| Wondering if this is malpractice, or just a frustrating mistake? Posted: 09 Jul 2021 03:45 AM PDT I'm in Utah, USA. My psychiatrist prescribed me lithium two or so years ago, and for a while things were fine. About half a year ago, though, I started getting very sick. Tremors and the works--it's so bad that I can't walk without a cane and I'm only in my 20s. I moved to a new psychiatrist, because I felt like my old one wasn't being very helpful. My new psych was horrified to find out that in all my time on lithium my old psych never checked my lithium levels, kidney function, liver function, or thyroid function despite that being the standard procedure for anyone on lithium. New psych ran the tests and found that I have severe hypothyroidism--she said it might be reversible but also might not. The pain I'm currently enduring most likely is due to the lithium, as she also found that my lithium levels were very off. Hypothyroidism is linked to taking lithium, and my old psych definitely should've known this, but she never spoke to me about it and didn't order the proper tests. I'm not really planning on doing anything about it one way or the other, but for my peace of mind I want to know if this is negligence on her part (legally), or just a "harmless" mistake? (EDIT: In case it's relevant, I was on the lithium per the old psych's prescription until just last week. My new one had to ease me off of it, so this is all very fresh.) (EDIT 2: I wasn't expecting so much support on this thread, but the people of this subreddit are extremely helpful and I appreciate all of the advice/opinions/well wishes that have been sent my way. I've decided I'm definitely going to reach out to a lawyer, get their opinion, and proceed with that as well as getting in touch with licensing and reporting this. Even if I can't win a case, maybe I can make sure my old doctor gets more training and doesn't do this to anyone else. Thank you all for your help!) [link] [comments]  |
| Landlord moved into my backyard... �� Posted: 08 Jul 2021 08:01 PM PDT My landlord came into town ( Rural Colorado) July 1st and informed me & my significant other he will be living in a shed in the backyard going to school through the end of our lease in December. He told me that he cannot change the lease to lower our rent. No where in the lease agreement does it say he planned on, or is allowed to move in with me at anytime during the lease with or without my permission but he is doing so despite the lease aggreement...He offered to pitch in on utilities which I do not believe is adequate. He is a cool enough guy, but I still feel like as a female renter I am being taken advantage of and I am feeling like I have no choice in the matter. What are my options? Is this legal on his part? Do I have a right to demand my rent be lowered in this circumstance? Do I have the right to move out before end of lease in this circumstance? Edit: I would like to express that I do not have any intention or desire of trying to remove him from his own property or involve police. I am just hoping I have the right to demand my rent be lowered or that I have the right to break the lease on these terms without financial responsibility. I am in a VERY small town and I do not want to make enemies or tarnish my future rental opportunities here. [link] [comments]  |
| Being evicted for not paying rent, yet we pay rent every month Posted: 09 Jul 2021 02:00 AM PDT Long story short, they given us till the 31st to move, for not paying rent for certain months. 12,000 is owed apparently, the months shown that we havent paid have been paid in the payment section. We message landlord/company, yet either no response or they ignore and send automated message? What should we do? We have no where to go. Phoenix arizona [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 09 Jul 2021 05:58 AM PDT I live in Atlanta, and I signed a lease transfer into a new apartment in the same apartment complex for later this week. However, the old lease is not up until later this month. While signing the lease, I was assured multiple times (verbally; I know I should have gotten this in writing) that I would be allowed to live in my current apartment until the end of my current lease. I was also assured this over a phone call earlier this week by another person in the leasing office. However, now, the leasing agent that I'm working with just informed me that I need to move out on my scheduled move out date (which I had never scheduled at all over the phone/in writing so there is none.. something that the contract says needs to be done in writing) which is within 48 hours of the new lease starting. I also read through my contract for any/all indication of a lease term change, and while there is an ability for them to do so, the lease also states that it should be made clear in writing on the lease agreement itself (which it isn't). The reason they're not letting me stay in the current apartment is because they've already scheduled a move in for another person before the lease is up in my current apartment. They're saying that we have no option but to move, but I know that cannot be right, as the contract says nothing about it (both, old and new). What could I do in this case, as I absolutely cannot move on the early move out date because of work and travel [link] [comments]  |
| Brother's fiancé wants to share custody of our youngest, minor brother (NJ) Posted: 09 Jul 2021 07:07 AM PDT Context: Dad died suddenly and very recently. Mom's been deceased for a while now. We have not sorted the estate yet. New Jersey state. We have no attorneys or legal assistance at this time. Four of us are next of kin. The plan originally was for the three adults (Me-34yr old, Bro1-29yr old, Sis-23yr old) to have shared custody of our youngest brother, who is 16 1/2 years old. At present, my father's estate is planned to be split four ways, including the sibling who is still a minor. Bro1 currently has sole custody because I was living overseas, and the motion we brought forth was improvised, we didn't know what we were doing, but wanted custody given asap as to avoid complications with our 16 year old brother not having anyone officially having custody. Based on Google searches, we thought that in order to have custody granted, we needed a 'defendant' which my sister did, so she was not given custody either. I was on a nightmarish flight-path with layovers during all this (yay covid). We have no attorneys helping us. During the zoom session, the judge basically said "Lol why don't the three of you siblings just share custody, bro?" but then went through with our dumb motion anyway, granting sole custody to Bro1 currently. A follow-up hearing is scheduled over a month away, at which time we are planning for the three of us to get shared custody. The problem: Bro1 and his fiancé have been living in my dad's house with the minor brother and I. When we were alone, Bro1 has told me that his fiancé also wants shared custody. More context: Bro1 has been with his fiancé for 8ish years, and for all intents and purposes, she has been "a part of" our family. I like her, I trust her in that respect, but as you might tell, these circumstances are different than how I'd usually interact with her. She has been very helpful, so I won't deny that. Bro1 makes the argument that including her in shared custody would be good because she can help with matters for our minor bro that require it. That because I have my own life overseas (true) and that our sis is also busy managing her own life (true), that it would help lessen the burden on them, who are moving to my dad's house (we agreed this was okay for now) and looking after our youngest with me currently. Because I don't live here, I don't have a car, a job (I do have employment overseas, but it can't be done remotely), or any connections or friends, etc. When the assets are reassigned, hopefully that will improve (I can have partial ownership of dad's car, for example). At this time, my length of stay is open ended, so it may be just the two of them here after a time. I don't yet know, these are still early days. My problem: I want the assets split four ways, safely and easily, and our youngest taken care of. I want to protect that. In the past, through grandparents and other now deceased relatives, we have had inheritances stolen, our mother got nothing, for example. I want all four of us to be safe. Regardless of how nice she is, my brother's fiancé is not yet (even legally) our family. I have no issue with her being an emergency contact, for example, but I'm worried this will cross a line that we can't take back if it becomes a problem. My question: What are the risks and issues that could present themselves with allowing my brother's fiancé to be on shared custody with us, with respect to my teen brother's life, but also with his share of the estate, or the estate in general? What are the benefits? I plan to speak with our youngest about his feelings on it, and that if granted, she would have a say in his care, making clear she could potentially override his own wishes, for example. I want his say included too, but more information would help us figure this out, even though we still have over a month to do so, thank you. Forgot to add: What legal means do I have to oppose this if I decide to go against them? [link] [comments]  |
| Random Guy claims my parents' yard is his property Posted: 08 Jul 2021 04:58 PM PDT I'm helping my parents with this issue. My dad doesn't like getting involved with any "legal stuff" and prefers to take matters into his own hands. But this can escalate quickly, so I just want to have a solid plan for him. My parents have lived in their house for 45 years. I grew up in this house. It is located in California. On one side of the house is a small lot of land that separates our house from the neighbor's property. My dad's shed is on this lot, and other things such as car parts, etc. The lot extends past the back of the house and the back yard is attached to it essentially -- kind of difficult to describe. It's essentially the backyard, although it's not fenced in. About a year ago this guy starts hanging around my parents' house, specifically in the yard. My parents ask him to leave, but he claims that he has recently bought the lot and it's his property. Conveniently, he has no proof of this whatsoever. The cops come and talk to him and he leaves. Over the course of the next few months he has an "aerial survey" done (my parents tell me this consisted of him and another man flying a drone around) and attempted to show my father some documents which he refused to look at. Cut to yesterday: he shows up and plops himself down and refuses to go. Fortunately I happen to be there, and talk to him more calmly than my father. He claims he has documents, but they are at his wife's house, who has a restraining order against him. I ask if he can have somebody else get them, but he says no, insisting that "the burden of proof is not on me". We call the police, and they try to reason with him too. He provided his ID but no other information. They ask what he's doing there, etc. but he repeatedly says he doesn't want to say, reassuring us all that it's not illegal. He won't say for how long he intends to stay either. It comes out that his father is parked across the street. He refuses to step out if his car or speak to the police. This is where it gets complicated: my parents can only prove that they are residents of the address -- however the address, according to whatever records the police were able to get ahold of, ends before this lot. My parents knew this, but say that when they bought the property, it included the lot. Furthermore, they have no idea who owned and sold the lot if it wasn't theirs, and to no one's surprise, the guy refuses to say who sold him the lot. SO, because neither my father nor this guy can prove who owns the lot, the police had to let the guy stay (he couldn't be arrested for trespassing because my parents couldn't prove it's theirs essentially). As soon as they left, this guy's dad gets out of the car and the two of them pitch a tent. Then his dad leaves and he goes inside the tent. My dad called the police again, but they said the same thing. They said if he gets out of the tent, my dad can legally move the tent, and if he publicly urinates, he can be arrested for that. So my father sat in a chair and he watched the tent until about midnight waiting for the guy to pee. He never came out. My father has been outside all day -- since 6am -- and the guy is still in there. We think he's peeing in a bottle or something. Anyways, the police recommended that my dad open a civil suit. So my QUESTION is: what does my dad need to prove that the lot is his property (assuming it is)? More importantly, if it's been lost (likely) how does he go about obtaining something at all? Is it possible that there has been a mysterious owner of this lot who my parents have never met in the 45 years they have lived here? Is this a scam, or has this Random Guy been the victim of a scam? Thank you all TL;DR: After 45 years of owning their property, my parents are being told by a Random Guy that part of their property actually belongs to him. No one has any proof. UPDATE: Shortly after I posted this the guy left the tent and walked off (he did not publicly urinate). As of now (about midnight) he still hasn't returned, but the tent is still there, all set up. In the meantime I've begun the info hunt, but will do more extensive research tomorrow. Lots of great stuff here, I think we can have this resolved easily. Thanks to everyone who commented!

| Moving Company won't deliver my stuff then lost it's ability to Posted: 08 Jul 2021 03:33 PM PDT So I recently moved from South Carolina to Texas. I hired some movers they came picked up my stuff and there were no issues. Then they called and asked for the first available delivery date, I told them June 1st, we moved on May 9th and long story short we needed the bigger break which was perfect because they offered 30 days free storage. June 1st came and it went with no other contact from the agency. The next day I started calling and emailing because I didn't want to be charged more for storing longer, no answer until the 18th of June! Finally they asked when the delivery date could be and I said the latest July 5th, but I would contact them and let them know of it could be later... My mistake giving them more time lol. I contacted them a few times between the 18th of June and the 5th of July to confirm... No answer. The 5th comes and goes no delivery no contact. I called up on the 6th and believe it or not someone answered. She was new and said all of her bosses were in a meeting and she could not help me...I said please be have them call me as I will begin filing complaints with the FMCSA. By 1pm on the 6th I began exactly that process. Come to find out from the FMCSA that the DOT number that the company is registered under failed to cooperate with the FMCSA for an audit and their DOT license was revoked on the 3rd of July... I called the company back up again, got the new girl again and said please please please let them know how huge this matter is becoming now, and if I don't hear from them I will by 5pm, their time, I would begin the process of disputing all charges with my credit card. Filing a police report, and then contacting my insurance company about stolen property. As you could probably assume by now, this had to happen. The police of course couldn't do much besides file a report, which I was able to give them Names, numbers, DOT numbers and even the license plate of the truck that picked up our stuff, yeah I'm that on top of things haha! Credit card company was like yep we will definitely allow you to dispute this and had the amount back to me in less than two hours. Insurance company was super empathetic and filed the claim, but I am still waiting to figure out if it will happen or not, because it could be a "civil matter", ugh I hope not. Of course I would rather my stuff back, a lot of sentimental stuff and not wanting the hassle of buying new, but I have no idea about how to go about this. The company has now gone to picking up the phone and hanging up or letting it go to voicemail with a full voicemail box. I can't do anything to resolve the situation. I went ahead and put of necessity bought some items, bed, mattress, and some cooking wear. But geez this is frustrating. [link] [comments]  |
| Got hit by a car while riding my bike - need help Posted: 09 Jul 2021 11:41 AM PDT Oh boy. The basics: I'm a college student in Chicago, IL. I was riding my bike downtown, in the bike lane, crossing an intersection. I swear I had the green light. Either way, as I was crossing the intersection, a guy hit me with his car. He came at me claiming I hit HIM with my bike, aggressive and obviously upset. I don't have a car and therefore no car insurance, and that made him even more upset. I was in my bike lane, to my knowledge I had the right away. We exchanged phone numbers and names. Police were not called. Basically, it's just his words against mine, and he's claiming I hit him. He left a voicemail confirming he had my correct phone number, but that's all so far. I'm a broke ass college student, with no money and no insurance. Does he have any legal recourse? I don't know what to do. I'm don't think I'm at fault, but I know he'll say I am. What should I say/do? [link] [comments]  |
| Fl. HR retroactively fired me? Posted: 08 Jul 2021 10:13 PM PDT HR logged into my private social media and saw that i was job hunting. Then hey screenshotted my posts and emailed them to me this week and told me my final day was last week. I was using pto this week so now i will not be getting that. Is this legal? That is 5 days of pay i am missing out on. They accessed my account because i logged in on a work computer, but it was for work purposes. HR is also IT. On my fb account, i saw that they logged in using my laptop at 7:30pm. Way after closing time. Any advice would be appreciated. Edit: today was payday for a full pay period I worked and I am $100 short. It just proves to me that this was planned and she was looking for reasons to not pay me and to get rid of me. Shady stuff like this is why I wanted to leave. [link] [comments]  |
| Upstairs Neighbor (Condo) Spraying off Dog Waste onto balcony Posted: 09 Jul 2021 08:23 AM PDT Hello /r/legaladvice, I am having an issue with my upstairs neighbor letting his dogs defecate and urinate on his deck(2nd floor), then he sprays it off with a hose, getting all over my deck (1st floor). This is also causing water to come into the property and damage the walls and drywall. This is not the first time, and I and wondering if i need to involve the police because of the fact that it is causing damage to my property. It is also unsanitary to the tenant that is living there to have dog shit and piss be spread onto her belongings. I have reached out to property MGMT of the condominiums.. But they are very slow, and and this cleaning procedure happens very frequently. The property is in Arapahoe County, Colorado. I have video evidence of everything. Thanks for your time!

| My child was adopted but lives with me again... Posted: 09 Jul 2021 06:07 AM PDT TN, USA: My birth child, who was adopted as an infant, has been living with me again. This was his own choice. Adoptive parents live in a different state, but approved the move. He is happy and well adjusted, but I have zero legal guardianship of him. My concerns are how to handle this from the legal perspective, for driver's license, medical insurance, school [loose rules haven't mattered YET, but college application will]. [link] [comments]  |
| Concerned about my sisters wellbeing in my parents house Posted: 08 Jul 2021 11:58 PM PDT On the fourth of July my mom, stepdad, and 3 sisters (10,13, and 17) were visiting along with my roommates 14 year old sister and 16 year old brother. Early into the day the 14 year old approached me about feeling uncomfortable around my stepdad because he was staring her up and down. I adviced her to change her shirt because I didnt want to cause a fuss and sadly my stepdad is known to be creepy around children and my mom has always taken his side and I didnt want to ruin the holiday for my sisters. My mom overheard and confronted me and I told her it was fine and i'd adviced her to change her shirt and it wasn't going to matter. Several hours later my mom suddenly cornered her and started screaming at her for conspiring with my roommate and my sisters to make her husband look like a bad person. I'd already felt guilty enough over what was happening and told my mom to get out of my house. My oldest sister is 17 and could drive herself home but she grabbed my two youngest sisters and took them home. The next day my oldest sister confronted her on all the things my stepdad has done (touched them high up on the thigh, forces them to change in front of him, and watched her when he thought she was asleep). In response my mom kicked her out and showed my stepdad the texts, when she went to pick up her stuff he called her a disgusting and sick person and wasnt welcome in the house. Both of us have also been forbidden from talking to my youngest sisters and any family who let's us talk to them will be forbidden as well. I'm concerned for their safety because my moms actions lead me to believe more is going on behind the scenes than I had thought and both of them deal with severe anxiety and depression that my mom refuses to let them see therapists for. Both me and my girlfriends therapists have told us they need to report this behavior to the state but I've done that before when I was living in that home and nothing happened. I live in california if that helps and dont imagine theres anything I can do but I couldnt live with myself if I didnt try and find options. My mom is also refusing to sign my sisters work permit as punishment but I'm financially stable enough to support her so it's not a huge problem. [link] [comments]  |
| My Brother has Concealed Assets from Inclusion in the Estate. What are my Options? Posted: 09 Jul 2021 06:05 AM PDT In 2014, my father passed away, leaving me and my two older brothers, one of whom was named executor of the estate. At the time, I was 11, and had a lawyer appointed to me, who was supposed to ensure I received my portion of the estate. In early 2020, the estate was settled outside of court, and because there was not more than $50,000 left, The three sons didn't officially receive anything (because of the "elective share" law in NY, USA). However, having been provoked by a separate instance of my brother's misconduct in regards to the life insurance, I started looking into other assets that were not accounted for in the estate.
I have sufficient proof of this between eye witnesses, emails of admission from my brother, and other documents. However, I don't see a way to proceed given the following facts:
My brother is ignoring me also and has indicated he has no intention to work this out on a personal level, and I am willing to hold him accountable, but I am in a place where I don't know how to proceed. I would really appreciate any advice. [link] [comments]  |
| Ex is threatening to take me to court for 1/2 of my home sale. Posted: 08 Jul 2021 07:28 PM PDT This is in Idaho. We moved here 2 years ago and bought a house 1.5 years ago. I just took an offer on it. Closing is next month. Unmarried; She left me 3 weeks ago. Everything is in my name except that she has her name jointly on the water bill for occupancy reasons. She paid half of the bills. I paid half of the bills. We had no previous written agreement about this. But now that she knows about how much i'm making in profit. She believes she is entitled to half. Legally. I was planning on giving her 15k which is more than what she would have paid for her half of the mortgage. And is the maximum federal gift amount to not be taxable. I just want to confirm that since Idaho is a non common law state. That she doesnt have a leg to stand on in court. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 09 Jul 2021 09:38 AM PDT This is text from my late parents' will stating that they are leaving us the house: "I direct that my residuary estate be distributed to my children in equal shares." This is also text regarding the executor of the will, who is by brother: "My executor.....shall have the right and power to lease, sell, mortgage, or otherwise encumber any real or personal property that may be included in my estate, without order of the court and without notice to anyone." Does the second paragraph grant my brother the power to do what he did - take out a loan against the house that we all own equally - without telling any of us? I only found out because I was interested in getting an appraisal and some sleuthing on google on the property showed a lied from a loan company. If I want my siblings to "buy me out" of my ownership in this house, how would that work if there is currently a lien against the house? There are also tensions in my family. We confronted my brother showing the lien and we found the documents he signed showing he took out the loan and he completely denies everything. Please advise. Thanks Edit: location is TX, and the estate is no longer in probate. [link] [comments]  |
| Can my boyfriend's landlord force me to leave immediately if I'm not on the lease? Posted: 09 Jul 2021 12:03 PM PDT Hi there. I moved in with my boyfriend almost a year ago, and never signed any paperwork. He signed an intial lease ~3 years ago and has gone month to month since then. We live in New York. Long story short, he asked her if they could come take care of the lawn (their responsibility) and she lost her mind on him, told him if he didn't like it he could go. Emphasizing with "Seriously, just move out". She served us with a 30 day eviction notice, but that isn't the issue. The issue I'm facing is that when she dropped it off she told me because I never signed any paperwork or anything, that I need to leave immediately. I called our local PD and the officer told me that she can't do that, and that the 30 day notice would just apply to me also. I'm asking here because I've been having an insane amount of anxiety about this, worried that she's gonna show up and cause a scene or something. I just need someone with some grasp on the law to tell me if I'm okay to still be here or not. Google has a miriad of answers but none of them are clear, and I don't have the money to spare to contact a local law firm. TIA [link] [comments]  |
| Can a Landlord charge retroactive rent? Posted: 09 Jul 2021 11:58 AM PDT My lease ended back in 2020 but because of COVID and other circumstances, I never signed the renewal (I was out of the country). I finally spoke with someone from the management company and they drafted a new lease for me to sign. The lease had a standard rent increase of about $70 per month which is normal where I live. What I didn't realize is that the lease was dated from 6/30/2020. (I'm an idiot and didn't notice) I had the option to renew foe wither one year (which would essentially end my lease this month - 7/1/2021) or two years (ending my lease in exactly one year 7- 1/2022). Here's the kicker. As soon as the lease went into effect, my landlord started mailing me collections notices and a bill for unpaid rent. I was immediately confused by this because I always pay my rent on time, even when I was out of the country and my lease had expired, I kept paying the usual amount. Now I am being charged a lump sum of the difference ($70 for 15 months). Is this even legal? I called the management company and the rep said that since the lease I signed dated to 2020, I was responsible for the full amount dating back to 2020. The lease includes a line that says "this renewal shall commence on 7/1/2020, which shall not be less than 90 days nor more than 150 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery of this Renewal Lease form. The form is dated 3/11/2020, and I did not receive it and sign it until 5/28/2021. The landlord also signed it on 5/28/2021. That is beyond the 150 days. Can I argue that what I signed was invalid? TL;DR: Landlord sent me a lease agreement dating back to 2020 and I signed it without reading. Now The landlord is holding me responsible for the rent increase dating back to 2020.

| Posted: 09 Jul 2021 11:48 AM PDT Location: Louisiana, USA My parents got divorced 18 years ago like the title says, and never settled issues with the house. Both names remain on the mortgage while my dad is the one that lives there and is the only person that makes payments on the house. The mortgage has an 8% interest rate, but my dad can't refinance the house or remove my mom's name from the mortgage unless she agrees to it. The only issue is, my mom owes $30,000 in child support to my dad, and refuses to work a job that pays anything other than cash to avoid her wages being garnished, and she refuses to sign anything regarding the house unless my dad "forgives" the $30,000 she owes in child support because she has equity in the house. Is there anything my dad can do to fix this without forgiving then $30,000? Does my mom actually have equity in the house? Is it possible to refinance without both parties agreeing? Thanks for the help. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 09 Jul 2021 07:21 AM PDT It's been 14 days and I've not gotten any reassurance that they will fix the car. Paperwork was signed on day 1. Day 7 I asked for a loaner and was given the run around for 5 days until they finally said they had none available. I've not been offered even the most basic compensation and they only speak to me when I am the one to call them. I still want the car when it is fixed, so I'm not looking to cancel the sale, but what steps can I take to make sure they A) Fix it in a timely manner and/or B) Reimburse me for expenses or the inconvenience of waiting for a car that should NOT have been sold.

| (TX) It has been two years and the person I bought a car from never cashed the check. Posted: 08 Jul 2021 11:28 PM PDT Two years ago I bought a car and I gave the seller two checks on two different occasions. The first time it was for about $4,500 and this was a sort of downpayment so that he could hold the car for me while I waited on the money from my car insurance. Once I got the money a second check was given to the seller for the remaining amount. The seller cashed the second check a couple days later, but never cashed the first one. Once I noticed only one of the checks was cashed I texted the seller to ask when they'd be cashing the other check, but got no response. Over the next couple of months I texted a few more times and tried calling, but never heard from him. I gave it about a year and a half after which I ended up closing the account because there was a maintenance fee of $25, and now that I was back in school I was no longer meeting the financial requirements to have the fee waived. It's now been about two years since all of this and I still haven't heard from him, but I'm feeling a bit paranoid. I feel like closing the account was a mistake, but at the same time I didn't know if he'd ever cash it or if I would just be paying the fee month to month for nothing. If he were to contact me I have his money ready to give him, but I'm worried that he won't contact me and will try to cash it and I'll end up getting in trouble for a bad check. Is there anything I can do from my end at this point? Shortly after I bought the car I moved for grad school so I can't go in person, but I was thinking of writing him another check and mailing it to him, but would there be anything I'd need to do to indicate that this is a "replacement" for the initial one?

| Child w/ Autism Removed from home against family wishes [OH] Posted: 09 Jul 2021 12:08 PM PDT I am writing on behalf of a woman I work with who is the sole, primary caretaker for her grandson. She recently broke her neck, and while in the hospital, family services took her grandson from the home. They have taken him out of his summer school where he had been thriving, and she does not know where specifically her grandson is nor can she speak with him. I don't know many of the details other than she had made some arrangements for him to be taken to summer school while she couldn't drive. I believe she is back home now but obviously without her grandson. I am looking for resources where I can connect the grandmother with a lawyer/advocate to ensure that there is due process in figuring out her grandson's placement. Any advice regarding this would be appreciated. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 08 Jul 2021 07:03 PM PDT A slightly agitated man just (8 July) came to our door saying that he had confirmation from "the Post Office and the post-office general" (I audio-recorded, those are his exact words) that his $500 new grill had been delivered to our house. He was asking for it back. He said that it was delivered on 22 June. He also brought the local police, but the officer stayed in his car and didn't approach us. I told the man that we did not have his package and had not seen it (this is true). He was five feet into my yard when he told me that he was filming us, which was too much for me, so I calmly told him to leave and not come back. He left in short order. The whole engagement was less than two minutes. After he left we talked to the police officer, and I volunteered my info and told him that we were out of town on 22 June and when we returned on 24 June we did not have the alleged package waiting for us. The cop said that he hadn't wanted to be there and understood our frustration with the situation. We got his card and confirmed that we should call the police if the man shows up again. No, we do not have a camera that could confirm any of this, but I don't think that we have anything that we need to prove or disprove. My question is: what kind of possible scam could this be, or how could the situation possibly get like this? The guy definitely doesn't live on our street, so I don't know how the delivery address could be that messed up. We haven't had a single package stolen from our porch since we moved in seven months ago, and when we returned from our trip on 24 June a giant Amazon box (dog food) was waiting on our front porch, so the chances that a package was accidentally delivered to us and then stolen in the three days that we were gone seem very small. Also, why would he come to my house instead of dealing with the place that the package was ordered from, and, then, why would he wait until today to do something about it? Just hoping that someone could have some insight into how this whole situation might have developed. Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| What rights do I have as a tenant? Posted: 09 Jul 2021 11:42 AM PDT I am renting an apartment in Connecticut and my roof started leaking a week ago. They came and repaired some of the interior damage, however never fixed the roof. We now have more water damage in the same area and have a new leak in another area of our apartment. How long am I supposed to wait for them to repair the roof? [link] [comments]  |
