That 16yr old showed some incredible maturity by doing a 180 ensuring his parents don't sue, apologising to the shopkeep and the victim, and encouraging his parents to get his brother a bit of extra help to deal with the challenges of life. You cannot ask for more than that.

Yes that was a great outcome for the shopkeeper and the assaulted girl. The fact someone is not fully mentally functioning does not excuse them assaulting other people.

@@GrowingWithFig Both people in a relationship should have a separate account with at least a little money; most of these stories might have the man cleaning out the accounts, but if it’s joint, really whichever partner gets to it first gets the $$$. It can be abused by either partner. And, unfortunately, you don’t always know the person you marry as much as you think you do, or they change in ways you never thought possible. So it’s always good to have an individual fund. Honestly, in her shoes, as soon as he started becoming emotionally distant, I would have made sure to take at least 50% of that account.

As a lawyer in Texas the animal abuse advice from the police was BS. Leaving an animal with someone for 3 days does not automatically make the animal that person's, particularly when there is a contract and agreement as to ownership. Too often here the police will say that something is a civil matter or needs to be handled outside of the police department. One has to be insistant and go above and above to whoever is the highest supervisor at the police department. Also if animal control saw the threats to behead the cat and walked away, that's a problem obviously and again not in line with Texas law or animal control's operation mandate.

[@shannonwolff2599]

For the guy with his dog, I would sue him in small claims court. You CAN prove that after the dog escaped this guy was very negligent in lying to you and NOT doing everything reasonable to find your dog. The result of that will make it look like he was very negligent all around to the judge. Not sure you'd win but you would have a good reason to sue him personally.

[@beccacapshaw8556]

The guy getting held for 62 days over a crime he didn’t commit deserves compensation, anyone that thinks otherwise is crazy. Why didn’t they do their job and confirm his identity by looking at his ID during the arrest and booking process. This could have all been avoided, especially since the guy that actually did it is a felon. All they needed to do is check the ID and make sure all the information matches what they have on file for the felon.

When my daughter was younger, her mother (that had custody), would leave her with me for weeks at a time, with no way of contacting her or knowing when she would pick our child back up. I attempted a few times to get custody, but every time, Judges kept custody with her mother. One time they raised my child support payments to her mother as the end result of me bringing up the issue of custody to the court! Once she reached school age, I had to endure 6 years of being a non-custodial father, every other weekend visits(more often if permitted). Eventually her mother was arrested(drugs), and I was awarded temporary custody, then finally few months later, full custody, after her mother failed to show up for the court date. What is sad, is that if she showed up, I probably would not of received full custody, just because of the backward thinking of the State I live in.

[@danacarter9147]

You must have been through hell Your daughter would have been in foster care if she had remained with her mother, who was on drugs.

Jimmy's relative should make sure he "bangs on" constantly about how moving Jimmy out of the environment which he knows well and can cope with would remove any and all "quality of life" which he already has. Courts and care are fairly big on "quality of life" issues, so if you can point out that at the moment he has many physical and social activities which keep him (and his mind) occupied and that apart from his food and heating issues, which would be relatively easy to fix, he looks after himself quite well, you'd have a good chance of getting the protective services to allow him to remain where he is. That's especially true if it's obvious that he has an appropriate level of supervision. That's a very important point: Make sure you also make the point (and again, repeat it constantly) that he only needs occasional supervision to ensure he's eating right and someone to ensure his bills are paid on time. It might also be a good idea to mention that not only will this keep Jimmy's quality of life as high as possible, but it's cheaper for the state to keep him in his own home instead of paying a lot of money to keep him in an institution where he'll be miserable and have no quality of life.

When I was the same age as OP (the banned brother from the shop), my older brother who is learning disabled, pulled a six year old behind a store and pretended to have sex with her. They were both fully dressed, but that must have been horrifying and very traumatizing for that child. I was a naïve and stupid kid and felt that my brother didn't understand, and there was no "penetration", so why was everyone making such a fuss. It took ME a couple of years to realize just how traumatizing such an ASSAULT was to anyone, let alone a six year old who didn't even know her attacker (or any six year old). OP learned far quicker than I that defending a disabled relative isn't always the best solution if the disabled relative is in the wrong. I am glad they were hard on my brother, as he appears to have learned his lesson (though he lives with an older sister just to be sure). I feel bad when I think what a callous teen I had appeared to be. I didn't think further than about my brother, whom always seemed to get a bad rap, but in this case I SHOULD have been thinking about his victim. Good job, OP, on learning and growing and maturing. Hopefully you and yours can make your brother understand what he did was wrong and should never be repeated.

I feel like it's a very "accepted" thing and it pisses me off as a high functioning girl. I remember being given a book by an autistic guy and the second paragraph had him mentioning how at his 20s(20s!!!!) he did not know groping his female coworkers was inappropiate for jokes. HOW?

Tbh, there are grown ass, neurotypical men who do shit like that, and based on ops initial reaction, I have no doubt that it has something to do with how they were raised. So, no, I highly doubt it has much, if anything to do with being autistic, or generally neurodivergent, it has to do with their parents not holding their sons accountable, if not encouraging bad behaviour towards women. So, yeah, even if they weren't taught better, that isn't the fault of the victim, and I sincerely hate that it's a genuine cop out that many people accept.

[@Beat105k]

That goes both ways, the amount of females groping males in puplic is astonishing as well, the only difference is, if the males speak up against it nobody believes them or they get told "you liked it", hence why most just accept and go on.

What right did the contractor have to cut down a tree on OP's brother's property? Why wasn't the mother watching her children so that they did not run into the street?

If people cause trouble at a shop they can be banned and the brother needs to understand that he was wrong to assault a woman like this. It is not good to use his autism as an excuse for his brother'a behaviour. No matter what disabilities a person has they still need to be taught right from wrong. Saying the person doesn't understand because of their disability and expecting other people to put with their behaviour is wrong. I have had tinnitus since I was about 27. I am now in my 60's.

ive always had ringing in my ears (tinnitus) since i was a kid (mostly in left ear) so thought this was normal and happens to everyone, i had a lot of ear infections in my left ear so its probably from that but the ringing dont bother me, as ive grown used to it, its annoying, but just so used to it and grown to deal with it, like my migraines, lol. as long as i dont deal with the vibrations again im good, it started vibrating randomly couple months ago when was on the phone and when people talked to me and it hurt a lot, lasted i think 3 days

[@damien678]

hope it's not been vibrating, mate. I've had it since being an edgy teen that was too into loud music lol. I'm lucky I have ADHD because always having something on to listen to helps me concentrate, instead of being a distraction. I also live in an industrial area and genuinely appreciate the background noise of work

[@rileystewart9927]

@@damien678 I've had it vibrating a few times in the past when I talked on the phone, but it's not from loud music as a kid. Idk what it was from, but I know that year I had a busted ear drum as well

Notify CPS and police about her drug use showing them the screenshots. The first one notifying police and CPS tend to be regarded as having the high moral ground. GET a lawyer.

[@sunflorals]

oml that poor girl that got forced into the brace. i can't say the shit i endured was anywhere near as bad because it was more psychological than physical but i also had problems with my stepmom having "issues" with simple/unintentional things i did as a kid (ie. a lisp, loud/fast chewing) and took it upon herself to "fix" them via tactics that have had severe lasting effects on my mental health while my dad did jack shit about it. it's fucking bullshit and i'm glad to hear that her dad & stepmom got arrested, they deserve to rot for doing that shit to a kid.

Sadly the state of things means a child has to be severely harmed before they are protected.

I have to say, I'm extremely jealous of the price of housing there. They're talking about paying $130/sqft with an older price of $155/sqft. Where I live the average is currently $904/sqft.

If it's at the curb, it's abandoned and free to take? What about the moving van? All the cars parked on the street? Garbage logic. And WOW! A beneficial HOA? You gotta be kidding!

[@tegantalks9612]

I don’t know what chain the couple was staying at, but when I worked for holiday inn upon checking in we had paperwork that stated if you were caught smoking in the room, you could be charged a $500 fine. With that being said, in order to charge that fine we had to have some sort of physical proof, we couldn’t just go on smell alone. One couple left almost half a joint in the sink on top of the room smelling heavily of marijuana so it was easy to charge them.

[@avery1999]

My MIL does rover as a hobby here in Canada (she and FIL are retired on a large property with plenty of open space) and she was appalled at how OP's dog-sitter acted. If she ever lost a client's dog she'd have the owner in the loop the whole time, and would actively go out and search for them.

Grandparents have no right to command a paternity test. Besides, if the child was born during your marriage, the courts will take a presumptive stance that you are the child’s father 1:16:50

I really hope the dog owner sued that Rover dog sitter. They are constantly losing dogs.

[@_Fizel_]

The 'autistic brother assaults a girl' poster wasn't wrong for defending their brother, this just defended the wrong points. There is still a lot of discrimination and demonizing of autistic people, so OP would have learned to defend his brother as he grew up. I'm not saying anything about the consequences was wrong here, but I can still see why OP defended the brother so vehemently. OP is a great person for going to his parents and speaking up that they've basically been babying his brother for far too long.

On the arrest, call around and find a lawyer to file a probono false arrest claim and throw the book at the cops, prosecutor and I'd also throw the public defender under the bus with Bar association for his negligence.

The hot water guy should call the housing inspector to come and check the unit. They can give tickets or find for every such as plumbering, electrical, structural, etc. This is the guy all landlords hate.

If you had the couch for several generations its probably an antique so worth more than you think.

[@cass973]

The hospice care story- I worked in a similar care service and some landlords will have issues with someone being in the home 24hrs a day even when the tenant needs 24hr care. The landlord/HOA can't do anything if you have Doctor statements and the care working has their own residence somewhere else. Some landlords/HOAs don't care if you are dying or disabled they can be cruel. I don't understand people with no empathy for others. And yes I fully listened to the story and realize it was the roommate but thought I would share similar experiences. I hope it helps someone

[@WardenSpectreCommander]

She's a drug addict, get full custody . She is a danger in her current state.

[@danacarter9147]

That's right. The mother's drinking, hard-partying, reckless driving, drug addiction, and the child abandonment will literally get CPS involved; if she does that crap again, and leaves the kid at home, with no adult supervision, CPS will have to place him in the foster care system, or with another family.

*ABSOLUTELY* get in touch with a financial advisor. BUT! Don't wait until you "have money"! That's kinda the point... To "get" money! They will help you figure out how. And don't forget about a life insurance policy. Preferably you do this when you're young & can get a cheap *whole* life policy. Seriously. It's like less than what you kids spend on phones & internet! A little financial discomfort now will pay off 10 fold later. I pinky swear promise! Luv, An old boomer who's just figuring this stuff out!

Abandonment is not kidnapping. Copy previous posts, go to cops a d get a lawyer, rescend custody rights.

[@Neokogirl]

The Walmart story: Unfortunately how they found the ps4 is a common scam and without a receipt there was no chance anyone would approve any sort of solution. This is why you keep receipts of all high dollar and electronic purchases in case something happens or its found out that it is default which happens sometimes. It's not just Walmart but all stores would not allow such a return because of how often that scenario is used as a scam and the high dollar price. If it was approved, whoever approved that would be in a ton of trouble.

[@iceprincess2134]

I moved into a new house recently and I need the trees of my neighbors on both sides trimmed. *Fingers crossed* I don't need a tree lawyer.

You’d need the owner of the trees (which might not be your neighbors if it is a housing development) permission, or proof the overhanging branches are a danger to your property.

Get a lawyer, document and save everything, open a case with CPS, and fight for custody to save your kid

[@JoB1019]

OP should definitely contact the ACLU. OP might also want to consider seeing if a general or civil litigation attorney might agree to take a case on contingency against the PD, DA, arresting officers, and/or PD (to me, as described, all failed OP and taxpayers); if moving to this, though, I'd suggest hiring one from another city, if possible. If the ACLU rejects the case for some odd reason, they still may offer a recommendation/referral to a private attorney. But...imo, after you deal with that matter and/or afUter obtaining his attorney's okay, OP should also file a grievance against (at least) his public defender with the Wisconsin State Bar Association.M

[@nathanpond27]

17:14 being in the Spectrum does not allow you to commit crimes. The girl could easily file a police report for this action. I doubt the brother has never been told in school that it is never okay to touch another person without their consent. This is not just a social norm that he may not be familiar with. This is a law that is taken very seriously in most places.

[@NickanM]

100% I am most fascinated over the fact that OP and his parents thinks that committing sekksual assaults are totally acceptable bEcAuSe aUtIsM. The parents failed the brother really, really badly, he has enough problems dealing with his disability, the last thing he needs is to get a reputation in his neighborhood as being a r ▪︎ pist, creep and a potentially dangerous man _thanks to his parents inability to raise him with healthy boundaries. I feel bad for him, he is a victim of their (non) parenting._
