 AM PDT

    Location: Ontario, Canada

    Hello, So my friend ended up in an accident a few weeks ago. (I was the passenger of the car). The front of the car was damaged a bit, but it was still drivable. Airbags deployed. They hadn't taken the liability insurance from the rental company because they had their own insurance for their actual car, and unfortunately didn't double check to ensure that it did cover unowned cars. They found out after the accident. Also, their credit card doesn't either.

    They gotten a bill from the rental car company which is literally the cost of the entire car... It was a FORD Explorer SUV and the "repair costs" came up to almost 50k CAD. The car wasn't totalled or wrecked. Literally just the front lights and bumper were busted, but it seems as though the entire car was written off for some reason.

    What can they do in this situation?

    Also, I'd appreciate if there were no comments asking why they didn't double check, or what they should have done before renting the car because it already happened and it won't be helpful in this case. They already had to hear alot of that.

    Getting a Restraining Order as a Minor

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 09:29 AM PDT

    My gf(17) was sexually assaulted by an adult man(19) when she was 14 years old. She got pregnant and had to have an abortion, but he and his mom pressured her in court to lie that he didn't do anything and she did. Ever since he's been stalking and harassing her and it's starting to get worse. But her mother is also abusive and doesn't believe the true story, so she would be unlikely to help her get a restraining order. I'm worried for her safety, he showed up at our date last night and had been watching for hours. Is there anything she can do to get legal protection from him, even if her mother is uncooperative? We're from California, btw.

    My Landlady says I'm being "clever" when it comes to heating bills.

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 10:23 AM PDT

    I live in a small disjointed apartment that used to be part of a bigger one, and is now roughly 1/3 of the other. The landlady (we'll call her Karen) owns both parts: the small one is rented to me, the big one to another guy, Kyle.

    When I first moved in two years a go, she promised me she would change the heater and boiler with a modern one, after I discovered that the one in the house was dangerous and old (from the 80s) and should have been changed (by law) years ago. Said heater is connected to both apartments but it's on Kyle's property, so he's the one that pays the bills, even if the accountholder for the gas bill is Karen's mom, so Kyle sends me the bills and I pay 1/3 to him.
    This heater heats both water and radiators in the house. In my contract, it ONLY states that I have to pay 1/3 of the overall monthly gas bill. That's it, there's no limit on the amount or anything of sorts.
    This is very important, so keep it in mind.

    After 2 years of renting, the heater and boiler finally gets replaced. For 2 whole years, I could have sued her because the contract stated that the heater was legal and adhered to law standards, but the technician's reports stated that the heater&boiler were NOT fine and had to be replaced ASAP.

    This morning, Kyle complained to me about the bills he was getting, saying that he was paying too much for them and that I used more than 1/3 of the hot water I'm paying for (he just complained about the amount of hot water, even when the bills include heating. He's not home most of the days and he keeps the heat ON).

    Little after that, the landlady wrote me about the whole thing, telling me that I'm being a smartass and trying to trick them, which is absolutely not what I am doing. She also threatened me that she would end my contract. On top of that, she said that the apartment I'm staying in is for just one person, implying that I can't let my girlfriend come over every now and then.
    When Kyle gets back home, he brings his girlfriend over - and the cops with him, which is a story for another day.

    I always paid on time, every single month, both rent and bills. I just kept pressuring her into replacing the boiler, which was super old, dangerous and EXTREMELY inefficient, which also explains why the bills got high so fast.

    I know legally she cannot terminate my contract, if Kyle and her are so upset about it, they have to go through the bureocracy to change the contract. They would have to make me sign it, but - for obvious reasons - I won't.

    Am I in any kind of legal trouble here? Are her actions legally accountable?

    P.S. I live in Italy, so I guess that changes things. Still, feel free to give me your opinion/advice on this.

    P.P.S. I feel like I need to add that they have no respect over my property, as it occurred multiple times that someone tried to open my main door "thinking it was a service room".
    One day, someone sent by the landlady unlocked the front door and got in my house with the landlady's keys. He was supposed to work outside my apartment, which doesn't explain why he had access to my apartment in the first place.

    I’m about 95% sure my coworker intentionally let air out of my tires because I’m leaving this job. The only reason I suspect him is because not even a week ago he told me how it’s not illegal to air out someone’s tires because nobody can own air, is this true?

    Posted: 22 Oct 2020 05:52 PM PDT

    I'm leaving for the navy and today when I had to take a day off work both my front air valves were missing the cap and all of my tires were low on air. This was the day after I let my work know of my plans.I can't see this as just a coincidence, because I believe this is something he would definitely do.

    [Nevada] Employer adding physical fitness test to a desk position.

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 08:05 AM PDT

    I am a surveillance operator in Nevada and I've been with my company for about 10 years. We were told that, as part of a company reorganization, we would be moving under the security department when we reopen.

    We were told that nothing about our jobs will change, it's simply an organizational thing, but we were told that, since we're in the security department, we'd have to pass the same physical fitness test that the security officers have to pass by the end of the year or we would be fired. This test is running, climbing obstacles, running up stairs, doing CPR and dragging and carrying a dummy. Obviously, none of this was in the job description for my job before since it's a desk job.

    I don't have any kind of actual disability, but I'm not really in any shape to be able to pass the same physical fitness test as the security officers who have much more active jobs, and are the ones who actually respond to calls where they might have to do those things.

    I know employers have a pretty broad discretion for firing people, but can they really have that reason be failing a physical fitness test like this for a desk job? And what happens when we're fired? The market here is absolutely saturated due to all the people out of work for shutdowns. Does this qualify for unemployment?

    What can I do if mom is crazy?

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 07:42 AM PDT

    I hope I picked the right flair...

    Hello there fellow redditors. In the past couple of years, my mother's mental condition has only been going downhill... For a bit of context, mom has custody of me (17M) and my sister (15F), and we live in Romania.

    My question is: is there anything we can legally do to get her the help she needs?

    She won't even hear about going to a psychologist or something, and she recently began forbidding us from attending online classes (and I mean she makes some real nice Scenes, which include drinking cups after cups of coffee, cutting the internet off, kicking us out for hours, throwing things at us and keeping us up at night till 4 or 5 in the morning).

    Is there a way that does not involve me&sis going in a {don't know the english for the place were the state takes "care" of children}? How about when I turn 18?

    Edit: To make it clear why she's crazy, she refuses to socialise with more than the store clerk and my bigger brother, and she thinks that every single woman in our village is a prostitute whose only purpose in life is to harrass her. A street light is broken? The prostitutes turned it off so she may impress a former wannabe boyfriend of hers...

    [MD] Employer wants broad, unbounded, no consideration, 3 year non-compete two months after hire, given two days to sign

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 12:03 PM PDT

    Hi all. I'm stressed out and hoping I just misunderstand this and someone could give me advice. I was sent an NDA that includes a non-compete clause as follows:

    "During the term of employment and following the termination of this Agreement for whatever reason for three (3) years, whether such termination was by [company] with or without cause, the employee agrees not to compete with [company] as a principal, employer, stockholder, partner, agent, consultant, independent contractor, employee, or in any other individual or representative capacity, on any program, project or task."

    So, it's a surprise 3 year, unbounded, broad, no consideration non-compete that would restrict me from even working with my current network if they were competing.

    I started two months ago, there was no mention of a non-compete. I work in a small field and many of my past employers and clients will likely compete with my current company over a three year period after employment ends. That's not even covering other lost opportunities. I suspect it would mean I could no longer work on the primary contact I've been on for years (as both 1099 and W2 for a major client). I spend over 95% of my effort working with this client, they requested me specifically for the current contract. I'm barely involved in the company itself.

    I'm hoping someone can give some context. Is this normal? I'm five years out of grad school, not c-suite. Should I ignore it? Send them a signed version with this clause removed?

    What would you do if you got this kind of contract?
