| Posted: 02 Nov 2020 09:13 PM PST We're from Austin, Texas. I'm posting this on behalf of my friends aswell. A friend of time told us they had discovered a program called LanSchool on their personal computer. This software as advertised as anti-cheat, and allows remote screen capture, webcam access, hard drive and google drive access. This can be done by any IT staff member, or in the right circumstances, any teacher. This has been discovered on several student's personal computers, including mine. and both them and their parents were clueless. Mine were too, and I'm also 18. The best we can figure form the data and talking to other redditors, the school used their SSO website to secretly download the software onto students computers using chrome's automatic download feature, without alerting the user". The software doesn't appear on desktop, and is cleverly hidden in appdata folders. We have pictures to prove it's existence on student computers, and it's install date. No one or their parents have ever signed a contract consenting to this. Is there anything we should do legally? Many parents and students are concerned about student privacy, and due to the recent nature of the discovery, the school hasn't addressed it yet. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Nov 2020 10:53 PM PST I found out that my second oldest son raped my daughter and when asked he admitted having done this to his sister. I sent him to temporarily stay with my mother who has gotten a lawyer for my second oldest son while still under my parental custody, changed his school and has convinced my son to press charges on me for abuse, neglect and unfit to parent my second oldest son due to my mental health problems which I've never been diagnosed with any. My daughter is scared to tell her story due to the fact my second oldest son had threatened her life and I was told by DHS that even if she came out with her story it wouldn't be credible and would be thrown out of court. Two counties, two DHS office involved with no communication between and nothing but a run around while trying to get my son moved from my mothers, which I put him there to start with temporarily then decided to move him to my sisters house to stop the interference of my mother who has blocked me every time to communicate with my son due to an alleged safety threat. Mind you I placed my second oldest son in my mothers house temporarily and enlisted the help of my local DHS and law enforcement offices. My DHS had a courtesy DHS office involved for my second oldest son in his grandmother's location. My DHS office relinquished the case and jurisdiction to the courtesy DHS office and at the last attempt for moving my son was blocked and I am now going to court for a shelter hearing. The petition that was put into the courts based on claims from my second oldest son of abuse, neglect and unfit to parent him due to my mental health problems, lack of skills, and quite a few other charges or allegations. These allegations are false and no one will represent my case. If anyone has any advice or suggestions please share them. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 03 Nov 2020 09:28 AM PST My car was parked (legally) on the street in front of my apartment complex. Myself and my landlord were given no warning (verbal or written) that there would be construction on this road and that I couldn't park there. When I parked there the night before there were no cones or signs indicating that they would be working on that part of the street the next day. When I went to drive somewhere the next day, I couldn't find my car and had to use the alarm to find it parked under a sketchy bridge about a block away from where I had parked it. At no point was I told in between them moving it and me finding it they it had been moved. Is this legal? Do I have any kind of recourse? They tried to tow it again this morning but I saw it and came out and just moved it myself. [link] [comments]  |
| My brother in law is receiving food stamps for my nephew's that are in my legal custody. Posted: 03 Nov 2020 07:15 AM PST Hi I recently received custody of my two nephews, to avoid the courts with CPS help I received custodial guardianship. I was told to apply for food stamps because I'm just 19 and they are two growing teenage boys. But apparently the father is still getting those food stamps and when I told the interviewer over the phone that they were now in my custody and I can send that to them. She tells me the dad has to change that but I know he won't so I told her and she hung up on me. What should I do? [link] [comments]  |
| Neighbor is threatening "legal action" if I swap out my own mailbox Posted: 03 Nov 2020 11:41 AM PST ND, USA. Petty alert! The street that I live on requires that all mailboxes be posted on one side, which happens to be the side opposite of my driveway. Currently, I share a mailbox post with my neighbor who lives directly across from me. The two mailboxes are identical (this is important later). I am a sole proprietor who sells handmade items online and I frequently ship boxes that don't fit into a typical sized mailbox. I also receive small to medium sized packages that I'd prefer to not be placed at my door. I have purchased an "extra large" size mailbox (it is approved by the PMG) and notified my neighbor across the street that I will be swapping out my current mailbox that is installed on the shared post as a courtesy. Oh my goodness, she was NOT a happy camper. She is very upset that the mailboxes will no longer match in size. In her tantrum, she threw insults my way about ruining the neighborhood ¯_(ツ)_/¯. That is all fine and good, but the thing she said that perked my ears was her threat of "legal action" if I change my mailbox. So, I called the city zoning and planning department to get direction. The planners that I spoke with stated that since the mailboxes are posted in the city's right of way on the boulevard, I am able to use whichever mailbox I choose to as long as it is PMG approved, which it is. Also, I am not located within an HOA and I have no signed covenants. In my mind, that settles it. BUT... IF this neighbor is serious about pursuing something legally, how far could it potentially go? Should I contact a lawyers office just in case? Thank you! [link] [comments]  |
| My sons friend(16M) is being abused. How can we help him? Posted: 02 Nov 2020 10:10 PM PST Just for context we're from Los Angeles , CA. So my sons friend Jason is 16, going on 17 in December. Jason has a very unfortunate situation. His biological mother and father are not in his life. His real dad killed himself when he was very very little and his mom is a crackhead lost in the streets. He lives with his biological aunt who has had custody of him since he was 8. Jason has lived on our street since he was 8 years old and we've only seen/met him recently. We met him maybe 7-8 months ago when the pandemic first started. When my son introduced us to him we thought he was a friend from school and we quickly learned he lives on our street and always has. This striked us as odd as we live in a really small neighborhood and everyone knows everyone kind of situation. Another pattern we noticed was that Jason only came over late night. Between 10-11 PM. He would come over, eat and watch tv with my son. I would come out of my bedroom in the middle of the night for whatever reason(1-3AM) (pee, water, just to check on the boys) and Jason was always sleeping here with my son. It was like he came over just to eat and sleep with my kid. It never bothered us. We didn't mind. Were very genuine people and don't judge based off of things like that. Anyways, Jason is very very slim. Pale skin. Very polite, sweet and respectful kid. His physical appearance is important to the story. But, Definitely the type I wouldn't mind my son hanging out with. After Jason hung out with my son a few times, my son brought up that he is neglected at home and said his mom(aunt) is abusive. I listened and took his claims seriously but my husband and I decided not to get involved. One night we were sitting with our son in the living room watching tv. My son was on his phone as many teenagers do. And we heard him watching a video of someone degrading themselves and crying, obviously upset and struggling. We heard the person in distress, crying saying "my life is shit. I'm a disappointment to my family. I'm nothing. I'm a bad kid. I'm better off gone" My husband kept asking my son "who is that" "who is that" let me see" and my son was just frozen and staring at the screen. We took his phone and saw it was Jason. Jason was visibly shaken and at the edge. I sent my son running to his Jason's to make sure he was okay and didn't hurt himself. My son came back walking with Jason in his arms hugging him. Jason said his mom(aunt) is going through a divorce and has been drinking a lot. She came home after day drinking all day, absolutely trashed and yelling at him. Saying how much of a disappointment he is, how he's not going to amount to anything and end up like his mother. She does this 4-5 times a week. And every single time he takes it really hard. That same day he also said he hadn't eaten the entire day and was just sobbing for hours. He told us that he has to stay inside ALL DAY. He's never allowed out the house. He's never allowed to hang out with friends. EVER. He's not allowed to leave the house only once a day to walk the aunts dog up and down the block. The reason he comes at night is because he has to sneak out. He comes here to see his friends, eat and sleep comfortably. He says he's an insomniac in her home. The other the night the boys were hanging out as usual and went out to grab a pizza from the delivery guy. His aunt was out there waiting and immediately flipped out on him. Started yelling at him. Demanded he go with her. Cussed him out about sneaking out and beat him all the way home in front of all his friends. This was around 10PM and my husband and I were laying in bed. We came out to grab some water and the boys told us everything. We were obviously upset but couldn't do anything. We hadn't seen or heard from his for almost 3 weeks after that. It was horrible just thinking about him and his safety. We were so so scared and worried about him. The other night I came out to grab some water and pee like I always do midnight and my boys were up. It was about 11PM. And my son says "JASON IS HERE" we were tripped out but relieved. He was here. And alive. And okay. I hugged him and asked how he was doing and welcomed him back home. I felt so sad for him as I hugged his skinny little body and he just sobbed for minutes. He caught us up on what had happened since we saw him last and he got caught sneaking out. Apparently one of our nosy neighbors who had been seeing him sneak out while his aunt was passed out drunk told on him and the aunt basically set a trap that she was asleep for the night and he fell for it. He said his aunt beat him that night with chords and wires and showed us the scars on his back. We all sobbed with him. He said she's been verbally abusive since and makes him sleep in the tiny bathroom on the floor. He has a phone hidden and He took pictures and video of his little blanket and pillow on the small ass bathroom floor with his head nearly 5 inches from the fucking toilet seat. He also filmed this bitch passed out drunk on her bed while he had his bed made on the bathroom floor. Now. This this where we need help. This kid has been through it. As if not having him real parents isn't bad enough this piece of shit of a fucking human has the audacity to have her nephew like a fucking prisoner. As if physically abusing him, starving him wasn't enough. She also tells him how much of a piece of shit he is. How he'll never amount to anything and end up like his mother. That she's glad he isn't her real son because she's so fucking embarrassed and ashamed to even have to be his fake mom. This kid is so stressed. You can see it in his demeanor. His face. The way he speaks. The fact that he is almost 17 and only 100 pounds. We want to help him but don't know how ? I'm assuming she has full custody and gets government benefits to raise him. Idk how to go about anything or reporting her to CPS? Could my husband and I take him in? How would we even do that? We love this sweet boy to death and my son sees him as a brother. His friend group knows everything and so do some of the other parents of the boys in the friend group. Could he possibly get emancipated? I know he would have to have a job in order to do that in California but his aunt would never allow him to do anything positive for himself. She's holding onto him as long as she can. Any advice legal or just advice in general at all is appreciated. We would love to take him in and have him be a part of the family. [link] [comments]  |
| California - Condo listing says 2 dedicated parking spots, CCNR's say 1 + 1 shared - what to do? Posted: 03 Nov 2020 10:47 AM PST We're in escrow to buy a condo in a 3 unit HOA in the Bay Area. ~20 days to close. The parking area is outdoors and has 4 parking spots - 1 per unit and 1 that, according to CCNRs, is shared between our unit and one other unit. The listing for the property explicitly states "2 dedicated parking spots". The seller and selling agent state the HOA members have agreed that the shared parking spot is in fact dedicated to our unit, however, they can not produce any documentation proving it. We signed off on the CCNRs and disclosures prior to offering. We do not want to lose the deal over the parking spot but I strongly feel the property was misrepresented in the listing vs what it legally is. I've been thinking of stating that we believe the listing was misrepresented and that we want (something like) 10k off of the purchase price, given that it is in fact a 1.5 parking spot property and not 2, as per the listing. If they don't agree to a decreased price, I will submit a complaint to the CA Dept. of RE against the selling agent. Selling agent and my agent both work for the same brokerage. What would you do in this situation? [link] [comments]  |
| [Atlanta, GA] fully paid car towed and sold by chase Posted: 02 Nov 2020 06:19 PM PST Hey folks! I bought my new 2018 Corolla three years ago and paid total in cash. Four months ago, my car disappeared from my apartment parking lot. I reported to the police and filed a insurance claim. I'm still waiting for my replacement title cause I put the title in the car. Very stupid. Today the police called that they found the car in a auto option in Atlanta. But the staff said the car is not under my name. Instead it belongs to J.P. Morgan chase. The police detective and I called the chase both. They claimed that I'm not the owner and I'm not the person binding to the loan so they cannot release more information. But the police told me that chase kept that car from four months ago so it was towed not stolen. The manager of chase redemption department said the car owner in their system is another person living in a very different address from mine and the loan started couple of years ago. He said he would keep investigating this. The thing is I paid in total and I didn't even have a chase account at that time. And it's a new car. I've been diving the car for these three years. So my idea is that chase totally messed up with the database and has the wrong owner with loan under same vin number and same plate number. I moved to California one month ago due to work. I don't have any legal experience. Any suggestion on how I can deal with this? Thanks! Nov 3rd update: Called state to check title progress, retrieved replacement registration online. Thank you guys for reminding me of this! [link] [comments]  |
| HOA is trying to put a lien on my house Posted: 03 Nov 2020 08:12 AM PST Hi, I am from CA. As title says, HOA is trying to put a lien on my house for a missing payment of HOA fees and late fees on top of it. I have auto draft and my payment was deducted from my bank account. When we first received notification of the intent to lien, it was near the start of quarantine. We asked them to verify and send us documentation of the missing payment. They did and we spoke with them over the phone. They were nice said if we can get the check information, it should clear everything up. My bank doesn't give the check information but the reference information and confirmed that they didn't cash the check. HOA then says they need the board to approve to stop the lien and refund the fees. It's Ben a month and the person I've been speaking with said there was no response but the answer is most likely no. I already resent the uncashed payment, they cashed it. So I just want to know if I have any legal right to having the lien stopped and no fees since my bank can confirm the check was sent out and they didn't cash it? They have always charged me weird late fees so I just thought this was something they the cause and didn't think much of it initially. Your help is appreciated! [link] [comments]  |
| Ex-Employee contacted current clients Posted: 03 Nov 2020 12:10 PM PST I own a small business in Florida. It was brought to my attention by a loyal client that an ex-employee of mine e-mailed them letting them know they no longer work for my company but for a competitor and offered discounted "First time customer" services to them. I was forwarded the e-mail, and the e-mail was sent to our entire e-mail database of clients. Clearly this ex-employee took our distribution list before leaving. Is there anything I can do?

| Posted: 03 Nov 2020 10:42 AM PST In 2015 an event about me was published in a Montana news paper. The details of the event stated in the article have been proven in a court of law not to be true. The witness who expressed those details admitted to making them up. The news paper has refused to take down the article or revise it. Since they are still reporting this information as fact, and has been proven not to be so and that they have been informed that it is false, I believe this meets the definition of Libel defamation. Additionally, this article was cited as a reason I was not hired for certain jobs. The statue of limitations for libel in Montana is 2 years. However, since the article has never been taken down, is it this continuous act of liable or does it only go as far back as the date of the article's publication? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 03 Nov 2020 01:30 PM PST Hi all, I live in a suburb of Los Angeles and have 4 tenants on the same lease. The lease is month to month and has been for over a year. Me and one other tenant gave our thirty day notice which was required by the lease. The leasing company has told us we cannot have our names taken off the lease unless all 4 tenants give notice. I've been trying to research online how that would work, as that means that should my roommates never leave, neither could I. They have lived there 5 years and have no intention of moving, we added our names last year. The roommates do not have a problem with us removing our name, but the leasing company does. My understanding is im simply declining to renew my month to month tenancy as of December 1st, while the leasing company has told me that for liability reasons my name must stay on the lease until the other 2 decide they would like to move, even if that was in twenty years. If anyone could help clarify how to approach this, that would be wonderful. If this had been a year long lease I would have simply not needed to renew, but because its month to month they're saying I can't get out of it at all. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 03 Nov 2020 07:01 AM PST Hi, legal jurisdiction US/Nevada/Las Vegas if that matters. This is my first post here and it's one out of desperation. I've had spinal problems for years now, and was getting great treatment from free medicaid before i moved (thanks Obama) the biggest one is epidurals that keep the pain away for a month straight. I moved to Las Vegas and had to get a new provider and insurance. I plopped my medical records on my doctor's table and the response of them was essentially "alright, let's get to work, we will need a new MRI before we can start stabbing into your spine" which is reasonable. I made appointments for it, and 'denied'. they want 3 months with a care provider without improvement. Also reasonable. went 3 months, tried again 'denied' they want conservative measures,........ alright, already did those, let me contact the insurance. They deflected blame saying they outsource their approvals (wat?). spent the next year going through and hitting just about every single one of their potential requirements, each one should have allowed me to get the MRI on their own, but each time I try for an MRI, nope. It's been a year and i tried again, things seem good, no denials, thanks to covid it's almost two months before my appointment, my appointment comes, I go in. "oops, sorry, your insurance denied it late last afternoon, can't do it". I grit my teeth, it's not the MRI receptionist's fault. Got home, calmed down (a bit), called insurance, I get hung up on, called them again, hung up on, completely stonewalled. I'm currently contacting my HR provider, the company i work for has dropped insurance providers like they're hot for shenanigans like this before so i hope it will put the fear of god in them. I have a feeling that if i want the medical care i need i will need to lawyer up, but if i do, would i win? would I even have a case? for more info: I'm male, 25, 220 (yes a bit chubby) my back frequently locks up entirely making it impossible to move without excruciating pain. I get leg spasms frequently where my leg will pull up, even if I'm mid step, causing me to face-plant (or sometimes almost fall down stairs) sometimes in addition to my back locking up, my limbs will too, pulling up into a fetal position and with all the muscles so tense i can't get them moving without extreme pain (that usually lasts 1-2 hours) I live daily with constant pain, always between 4-5/10 on good days, going up to 8-9/10 on days that it freezes I always try to avoid further aggravation of it, but some life tasks are just unavoidable If i can get my epidurals, it will eliminate back freezes, eliminate leg spasms, and limb lock ups, and drop my daily pain to 1-2/10, granted as a price, it boosts my pain to 10/10 for 1-2 days but it lasts a month...... 100% worth it. sorry for the long post, any advice would be helpful. I'm desperate, kinda typed this with tears so I'm sure there will be typos, it's my first reddit post, please go easy Edit consolidation the constant pain is making me start to spiral into an opiate addiction just to stop the pain. I don't want that life for context on the last denial, MRI appointment, Oct 28 10AM, Insurance Denial Oct 27 3:12PM, referral submission date August 27 ~3PM Insurance company is CIGNA, provided through work (already in talks with HR) Edit four 'on stranger tides': found one reason that my provider hasn't been able to appeal (gave the doc a call) Cigna hasn't been sending the denial letter and appeal form to the doctor [link] [comments]  |
| Is it legal for my employer to ding my paycheck 5$ for using my cellphone at work? (California, USA) Posted: 03 Nov 2020 11:05 AM PST |
| Employer Wants to Track Us on Personal Phone Posted: 03 Nov 2020 10:06 AM PST Here is a short version of what I have going on in the workplace. I work in sales (B2B) and internally they have been developing an app for us to use in the market. They say it's for statistics and to help us narrow down our markets to become more productive. So far it's been used to micro-manage the sales team. We are salary, they are now having us "clock in", and to track us. I just found out the app was tracking us using background location services all day every day. They just told us that the app will no longer do this, that's how we all just found out. Now it will only track us when we are clocked in. Is this legal? These are our personal phones that we have to download this app that tracks us. They give us a small amount of money for our phones each month (42%), but does that allow them to track us? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 03 Nov 2020 05:45 AM PST This is in the state of Connecticut. Maybe there's nothing to be done, but this whole thing is insane. He bought a relatively young used car and its spent most of the time at the dealership. Everytime he gets the car back, it's still leaking water inside when it rains. It's been at the dealership repeatedly for this under warrantee. He also had to replace the transmission for $3k out of his own pocket. Now, it's been stolen from the dealers lot on Halloween. The keys were left in it. And it's got paint and body damage everywhere but of course not enough to total it. He's stuck with this garbage vehicle, sinking money into it constantly, and always driving a rental. Is there a way to hold the dealership accountable? It seems like a lemon, or at least they are incapable of fixing it. And now they were negligent and allowed more damage to occur. How can we get this all to stop? [link] [comments]  |
| [CA] Aunt (67) breaking restraining order Posted: 03 Nov 2020 09:49 AM PST I wanna see if anyone has information or advice here pertaining to this specific situation. My mom and family live with my grandpa and they also live with my aunt who was living with my grandpa longer. My grandpa has dementia but I aunt and brothers moved in to take care of my grandpa. Long story short my aunt has harassed them nonstop since they moved in like 5 years ago at this point and made it really difficult for them to stay and help my grandpa. They recently got a restraining order and my aunt was served it but is not leaving. The order was granted according to the lawyer and the paperwork on the grounds of harassment and up til the court date. We called the cops but they said it's not in their database so they cannot do anything. The lawyer talked with the police and gave them the restraining order number but that didn't workout either. Well in the meanwhile she actually called the police again yesterday so the longer this drags out the more of that they will have to endure. She's just walking around like everything is normal but still harassing them. Is the only option to wait until this thing finally shows up in the police database in order to have her removed? Does it usually take a long time? They feel threatened with her around. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 03 Nov 2020 09:04 AM PST He will blow kisses and make blowjob motions with his hand and mouth while staring at me through the window of a nearby room. At first I was like wow this is a creep but decided to let it go. It has been multiple times now on separate occasions and I feel really violated and am starting to feel unsafe. What can I do? Technically he didn't touch me, threaten me, or anything like that. I've never even talked to him. Who could I tell/call? I've never dealt with anything remotely close to this. Thanks everyone. Edit: I am in CO [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 03 Nov 2020 07:29 AM PST TLDR; I had a baby before I was ready and was going to put her up for adoption when she was five months. My mom told me not to and she's been telling me the whole time she doesn't feel comfortable leaving her with me but also they always ask when I'll get a house and say they need help etc. they have the child support card but the dad is an alcoholic deadbeat(hence me going for the adoption option) my daughter is almost seven now, I've had my first place of my own for almost five months now and my mom is having a fit not wanting to let her stay with me. It's been a month since I've seen her. My mom thinks I'm in an abusive relationship for some reason?? I've been happily living with my fiancé for five years we have a son who's four. He loves his big sister and he misses her. I feel like my parents are making her stupid and lying to her. I need advice please. Also, my mom has guardianship, not custody. I have custody. Can they keep her from me like this? I don't want to argue with them in front of my daughter but I will do something If I have to. I'm 27(F) with two kids. I had my daughter when I was 20, I was squatting in houses with my drunk boyfriend when I got pregnant. I had alcohol abuse issues and I can say it wasn't where I wanted to be in life. When I got pregnant I moved in with my parents, I had addiction issues but I'm smart enough to hold off on my wants when I'm with child, I quit everything. They made me breastfeed in the hospital after I had her(my parents,grandparents, the nurses...) I did this for a month or so after also, it was traumatic. I have sexual PTSD so it was extremely uncomfortable, I cried every time. Anyways, after about 5 months I realized I wasn't parenting material in my mental state. My best friend told me a family member of hers wanted to adopt a little girl and it was almost too good to be true. The couple was wealthy (a nurse and a child psychologist) and they lived in Colorado.They wanted to have an open adoption, I thought it was perfect. They suggested I talk to my family about it(I should have known better..) my mom immediately told me not to do it. "We love her you'll regret it etc etc) so it's been almost seven years now. I was not living with my parents when I was considering adoption, I was on pills, with guys. Being dumb basically. My mom took her, I gave her guardianship (I still have custody) and she gets the child support card. The father is somewhere out there but no one has heard from him in years. I don't ask for anything from them except time with the kid they wanted me to keep. I have a house that I'm renting with my fiancé of five years. We have a son who just turned 4. When my family found out I was pregnant with him all they would ask is if I was keeping him, and would speak on how I already have a kid I can't take care of. It's frustrating, my daughter has been living with them for years because when I met my fiancé I moved into his moms house. It was very crowded, my daughter wouldn't have been happy there because she had her own room at my moms(she was three I believe) My parents are always making excuses on how they don't feel comfortable leaving her with me. It's been seven years? She's been asking me why she can't come over, my mom is having this dramatic streak right now (she's just absolutely convinced I'm in an abusive relationship)and I haven't seen her in a month. Why did they make me keep her and try to talk me out of having another one with someone I've been in a healthy relationship with for five years, if they were just going to back out when I finally get my own place? This isn't doing anyone any good and I've been feeling so guilty. I feel bad because I let my mom keep her and they've been using her as leverage to make me talk to them and visit them for years now. I feel like they know I dislike them and they took her so I wouldn't leave?? I don't even know if they're teaching her anything, she was coming over to my house every day and I was doing her schoolwork with her and she was so clueless. She can't wipe her butt, she gets UTIs from holding it in for too long and probably wiping wrong. It's like they just let her do whatever?? They just let her watch YouTube on their phones all day. I love both of my kids but I hate this tug of war. I don't even care about my parents they're idiots, I'm very worried about how this will effect my children in the long run. What do I do?? This has been going on for too long and I'm not doing this dance with my shitty parents so they can fuck up my daughter. [link] [comments]  |
| Car Crashed Into Family's Restaurant and Destroyed Everything (NJ) Posted: 03 Nov 2020 05:23 AM PST Hello Legal Advice, Last Friday a car crashed into my family's restaurant when a driver ran a redlight and pressed on the gas pedal instead of the brakes. See pictures HERE. The driver took out the wall and windows of the front of the restaurant as well as the tables/chairs/etc. inside the restaurant. One of the structural metal columns stopped him from going any further. Thankfully, no one was majorly hurt. The driver was also fine and was waiting inside the coffee shop next door while the towing company was removing his car. No apologies were issued to us and he did not acknowledge us. No drug/alcohol test was given to him since we were told by the police it was around 10 am and they didn't smell alcohol. My family is very confused as to how the different insurances will work together to get this resolved. We rent the space from the building owner and we do not own the space. Therefore, both the owner's insurance and our business insurance need to work together to fix this. However, our insurance adjuster told us that our policy might have a $ cap and that we need to pay for the deductible. In this case, the accident was not provoked by the restaurant at all but by the driver. Therefore, should the driver be paying our deductible? What about things that our insurance won't cover? For example, time and effort restocking our food since we had to throw everything away. Any advice would be much appreciated! We are a small family-owned restaurant and we were already trying to do the best that we could during these restrictions/lockdowns. Thank you so much for your help! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Nov 2020 10:56 PM PST My son is 3, but has already been kicked out of three daycares, had two nannies quit, and worn out his welcome with both of his grandmas. He's developmentally 2-4 months old but weighs 35lbs, so basically a giant newborn. He screams/cries maybe 8-10hrs a day, and is otherwise nonverbal. He's also non-mobile. Medically, he's fine. Doctors say he has global developmental delay due to a genetic condition, and he does receive therapy services from the state, but they haven't really helped in the 2yrs he's been enrolled. His therapists have said that due to his genetic condition, they can pretty confidently say that he'll never substantially improve in his functioning. Because he's medically fine, everywhere is saying that he doesn't qualify for nursing homes and won't qualify for a group home until he's at least 18. At this point, I'm panicking. I have MS, my back and leg issues are substantial at this point and I can't lift him regularly for much longer. Like, even a few more weeks longer. My doctor has me maxed out on available non-narcotics, the only next step for me is opioids and going that route won't be good for me or my son. Mentally, I'm at my wit's end. I have panic attacks literally every day. I have fleeting thoughts of killing myself with alarming frequency, things along the lines of "he could have a better mother if I were dead", or "I wish I was dead so I didn't have to deal with this screaming anymore." I don't know what's lower than this, and I don't want to find out. There's no one willing AND able to help me, and nobody seems to care. The daycare he's currently attending is charging me their newborn rate for him, and after only a week it's clear that he's being neglected there. I'm beating myself up because I want to take him out of there as his mother, but financially can't do it because I can't get fired from another job without ruining my career entirely. I've tried calling CPS, but they won't intervene unless I'm abusing or neglecting him, which I'm not doing and am not willing to do. What can I do to help this situation? I'm willing to leave the state if I need to. [link] [comments]  |
| Urgent help: Landlord says digital lease not accepted then changes mind to keep check Posted: 03 Nov 2020 10:02 AM PST I am in NYC if anyone can help with advice, that would be helpful with shady apartment building management. Timeline: -Found apartment myself, management said it will take 1 month for repairs, I waited 40 days for it. - On 25th, I asked to take a look at apartment and it had issues, I asked them to fix it, they said they would. -So I filled the PDF out digitally and printed the copies and sent them the two copies, management said they cannot accept digitally filled/signed copies, they wanted me to refill using ink. So I told them I will do, but I never submitted the ink version. They gave me the keys to apartment and the repairs were not done, also more issues, toilet not working, showerhead broken, etc. I took photos and documented everything and told them I cannot accepted it as is on Oct 30/31st, lease begins Nov 1st. They sent out a manager, he took photos and said he will not fix the things I requested except for toilet/shower. So I told the management I do not accept this, that's not what I agreed too vial email to the same person who has been dealing with my case. -So I told management to cancel my lease and return my first month check and deposit since no repairs were done, they say they will only return deposit check and cannot return the rent check for 1st month (even though I haven't moved there yet or lived), out of nowhere just to keep the check they are now accepting the digital print lease I gave them. What are my options, can I still get my rent check back? And now they are backing out from their original email reply "Lease are supposed to have original signatures not electronic. I also noticed –you didn't sign W-9 form. Please be advised all pages must be signed and initialed. Please print two copies of the lease and drop off at our office, once BOTH COPIES are originally signed. Thank you " the fact that she said that 3-4 days before the lease began and when I backed out, can they legally keep my rent check if I never submitted an ink version? Any help would greatly be appreciated. EDIT: They went ahead and signed the digital lease, trapping me for a full year, what are my options? [link] [comments]  |
| Backing out of a house purchase TX Posted: 03 Nov 2020 11:06 AM PST First time posting here. Our real estate agent screwed us pretty hard with her advice on this. Partner and I are first time home buyers in a very hot market. We offered on 6-7 homes (most well over listing price from 5-17k) and got nowhere. Our agent was pushing us to waive the appraisal addendum (so if the bank comes back with a smaller value of the home than we offered, we can't renegotiate with the seller) and offer nearly 30k over on a particular home. The original offer we made was 17K over with no waiver, but we felt pressure and raised it to 20k and waived the appraisal addendum. She assured us it would go for more, and while we didn't expect for it to go for the price we offered for it, we thought the most we'd pay would be a little over 10k. Most of the houses we had previously offered on went for 20k over, so we assumed the appraisal was based on current market values based on this and what our agent was pushing for. The appraisal took its time coming back since it's been so busy and is only 3k over listing. We've appealed it, but it hasn't changed. We talked to our agent about backing out of the offer and she basically said "talk to an attorney. They can sue you for damages." No one told us about suing. We knew about the option period obviously, and that we could lose our earnest money outside that time period, but the agent made it seem like the buyers had more rights and freedom to walk away at any time. We almost backed out during the option period due to the materials of the pipes and this appraisal waiver, meaning we could be sinking way more money into this house than it was worth, but once again our agent went hard and kind of convinced us this was a good house and we should stick with it. I'm trying to get a hold of an attorney now and our lender may have some other options for us. We're just mad and feel so stupid. We've made a ton of bad decisions with this house, and while I do like it and think it's well maintained, the fact is we're going to be spending an extra 17k out of pocket for an older, smaller home that still needs some updating just makes both of us feel sick and overwhelmed. Any advice appreciated while I'm trying to get in touch with an attorney. [link] [comments]  |
