Answers:
contact the post office, but really not alot they can do without a ref number, did you keep the recipe from the post office, they might be able to trace it from there, hope you find it,all the best
Check with the post office that you sent it from, i think they take a note of the receipt number, but if not they should be able to help you.
I believe you can track it on line these days. Never done it but a quick search on the web should confirm

I NEED TO TALK TO A LAWYER. If you can tell me a website where I can talk to a Lawyer free that would be great
I need to find a website where I can talk to a lawyer. It is like IMing but it would be to a lawyer. PLEASE HELP!!!1
Answers:
Will you come to work for me for free?
Talk to a lawyer for free??
Hahahahahahahahah
you must be kidding that would be like talking to a doctor through IM. How do you know it is a doctor or lawyer and how do you know you are getting correct advise, especially since you want it for free, remember you get what you pay for. Laws vary from state to state and lawyers practice different specialties in law, so just talking to any lawyer won't work. Call your state bar and ask them for a referral to a lawyer. Plus a lawyer has professional liability, I would not trust any legal advise from an attorney who works over the internet.
most lawyers and attorneys offer free consultation, so contact one in the town where you live or contact the american bar association attorney referral service.
90% of all lawyers offer the first visit as a free consultation so please don't hesitate in contacting one.
Look up lawyers in your area and call them. Do a search for "lawyers near..." and input your city/state.
good luck!
After going through 7-8 years of hard studying day nd night college I think they wanna get paid for something. Thats how they support there family. If they didnt charge anything then they would be broke.
try www.expertlaw.com not everyone there is a Lawyer but there are Lawyer son site in fact site is run by an Attorney
Look in the phone book. Lawyers own phone books.
FYI guys, times have changed. Lawyers are using the Internet, not just for the time savings, but because they can handle a lot more clients at once. It's not necessarily the lawyers themselves, but the people they have working for them around the clock.
I've done computer work for several law firms, and can tell you the successful ones are always on the cutting edge of technology. It's cheaper and more effective than working through phones, so it is the wave of the future.
Meanwhile, this guy needs some help.
Paste this into your browser: "free consultation lawyer" without the quotes, of course, followed by your state or major metropolitan area, and do your search.
Good luck, and don't agree to pay for anything until you meet a real lawyer in person.
Sorry, there isn't one. Try your local legal aid people and talk to one in person.

I need to report child abuse/neglect?
I need to report child abuse/neglect, who are the best people to call?
Answers:
Call Child protective services. If it is going on right now call 911, immediately.
DUH---911
local police if it's happening right now or the dept of children and family services.
Your local wefare office.OR sheriffs department
Phone the police, they will direct you, But make sure you are not doing this maliciously, or you could be charged or sued.
Your state must have a Department of Children Services or a similar such name.
Consult your blue pages in the phone book. You will find the right dept there.
I would not call the police unless there is very bad conspicuous abuse. These state agencies are in the end tougher than the police who are only for emergencies, not family problems.
I just don't think they would give the child what he needs most. But they could on the other hand refer the case to the state agency however.

I need to obtain power of attorney of my Grandmother who lives in California. How do I go about doing so.?
My grandmother needs to be moved into a nursing home.
Answers:
Usually the nursing home can help you in obtaining the power of attorney, but try http://www.martindale.com/ for lawyer in California to help you.
Hire an attorney where your Grandmother lives. He can draw up the P/A document. Try handelonthelaw.com for an attorney in her area.
POA is a document drawn up by a lawyer for a person who, at the time of signing, has decision making capability. This gives the POA the authority to act on behalf of the person when they can no longer make decisions for themselves. You need to consult an attorney.
If they are currently mentally incapacitated they really cannot sign a legally binding document. If you are next of kin, you may be the decision maker by default.
Try the site below and watch the movie. This is the most affordable way to get access to a Quality Law Firm you can trust and afford.
A power of attorney does NOT have to be drawn up by an attorney. In fact, if you do have a power of attorney signed by your grandmother it will be invalid for what you want to do.
What you need is to file for Guardianship through the court so that you have control over the body of the person. A power of attorney allows you only to make legal decisions over the person, not the body.

I need to make a poster to put in the office to assist the staffs in the event of a terrorist attack?
Answers:
Go to the local fire departments web sight, check out FEMA'S sight, check out CERT.com, ask a local Security Officer at a local Hospital, they all have excellent ideas! Hope this helps!
Put up a poster of Bin Laden
caption:
Don't Worry Bush has everything in Control
good for you. are you asking for help at all?
This cannot be a serious question, and it is offensive to make a mockery out of the still-open wounds of 9-11.
Call Homeland Security. The number is in your phone book. I'm sure they have what you are looking for.
It depends if your company has a detailed plan for responding to a terrorist attack or any disaster for that matter.
For instance, airplanes crash, fuel trucks blow-up, earthquakes, weather events or electrical black-outs occur all the time without terrorism being a factor.
If your company does not have a plan, it should make one for just such a contingency. Establish a method of communication that does not depend on telephones or electricity such as portable two-way radios in with key personnel.
Once you have a plan, then any poster should be designed to encourage people to familiarize themselves with the plan. There is not a single response to attack or any disaster that is always correct.
For instance, poison gas or radiation? It is better to stay inside and close off all ventilator systems. For an explosion that has damaged the structure, evacuation is best. If a threat exists on the North side of the building you want to evacuate people to the South.
.
I write and produce a book that has some handy plans to cut out and display with information about what to do in the event of terrorist attack with NBC weapons, explosions etc etc contact me for details there is also a lot of useful information in there

Here's some information on a few of the reasons paypal freezes accounts..
Why PayPal freezes (aka limits, aka restricts) user accounts and how to get it unfrozen (aka unlimited, aka unrestricted).
Knowing why PayPal froze your account has a lot to do with how to get it unfrozen.
Based on others stories and experiences, here are some possible reasons:
you have more than one PayPal account, or PayPal thinks you have more than one PayPal account.
you clicked on a link in an email that you thought was from PayPal, but it really was a phishing expedition.
you moved into a house or apartment that used to be occupied by a con artist who used PayPal to steal.

Sorry about your trouble but I have no idea who to complain to. I closed my account because of emails I kept getting that said I had purchased something (which were spam from people who wanted my information). Paypal is not to be trusted.
what? you sold something that wasnt as advertised, or buyer changed their
mind? ivestagations take time, that same 500$ is being withheld to the one who complained.
Ummm that email isnt nonsense, its pretty clear to me. Obviously, someone filed against you. If the situtation was reversed and you bought something that wasnt not as described, would you want a super speedy judgement in favor of the seller? No. So just wait and work with them.

Top 3 PayPal Questions
Can PayPal hold my money with no explanation? The answer is YES.
Can PayPal freeze my account for no reason? The answer is YES.
Can PayPal take money out of my account without my knowledge?
The answer is YES.
Yes, by all means go to the BBB. They actually take Paypal Inc. complaints. They are very fast, do it on the internet and file the complaint. Take the rest of your money out right away before filing the complaint, because they'll seek revenge. They are one of the meanest companies, together with Bally fitness..
Forget about the BBB. If PayPal is a member of its local BBB, it will be in good standing as long as it pays its membership fees.
I have never seen a case in which a report to the BBB helped to resolve an issue for a consumer.
I have never checked a BBB rating for a member and don't know anyone else who has. The BBB is an out-of-date institution.

I need to know what type of attorney I need to sue a business that dumped cement illegally on my property? kd
I own commercial property worth over $300,000.00 and local cement companies dump over 100,000 tons of cement onto this property. First it is not zoned as a dump site, the city knew it was happening and did not stop it, and finally if it was legal(which it wasn't), there were on permits to do this? I need to know what type of attorney to retain to sue the cement companies. I live in Nueces Cty, TX. Does anyone have a specific attorney they know that does this type of work?
Answers:
You want a litigator with experience in real estate matters. You're not going to succeed with suit against the city, because the city did not owe you any duty to stop the dumping. If there really is 100,000 tons of concrete, the property is basically worthless, as it costs more than $3 to move a ton of concrete. The real problem is that it sounds like there is more than one company dumping, but you can sue each of them for the whole damage under an acting in concert theory.
Look in the Martindale-Hubbell directory for lawyers in Nueces. You will want one with an aV rating. Good luck.
I would enlist the services of a corporate lawyer %26 give him the "hard "facts of the case.

I need to know what a prelimary hearing in a criminal case means?
Answers:
It means they want to determine if there is enough reason to go to trial
1) It's a hearing by a judge, held in felony cases, to determine whether there is probable cause to hold a person charged with a crime for trial.
or-
2) A probable cause hearing which screens felony criminal cases by deciding whether there is enough evidence to warrant a trial. If the judge determines there is sufficient evidence, the defendant is "bound over" for trial. The defendant may waive this hearing.
They both mean the same thing...
isn麓t that where the judge decides whether or not there is a case to answer
A preliminary hearing is just what It says it is a pre-trial to see if there is enough evidence to actually have a trial. They do this in order to get rid of trials that does not need to be presenter to the judge. In other words they don't want to waste the judges time.
A preliminary hearing is a hearing held by the court in which the government needs to present enough evidence to show that there is sufficient evidence to have a charge against someone (what some people refer to as "probable cause"). It is usually required to be held within a short time after the arrest (such as 20 days), and is usually limited to felonies (generally crimes that carry more than a year in jail as a possible sentence). It usually consists of a witness taking the stand on behalf of the government's case, usually a police officer, who explains what the evidence is. The legal rules are a little more flexible, as the witness is allowed to talk about what other people, including police officers or witnesses, told the witness about what happened (that is usually referred to as "hearsay" and is usually not allowed, but it is allowed during a preliminary hearing). The hearing may or may not also include a discussion on the defendant's release conditions, if any (e.g., whether the defendant should be released if he or she is in jail, what monetary bond is appropriate, is the defendant doing all that the court was requiring of him or her if they are on their personal promise to return). It is usually the first time that the defendant has a chance to challenge the evidence presented by the govenrment, as well as the first time that a court gets to review the evidence after having it challenged by the defendant. It is not a trial, however, and therefore the lvel of proof required by the government is not very high ("probable cause"-which is generally defined as more likely than not to have happened- as opposed to the trial, which is "beyond a reasonable doubt.")
A preliminary hearing is a hearing where the judge decides if there was enough probable (more likely than not) cause for the arrest. If the judge decides that there was not enough probable cause, he or she may dismiss the charge, but even if the charge is dismissed the prosecuting agency may direct indict (take it to a grand jury) for the same charge. They don't always do this, but for serious charges they almost always do.

see my boyfriend n i are going to cali soon and we have are whole trip payed for including the car . i dont drive but my man does (n yes he is over 25 yrs old to rent a car) but he has 2 duis on his record one back 5 yrs ago and the 2nd last auguest. how are the laws out there for ppl that have duis and are renting a car? is it going to be a problem? he do got his liencse back so i dont see how there will be a problem but are they going to look up his recored when we go get our car? also we dont want to call the rental place and be like so does it matter bout the duis!! please someone help me out! if we dont have a car dont know how we going to get around! pleaseno stupid answers thanks!!
Answers:
California law has nothing to do with this. The issue is the rental policies of the car rental agency. If they have a policy that prohibits renting to someone with a DUI, that is prerogative. There is no law in California that would force them to rent to your boyfriend.
BTW, you can never move to "Cali" since there is no such place! You are as bad as when people call San Fransisco "Frisco." WRONG TERM, deary! and yes, it does make a difference!
When you come to "CALIFORNIA" or "CA" the rental places say you must be 25. I don't think they check your driving record but you must show a valid drivers license!

I need to know a lawyer's duties/responsibility's. Thanks!?
I need to know what a lawyer does.
Answers:
The lawyer's basic duty is to zealously represent the interests of the client. This representation can, obviously, take many forms, and is subject to the laws of the state in which the representation takes place.
What that means is that the lawyer should, within the law, take all reasonable steps to obtain the best possible outcome for the client. Specifically how that is done varies by the type of case and the facts of the situation.
I'm sorry, but a lawyer does far too much to answer here. At the very least, a lawyer handles the client's legal matters in any number of transactions, be it a contract, a will, a real estate purchase, a lawsuit or criminal matter. A lawyer will guide their client through the unfamiliar legal terrain in an attempt to get the best possible outcome. A lawyer will protect the client's legal rights when they are threatened. A lawyer will make sure that the client is not agreeing to anything that is not in his or her best interests.
A lawyer is reponsible for protecting the client and following the law.
As an excon I can assure you that your lawyer has basically no responsibilities toward you that they do not wish to have. All that they have to do to be legally considered "adequate council" is be:
a. Alive
b. in the courtroom
c. sign two or three pieces of paper.
Moreover the court appointed traitor will sell you out on a plea "bargain"(how many of them have experienced the "bargain" of institutions?)almost as soon as they are given your case by the court. It is simple economics--they get X amount of cash no matter what they do so they do as little as possible.
If you have to have a lawyer you need to either:
a. find some blackmail leverage on the Public pretender(this works)
b. If you are really desperate, flirt with them(this can work too.)
or
c. HIRE ONE(this is the best option available)
So in summary if you have a public pretender, they do as little as possible, and always go for the plea "bargain". But if you pay for a lawyer you will most likely either get a lesser charge or no charge.
Pay the money, do not find out the hard way as I have so many times.

Moreover the court appointed traitor will sell you out on a plea "bargain"(how many of them have experienced the "bargain" of institutions?)almost as soon as they are given your case by the court. It is simple economics--they get X amount of cash no matter what they do so they do as little as possible.
If you have to have a lawyer you need to either:
a. find some blackmail leverage on the Public pretender(this works)
b. If you are really desperate, flirt with them(this can work too.)
or
c. HIRE ONE(this is the best option available)
So in summary if you have a public pretender, they do as little as possible, and always go for the plea "bargain". But if you pay for a lawyer you will most likely either get a lesser charge or no charge.
Pay the money, do not find out the hard way as I have so many times.
I need to help for a friend that is giving up on life cause child support?
I have a friend that is not making it at all . He lost his high paying job for fed ex he pays $1900 in child support and it keeps building he was expecting $949 dollars back pay to get caught up on his rent and utlitys for unemployment which child support took it all ..fro his rent and utlitys he works another job and only makes $99 every two weeks his rent alone $400 dollars I had to put him in the hospital cause he was sucidal he has nothing cant afford lawyer is there any one that can help on what to do ? legal or illgally because governer screwing him! they expect him to live on $198 a month ..Another friend of mine just hung him self because of child support whats a person to do ?
Answers:
He doesn't need a lawyer to have his case re-evaluated by child support. Have him call the child support office and find out what he needs to do. Or look it up online for your particular state. Child support can be modified when the parents circumstances change.
They are not supposed to take more money than you own. Someone in my family had to pay, and the child support was adjusted so that the person could still live. Child support wouldn't help the child if the one paying dies. I don't know for sure about other states, I only know about N.Y.
He needs to find a job. The government doesn't have the money to pay for him to stay home all day. He still needs to support himself. When he's reasonable stable, have him find a good job that he will like.
Well.first I would say that his circumstances have changed and he should request a new court date to present the facts to the judge so that he can get the child support lowered.
As to what he should do? and I don't say this lightly...don't have kids if you aren't in a position to support them.
he shld of kept it in his pants...problem solved.
If he is no longer able to pay his child support because he doesn't make enough, contact the lawyer/judge that decided on the child support amount he pays now. See if you can get it reduced since his circumstances have changed.
Give up all of his rights - then he won't owe child support!
The government is NOT screwing him! He's the one who decided to make all of the bad moves to avoid paying child support!!!!!! I most certainly would NOT feel sorry for him!

I need to have rubbish skip placed on my front garden, neighbours car obstructs, and wont move, my rights r ?
my house has front garden where skip is to be placed as alterations are made, cant be parked in road.
Answers:
park the skip on top of his car lol.
only joking phone the police and explain it to them that you are having a skip placed in your front garden but your neibours car is there but he refuses to move it the police will ten ask him to move it if that fails put the skip in your neigbours garden or fill his car up with your rubbish.hope this helps
the neighbour is parking in front of your house?
if this is the case tell him to move it, or you will :)
or you could just call the police and get them to talk to the neighbour
when your neighbour goes out park your car in his place, failing that try smacking him when no witnesses about
have it towed, oops let me guess the street is public...it is not a matter of your rights, unless there is a city ordanance requiring the car to be moved,,, but if it is a car that is current in registration and operates then not much you can do.call the code enforcement.
If a car can be parked in front of your house, so can a skip. That needs council permission, but would solve the problem, as it can only go where they say it can go, which would mean the Police could ask him to move his car.
what does it say in title deeds as to the outside of property

I need to find the Florida statute that says an employer must pay for hours worked. Any ideas?
I have a person who works at a large company. This company recently told her that she will not get paid for her work last week, because the work was, "easy." We all know that is ridiculous, but I need to find the Florida or Federal Statute that specifically says an employer is required to pay for hours worked.
Answers:
Here's the Federal Statute you're looking for:

check with the Dept. of labor or contact your local Chamber of Commerce for possible help
The two websites below will assist you in finding the answers specific to your problem.
Best wishes.
Use the sites previously listed or look on the employee bulletin board right where she works. They are required to post the Fair Labor Standards Act which stipulates employee rights. Not having this posted for all to read is a violation of the Act and the feds will fine them and rectify any problems.

with a very big problem. It involves the Orchard Park
Police, and the Erie County Child Protective Services.
We have gone to speak with senior officials of both
government entities to no avail.
We have been having issues with trying to get my
fianc茅es daughter help with her parenting skills. To
date she has refused to work with us in the proper
care of her 8 month old infant son Matthew. She
has been known to mistreat him and we were trying
to get her to be a proper parent.
On May 23rd, 2007, the parent in question, Ashley
Jessmer, phoned the Orchard Park Police with
false accusations about her mother, Theresa Jessmer,
and I, Andrew Zebrun III. She had been seeing her
boyfriend, Jeffery S. Hinman, in violation of a court
order of protection because he killed her unborn
child of 4 months last Jan. 25th 2007.
She told the Orchard Park Police that she was in
fear of her life, which is not true!

I need to file for visitations i recently moved from texas to florida. my child still lives in texas where tof
i recently moved from texas to florida. my child still lives in texas where do i file at
Answers:
You will have to file in the county, state your child lives in.
Generally, you must file at the court in which the last custody hearing or variance of a custody order was held. According to your post, that would be somewhere in Texas. It can usually be done by mail, unless the custody hearing was a particularly contentious one. Yep, if your child is in Texas, you should fine in Texas anyway. Call the courthouse in your area just to be sure, okay? They'll have people there who will know. Good luck!
Just a point of order. Court personnel are NOT ALLOWED by law to give legal advice. Asking them where you need to file crosses the line of information to legal advice.
If the child still lives in the state that issued the original or subsequent order, then that's where you file. Otherwise, "Home state" rule applies and you can either file in Florida and have the courts determine jurisdiction or ceed jurisdiction to the home state of the child.

I need someone to answer this question..THAT KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT!!!!!!!!?
A patient鈥檚 father calls to find out the result of his son鈥檚 test for HIV. What is your response to this father? Why? Explain.
How do I medically and for the most part ethically answer this question? What is the actual medical LAW in giving out this type of information?
Answers:
My response is:
I'm sorry but that information is priviledged under HIPPA. If you require further information, please contact our in-house consel.
EDITED BASED ON ADDITIONAL ANSWERS:
By the way, those of you who answered it depends on the state, the age of the child or anything else other than the above, I suggest you read the situation very carefully.
First, information such as this relayed over the phone is actionable as a violation of HIPPA and medical privacy laws of the individual states, REGARDLESS of the age of the child.
Also, HIPPA is a federal statute and unless there are more stringent state laws in place in the location, the Federal statute prevails.
The U.S. Supreme court has already ruled on a minor's right to self-directed medical care. This is not an issue.
But, if you would read the EXACT wording of the post, you would notice that this is a matter of notification without identification (i.e., over the phone.) and THAT matter is plainly covered under HIPPA.
If you're in a position where you test patients for AIDS and have to relay this information back to them, you should really know the answer already.
Its a no- no if the son is over 18. Its a HIPPA violation and you could get in a lot of trouble for disclosing that info
First how old is the son? I am assuming he is an adult. Your response would be I'm sorry your son's medical information is confidential and you need to ask your son for that information. HIV has it's own confidentiality law as well as the HIPAA laws.
With HIV confidentiality there has to be a release allowing for just the release of the HIV info that does not cover other medical info. So even if he has his father down as being able to receive medical information you still can not disclosed HIV results without the son's explicit request that his father be able to receive his HIV results.
I would tell the father that if he is not listed in the patient's file as a person who can receive medical information about him then I could not give him the information. This is because of the HIPPA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) laws for privacy that are now heavily enforced.
If the patient became upset that his information is released, even to a family member he could sue.
If the son is a minor, the dad can get the results. If the son is an adult, then it is prohibited (unless the son specifically allows his dad to have access to results) HIPPA guards patient medical records.
HIPPS states that you can not give ANY information out to anyone but the patient. Unless the patient is under 18 and the child of the person asking. I would say something along the lines of "Im sorry but I can not give any info out on the patient without his/her consent" That is the law and it is clear.
the answer depends on where you live. states may have different statutes and regulations regarding such matters.
where i live (New Mexico), you would have to explain to the father that his son's test is confidential, and can only be released to the son or to a person that the son has authorized to receive the information. That is even true if the son is still a minor.
but it may be different where you live.
privacy laws prevent anyone from recieving info on any other patients care unless the person you are getting the info for is a minor..if they are over 18 the doctor or nurse cannot give this info out to anyone else..they are breaking the law if they did and i would prusue it
My response would be sorry sir but I can not give out that information under the privacy act law. Because it is against the law for you to give out someones medical history unless you are given a written agreement from that person to do so.
It depends on the age of the patient, if the patient is under aged you should probably calmly, and sympathetically explain to the parent the conditions , and answer any questions and concerns he will then have , to the best of your abilities, also be aware there may be anger, frustration and disbelief on the side of the parent, this is a normal SHOCK reaction, and give them the time and space to work it out , don't take anything personally , and remain available to answer questions or at least guide them in the right direction..If the patient is of age then you must respect patient confidentiality laws, and explain that to the parent make it short and sweet , I'm sorry but i cannot disclose any information on the patients condition.
Hope this helps.. Good luck!
HIPAA prevents you from telling anyone about the patient's condition without his express WRITTEN permission. Your response must be "I'm sorry, Mr ______, but HIPAA prevents me from disclosing this information."
There is no other option.
It's called "confidentiality"!
No matter who calls, this information cannot be given out; not even the patient!
The patient will need to come into the office and get the results themselves. In some States, it's even required for the patient to "show valid id".
1st of all its a coded responce meant only for the one being tested, to get the answer..

I need some reassurance--reported ex-husband to ICE...?
Two years ago he pled guilty for 3rd degree felony sexual assault of a teen girl. He is not a citizen, but he has a green card. This week he was arrested AGAIN for probation violation. We were married almost eight years and we have three children together. I reported him to the ICE today because legally he should have been deported a long time ago, is that right? Please reassure me that I did the right thing...and what will happen to him now? Can he be deported immediately?
Answers:
Don't worry yourself over this. You where in the right to call them. If your marriage to him got him the green card tell them you are no longer married. Also if he has assaulted a girl the chances he will do it again are high. You want him as far away from your children as possible. Do you have sole custody of the children? If not get it, keep the children safe from him.
You did the right thing. If I were you I'd report it to my two US Senators, my Congressman, the Attorney General of your state and the county sheriff. The sooner this guy is deported the better.
yes you did the right thing this time. anyone who sexually assault's anyone is not a good person, they are predators.
I hope he can be deported right now. If you don't hear anything keep calling.They will get him.Good luck Dear.
hm...interesting story I can't wait to hear/see the out come of this
Not only should your ex-husband be deported, based upon his felony conviction, the law states that he should also be banned from returning.

I need some opinions from people who are for Death Penalty?
We are having a debate in class tomorrow, and just so I can get prepared I want some thoughts
Answers:
First of all, an eye for an eye. If you don't believe in what God says, then use common sense. When a person kills another, that means they have no respect for human life. If someone kills once, chances are they won't hesitate to do it again. Look at most murders and you'll see that they are commited not in self-defense, but in commision of other crimes such as burglaries, robberies, fights. or even worse, for the hell of it, like in drive-by shootings and gang related crimes or initiations. Once a person takes a human life, especially, for no reason, I think this person does not deserve to live any more. There's no need for those animals to be in our societies, not even in prisons. If their innocent victims are dead, why should we care about or spare their -the murderers'- lives ? Some people say executing them "won't bring their victims back", I don't know who came up with this crap. The purpose of punishment is not to give something back to the victims anyway. The whole purpose of it is to make you pay for your bad deeds and rid societies of evil people. Putting murderers in prison doesn't bring back their victims either. However, it is a big burden on societies considering the cost of keeping those animals in prison. And if you look at the justice system, you'll see that in many cases it does no justice to the victims. A lot of murderers get away with ridiculously light sentences. Ask someone who's lost a loved one in a crime and see how angry they are to see the killer get out of prison after only a few years while they have to live in pain for the rest of their lives. On the other hand, many of the families of murder victims feel a great sense of satisfaction when the murderer pays the ultimate price. I think if anything, the laws should be changed to speed up executions and make it easier to put more murderers on death row.
These monsters will never hurt another Innocent victim again. I think they should shorten the appeals process too. they are sitting far too long on death row.
an eye for an eye.
Recidivism is one good reason. Recidivism is the rate at which criminals who have served thier prison scentence go on to get caught committing other crimes.
The recidivism rate among US ex-cons is 60%.
The recidivism rate among persons executed is 0%.
Those against the death penalty have two reasons for believing as hey do:
1) Death is too harsh a penalty for any crime
2) If you mess up and execute the wrong guy, you've essentially committed murder.
I can't possibly understand why anyone believes reason #1, but many bleeding hearts do, as they seem to have loads of sympathy for the criminal and little for the victim.
As far as reason #2, it is a great concern, but, there are so many opportunities for the accused to get new trials/appeals that execution of the "not guily" is exceedingly rare. That being said, "not guilty" doesn't mean "innocent". I can't think of a single case of where the accused was really innocent...virtually everyone on death row has a LONG history of violence, and in my opinion, they are garbage and aren't worth worrying over.
**** deathrow..them dummies is cowards
a good stance to debate on is a space issue, theres not enough room of money to house all the prisoners.
The only problem I have with the death penalty is it takes so long to rid our society from these creeps whom think I's okay to hurt others.With no conscious of their actions.It should be the same day they are given the death penalty.
death penalty advocates say 1. dp eliminates a violent menace to society, 2. dp is cheaper than incarceration for life, 3. dp is payback for past misdeeds, 4. the Christian Bible says an "eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth".
The death penalty is cost effective, thousands of taxdollars spent each year to keep them in prison... libraries, clean clothes, food, electricity, to name a few.
Those that have killed and are not sorry need to go to a "higher court", they have the opportunity to make amends, have a painless death and know the exact date it will happen. Not many of us, including their victims, get that luxury.
Ok well since you can't exactly use words like "dummy" and "scumbags" in class,I assume those other answers were a bit useless.Anyway,there have been plenty of cases where convictions were overturned based on new evidence and they were yes,found not guilty,which doesn't equate innocent.Innocent isn't determined by the court but if you have dna evidence against someone else and/or they confessed,then no,you don't deserve to die for another persons crime and I hope whoever said that never has to go through the agony of being sentenced to die or a family member and they are innocent.Shame on you.Remember Karma is a biiiitchThe argument I would have for the death penalty would always be if you or your family has been a victim of a violent crime then you would feel differently than just an outsider against the death penalty.My cousin was murdered last year and the guy confessed and plead guilty and still managed to get 40 years-he's only 19.I say,if you confess,plead guilty, and it's eligible than yes,you should recieve it.Just my 2 cents.
words of people who know victims of violent crimes.
he was such a good kid,, always quiet and kept to himself.

Ask someone who's lost a loved one in a crime and see how angry they are to see the killer get out of prison after only a few years while they have to live in pain for the rest of their lives. On the other hand, many of the families of murder victims feel a great sense of satisfaction when the murderer pays the ultimate price. I think if anything, the laws should be changed to speed up executions and make it easier to put more murderers on death row.
These monsters will never hurt another Innocent victim again. I think they should shorten the appeals process too. they are sitting far too long on death row.
an eye for an eye.
Recidivism is one good reason. Recidivism is the rate at which criminals who have served thier prison scentence go on to get caught committing other crimes.
The recidivism rate among US ex-cons is 60%.
The recidivism rate among persons executed is 0%.
Those against the death penalty have two reasons for believing as hey do:
1) Death is too harsh a penalty for any crime
2) If you mess up and execute the wrong guy, you've essentially committed murder.
I can't possibly understand why anyone believes reason #1, but many bleeding hearts do, as they seem to have loads of sympathy for the criminal and little for the victim.
As far as reason #2, it is a great concern, but, there are so many opportunities for the accused to get new trials/appeals that execution of the "not guily" is exceedingly rare. That being said, "not guilty" doesn't mean "innocent". I can't think of a single case of where the accused was really innocent...virtually everyone on death row has a LONG history of violence, and in my opinion, they are garbage and aren't worth worrying over.
**** deathrow..them dummies is cowards
a good stance to debate on is a space issue, theres not enough room of money to house all the prisoners.
The only problem I have with the death penalty is it takes so long to rid our society from these creeps whom think I's okay to hurt others.With no conscious of their actions.It should be the same day they are given the death penalty.
death penalty advocates say 1. dp eliminates a violent menace to society, 2. dp is cheaper than incarceration for life, 3. dp is payback for past misdeeds, 4. the Christian Bible says an "eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth".
The death penalty is cost effective, thousands of taxdollars spent each year to keep them in prison... libraries, clean clothes, food, electricity, to name a few.
Those that have killed and are not sorry need to go to a "higher court", they have the opportunity to make amends, have a painless death and know the exact date it will happen. Not many of us, including their victims, get that luxury.
Ok well since you can't exactly use words like "dummy" and "scumbags" in class,I assume those other answers were a bit useless.Anyway,there have been plenty of cases where convictions were overturned based on new evidence and they were yes,found not guilty,which doesn't equate innocent.Innocent isn't determined by the court but if you have dna evidence against someone else and/or they confessed,then no,you don't deserve to die for another persons crime and I hope whoever said that never has to go through the agony of being sentenced to die or a family member and they are innocent.Shame on you.Remember Karma is a biiiitchThe argument I would have for the death penalty would always be if you or your family has been a victim of a violent crime then you would feel differently than just an outsider against the death penalty.My cousin was murdered last year and the guy confessed and plead guilty and still managed to get 40 years-he's only 19.I say,if you confess,plead guilty, and it's eligible than yes,you should recieve it.Just my 2 cents.
words of people who know victims of violent crimes.
he was such a good kid,, always quiet and kept to himself.

I need some major help!?
I'm 17 years old and I just had a baby 5 days ago. My grandpa lives w/ us %26 so does my sis (she's 4). My mom lied to the both of them and didnt tell them it was my baby, she said the bby was 1 month old and she adopted the bby from her friend. so basically since she lied shes telling me not to show any attachment towards the bby and to not act like the babys mom in ANY way. so whenever my sis or gpa are home she doesnt let me care for the bby or hold my baby. she also said that when i get my checks from welfare that she'll be taking $100 or more from them, could she do all this to me?!
i need help, i live in california and i dont know what the laws are here for teen moms. please help me find a way out or give me any website or hotlines that can help.
would going to the police be a good idea? and what do i tell them?
Answers:
She cannot do this to you.
I have alot of ideas for this, but I do not want to lead you in the wrong direction as I cannot say for certain on alot of details.
I would contact the welfare for help or http://www.familypact.org/
Health department would be your best bet if these get you nowhere.
Your situation is very unfortunate. I wish you the best.
No, she cannot legally do this. Announce to your household that the baby is yours, and tell your mother you are going to care for this child, or you will get a restraining order.
Did your family not notice your belly when you were pregnant?
I would go to the police and tell them the truth.
I'm not from Cali so I dont know of any help in that area! I feel so sorry for you! I hope that everything turns out ok! Good luck!
tell your grandpa and sis that the baby isyours! they will understand! dont let your mom take your money and your baby! goodluck!
Call your local woman's shelter or social service agency.
You are saying you want to keep the baby as your own and live somewhere else? Local family agency should be able to help.
Good luck, dear.
Okay, first of all, your gramps never noticed you were pregnant?
NO, she can not do that to you, that baby is legally yours, even if you are only 17. It is YOUR child, and she can NOT legally make it hers without YOU signing papers saying your letting her adopt it.
I think you need to go to the welfare office, tell you case worker she is taking you money, and what she is saying about the baby. Your case worker can help you.
Go to the police. You have a right to parent your child. You have a complicated legal problem and do not want to screw up your rights to custody. You may also contact a family law attorney, most will likely not charge you for an initial consultation.
NO your Mom has no right to your money or your baby! Call around and find a women's shelter you can stay at til you find something better! Go to a relatives house, just get out of there! You don't have to do what she says, it's your baby! What's she going to do if you hold it while your Grandpa is home? You need to tell your Grandpa and your sister the truth! Then what's she going to do?? I think your Mom is crazy!!
You are the child's mother. And yes, get attached and show attachment. You can damage a child forever with attachment disorders and other issues! Bond with your child, and if you have to, go to a shelter to get her out of your hair. Also call DSS and see what services they can offer as it sounds like she wants to be the mother!
Document everything in writing everyday! That will be your best defense someday.
The police are not going to be much help, but their are others that can!
You are the mother end of story. You don't need to pretend to be anything other then what you are. I guess she doesn't want them to know that your the mother because your young. But don't let her do this to you. You are now responsible for your child not your mother. She has no rights to your child since you gave her none. And you surely don't need to give her any money. If you need to then go to the police or take your baby and go elsewhere if she doesn't allow you to be a mother to your child. Go to welfare where your recieving checks. They can get you some housing help if it comes to that. If your mom is acting out of line you can also call the cops. Maybe get an order on her. She shouldn't be doing this to you it isn't her child and your practically an adult. Tell your grandpa to help by telling him your situation if you can't confide in your own family... Talk to another adult. Maybe someone from your school. A parent of your friends. The law... Welfare... Anyone who will listen.
Your mom is sick. Not to mention that she's blackmailing you and extorting money from you!
GO TO THE POLICE. NOW.
look i'm a cop in georgia and no she can't do that you can call the police or just tell her to back off and tell your grandfather and sister yourself. But I would call the police there are all types of programs out there for single teen moms. so just let them know. AND IT IS VERY MUCH AGINST THE LAW FOR HER TO TAKE YOU WALFARE CHECK. SO LET THE POLICE TAKE CARE OF IT.
Find a Planned Parenthood near you. If you can go in and visit, do that. If not, find a safe time to call them.
That is a very unfortunate situation and it is not fair to you or your child or any of your family to keep a secret like that. It sounds like your mom is ashamed that you had a child so early. For a peaceful resolution, I think the both of you should talk to a counselor or mediator so that she sees it's nothing to be ashamed of, that mistakes happen and that it would be more shameful to hide the truth from your child and family.
Anyway, find a planned parenthood. They will talk to you for free and will know who you can go to for professional help with the situation. I think this will be more peaceful than calling the police first.
Good luck. Don't ever let someone keep you from loving your baby.
I think you should tell your grandpa so he knows anyway{unless that'll cause problems}. I don't think it needs to be kept a secret. Lying is wrong. I think if you're 20-? when you tell your baby, it might cause problems. She could think you don't love her and that's why you never took care of her. If all else fails, just talk to your mom.
You may need a social worker. And there are homes for teen moms. It would a tough start but you can do it. If you are serious about being mom it is time to start fighting for your baby. If you can't you are not ready to be the baby's mother and you may want to talk to a social worker about placing the baby up for adoption. I know that sounds harsh. Start in your phone book and look for help.
You have to stand up to her, for your own and your baby's sake.
Just tell her that you shall tell everybody the truth, and to stop her silly lies, and then get on with it.

I need some legal advice relating to Work injuries?
A friend of mine was working a while back for a home health care company. While on the job doing the basic tasks assigned by her employer she tore her miniscus in her knee. This resulted in over a month of doctors visits resulting in a serious surgery finally the end result which she is now unable to work and at home in a leg brace. She contacted the job the day after she first went to the hospital because of it. They have been blowing her off since. I am curious, even though it's a month later and she had changed jobs, because she was hurt on the job there and they did NOTHING for her. Can she file a law suit or something with them to get some help? And to hopefully even stop this kind of stuff from happening to someone else??
Answers:
Yes, she can file a lawsuit and this company can also get into trouble for not reporting this incident. My advise is to get a worker's comp attorney. They usually work on contingency so there's nothing up front - they get a certain percentage IF they win.
here's a good place to start for education and to help you find an attorney:
http://www.workerscompensation.com/worke...
This would be a worker's compensation case. Get an attorney quickly, make sure their fees are based on your compensation, and that they are fair in comparison to other attorney's fees. Talk to more than one attorney, and get their fee information. They usually take a percentage of whatever your compensation is, and they should take your case free initially, then they get paid on condition of winning in court/settlement.
In the USA you can sue for virtually anything. Remember the little old lady that sued for Mickey D's coffee being to hot after she spilled it on herself? She even freakin' won!
In this instance you should a little research on the US department of labor website or call them 1-866-4-USA-DOL
Also, depending on which state it happened in any complaint or reimbursement process must go through that states department of labor and possibly it's courts.
And this person retained another job shortly after... it may complicate things...
Finally for legal purposes, I must state that this is just informational and connot and should not be construed as legal advise.

I need some info on common law, how can i get it done?
Answers:
I would recommend going to a local law library (and local law school will have one) and using some of the treatises on law. Treatises give the generally accepted rules for the various issues in law and the notable exceptions to those rules. Additionally, they will list important cases from the Supreme Court, the Circuits, and sometimes even by state. It's always a good starting point.
That or you could hire an attorney.
Do a search on the Internet with the name of the state and + "common law".
Not the same in all states, some don't recognize it (Calif. for instance does not).
google this phrase: "common law of England"
I'm assuming you are talking about common law marriage because common law is a legal system in which judges have the authority and duty to decide what the law is when there is no other authoritative statement of the law.
As far as common law marriage it varies from state to state on the length of time you need to be living together and some states do not even recognize common law marriage.
Frederick William Maitland wrote some excellent treatises on English common law. They include:
Forms of Action at Common Law (available used for less than $10)
History of English Law
Domesday Book and Beyond
History of English Law before Edward I
English Law and the Renaissance
I need some good reason why kids do NOT NEED CURFEWS i dont want to hear why them need them?
Answers:
i will take this on why the government should not impose curfews. It is not the governments place to impose restrictive burdens on people for no reason. People have a fundamental, very strongly protected, right to travel which includes walking.
Some peoples hobbies are necessary to have to do at night, such as looking at certain animals that only come out at night or by looking at the stars.
There are laws in place for disruptive behavior already such as public disturbance or disorderly conduct laws that would be available if the minor was misbehaving. Minors work and pay taxes like everybody else why should they be restricted to use the public resources any less. Minors greatly contribute to the economy as they often have a great amount of disposable income so they go to the movies or the ice cream parlor late.
Many of the same people that say we need curfews would also say that it is ok for a 17 year old to consent to sex. i ask them why people beleive they can make this decision but not the decison of when to go home.
Kids need curfews. So sorry.
There really isn't a good reason why kids don't need curfews, because they do.
there are no good reasons why kids should be out late alone. sorry.
So they can do drugs all night.. and drink and drive.
---Are you a kid that has to have a curfew? Cuz all kids need a curfew..
Sorry, you'll just have to grow up first. then you'll understand.
All kids need curfews and most even tho they don't realize it want them!
They dont need them because they are old enough to take care of themselves. (I lie).
Honestly.... THEY DO NEED CURFEWS.. With all the crap that is going on these days. Unless they are on the front stoop /porch or in the front yard. that would be as far as I would feel comfortable letting them stray. What age range are you taklking about, that plays into the factoring as well....
Because you want them to fail, because you want them to get arrested, because you feel that responsibility is the governments job?
there are no good reasons to not have curfews,because they DO need curfews! Are you thick skulled or something, you can't get it?
giving them a restriction makes them feel the need to rebel against it. whereas if there is no curfew they will soon feel guilty about abusing their right to stay up all night
it depends on the kid and the parent. if the kid is barely 16 or barely 18, then maybe the rules can be bended as long as they obey EVERY single rule that the parents place on them. if you come home, four hours late, then i wouldn't let you out of the house again. the thing about curfews is to teach "kids" rules and regulations.you have to be of the right maturity, age and be able to handle the amount of responsibility. in the end, its up to your parents to decide.
Ok there are several but ill name a couple. Most kids have school in the morning, there are rapist and killers out there that can snatch ur children, vulnerable after dark ect. Mostly a safety issue. And one more thing THEY ARE KIDS. They have no business out late at night.
I assume you meant curfews that are laws. There no need for the government to decide how late a kid can stay out, that's the parent's decision. If I have a good kid then he should be able to stay out as long as I let him, not as long as Uncle Sam let's him. This is just another case of Big Brother not letting parents make their own decisions on how to raise their kids.
So they can get in trouble more easily?
So that they can become sleep-deprived?
So that their parents can lose sleep worrying about them?
So that they can ruin their health?
So that they can become acquainted with the police and the court system?
One argument for teens at least is many curfews say kids should be inside before 9PM. When I was 16 I got off of work at 10 and during hockey season my games ended after nine and a couple went close until midnight. Second argument especialy for small towns is, is it worth wasting police resources to arrest and detain children who many have been out late. Also you can make an arguement for how it really helps prevent crime considering crimes commited after 9pm are mostly commited by adults towards adults and not children.
Can't think of any reason why no curfews is the right thing. I only know that having curfews keeps crime rates down, and stupidity at a minimum.
1. Because they are in bed sleeping.
2. Because they are doing their homework.
3. Because they are taking a bath.
4. Because they are at work.
5. Because they are helping to clean the house.
6. Because they are playing with sister and brother.
7. Because they are writing Grandma a thank you note for the birthday gift.
8. Because they are helping Mom fold clothes.
9. Because they are doing dishes.
10. Because they are sitting with the family watching Lassie.
There is ten good reasons why kids don't need a curfew. Because they are too busy doing what they should be doing, being a member of a family.
An interesting question that gets at safety vs. freedom, as well as other, more selfish principles...
I'm not sure how I feel about the issue, though I do question those who immediately say they need curfews. Most kids don't really understand the real consequences of some things they do. For example, staying up/out all night might lead you to do poorly on exams, thus you are less likely to get into a good college or develop good habits for studying/homework/etc, thus there is a chance you will not get a very good job. Kids might be able to see how they could do poorly on exams, but they only have vague ideas about the working world and how bad it can be for them. They do not have enough understanding to make good choices, therefore choice is taken away.
However, if this is about law enforcement, I would definitely question it. They might say it's about safety, which does make sense but is ridiculous once people reach a certain age because even adults can be harmed easily. They might say it's to prevent crime like drug-dealing and so on, but that sounds rather Minority Report-ish.
I guess I haven't thought about this one too much, and, since I don't intend to be a police officer or have a child, I don't have to be worried about it. As a kid, I was well-behaved and knew the consequences of my actions well enough... but I was quite obviously an exception among my peers. People like to say, "Just wait until you're older, then you'll be able to do whatever you want," but this isn't satisfying at the moment.
You might be able to pick some reasons out of that mess, but I personally don't have a stance yet.
there are no good reasons. sorry. kids need curfews. in fact curfews for under 16 need to be changed to 8pm and 16-18 can stay at 10 pm
I need some criminal law advice?
ok well first off i kno stealing is bad and im stupid and all that. w/e only answer this if u kno wat ur talkin about. pleasr no stupid answers.
ok anyway i have shoplifted some candy from rite-aid. they stopped me told me to be compltely honest with them and give them their candy back so i did. they did NOT call the cops. however they were going to fine me kuz of the theft. now the minimum was $100 the maximum was $250. they charged me the maximum whitch i thought was unfair and a bunch of ****. how can i lower this? anyway to avoid it? please i need some help. my parents have severe money problems. im 15. thank u.
Answers:
This is called "Civil Recovery" and you can find it in your state laws. How to reduce it? You can't unless Rite-aid allows.
If you don't pay it, then they will sue your parents as your guardians and tack on court costs and legal fees so that your $250 is now about $750.
Buy boxes of candy and sell them outside the stores , so you can pay the money and not your family.
Pay it.
You're getting a deal here. You don't have to go to court, you don't have to spend any time locked up, your friends don't have to read your name in the papers.
If you don't pay it, they will call the police and have you charged.

I need serious help with a legal matter!! PLEASE?
What is the best procedure when you suspect that a family member was abused while in custody of law enforcement officers.. My cousin had some problems and was taken into custody by force... they put him in restraints and my aunt was told that they strapped him to the chair on one day and didnt allow him water, food, or bathroom privleges for three days... not taking off the restraints at all. I need to know what my aunt's next step should be because she doesnt know what to do and its making me have no respect for law enforcement around here...
Answers:
i would hire an attorney and tell that person what is going and what has gone on from start to the present time. DO NOT hold back. The more you tell you attorney the better. And then I would sue the PD for police brutality, cruel and unusal punishment, negligence,and what ever less you attorney has in mind! good luck
Serious legal help and you come on here. Good move.
First you should your local ACLU chapter and talk to them about the issue. The next step is usually filling a complaint with the police who will then start an internal review. but you will need more to go on then someone telling your aunt.
you need to go to a doctor's office right away or perhaps a hospital emergency room would be more appropriate.
also if he were deprived of food and water for three days, he should be very very very sick and will need medical attention.
but in an emergency room, if they see certain kinds of injuries, the authorities will automatically be contacted and if it's police, then their internal affairs office will be contacted.
don't wait though, not even a day...
Where is "around here?"

File a complaint with the police department as well - if it is a big city - this is a goodfirst step, otherwise go find a good criminal defense attorney.
Amazing story if it's true. What would be more interesting is to find out that IF it happened, why. Could it be because he was kicking, fighting, biting and doing all he could to hurt the officers? Some prisoners have to be restrained until they calm down, then they are put in a cell IF they can be good. I doubt very much he was not given water or bathroom priviledges at all in three days unless he was in another country.
Remember there are always two sides to every story so don't believe everything someone tells you until you can prove what they say. Without that proof, consider it made up and a sympathy/pity tactic.
I am amazed at how many parents know their child is a troublemaker and are always having problems with them and then when the kid is arrested, that child suddenly becomes an angel and would never do anything wrong.
Think back on the family history and be completely honest about things you've seen in the past and make a judgment call. And remember, even if there is a bad officer or two out there, there are hundreds that are good, law-abiding officers so don't judge all of them by one or two.
do you believe everything you hear?prove it then you can do something otherwise my dear it is just mumbo jumbo hearsay!
You can contact the department for community based services in you community. Sorta like the Child Welfare department for adults with mental health issues. By the way it is way against the law, abuse and neglect, so you may want to go to a higher police authority like the state police and hire a good lawyer.
Answers:
i would hire an attorney and tell that person what is going and what has gone on from start to the present time. DO NOT hold back. The more you tell you attorney the better. And then I would sue the PD for police brutality, cruel and unusal punishment, negligence,and what ever less you attorney has in mind! good luck
Serious legal help and you come on here. Good move.
First you should your local ACLU chapter and talk to them about the issue. The next step is usually filling a complaint with the police who will then start an internal review. but you will need more to go on then someone telling your aunt.
you need to go to a doctor's office right away or perhaps a hospital emergency room would be more appropriate.
also if he were deprived of food and water for three days, he should be very very very sick and will need medical attention.
but in an emergency room, if they see certain kinds of injuries, the authorities will automatically be contacted and if it's police, then their internal affairs office will be contacted.
don't wait though, not even a day...
Where is "around here?"

What is wrong with just sticking to civil unions. That gives you the same tax breaks. Marriage is religious in nature, and as this nation was established in Christianity, homosexuality is wrong for marriage.
A large group of opposers cite religious reasons and/or biblical text. There are, however, contradictory passages that are sometimes ignored. Either a person believes the Bible is the Word of God, and therefore is a divine proclamation from God himself, or it is a collections of stories to be used as a general guide, open to interpretation and revision, but not to be followed word-for word. Can't have it both ways -- that it is the Word of God when it supports their beliefs and just a guidebook when it does not.
Many churches will also differentiate between the Old
Testament and the New Testament, as if we switched
Gods at halftime, and the "New" God is more correct
than the "Old" God. But, again, they go ahead and
preach about the "One" God in the next breath.
Finally, some churches argue that the mortals who
wrote the books of the Bible were inspired by the hand
of God. Who chose which of those writers had actually
been inspired and which were just infidels who wrote a
fictional story (i.e. the recent Gospel according to
Judah, that has already been discredited by most
churches, as well as countless other known "gospels"
that do not appear in the modern Bible)?
With those things in mind, please explain the
infallability of the Bible's anti-homosexual stance in
the light of the questions posted below. While
many of the "questions" are obviously written in jest,
I cannot get someone to argue against same-sex
marriage and for any of the proscribed ideas at the
same time. If the two can be reconciled, I am willing
to proclaim defeat.
Why is there no outrage over a 2nd marriage as it is
defined by Jesus as adultery, and therefore a sin
(Matthew 19:9) (same book that contains the oft-cited
verses (4-5) to put down the outlandish notion of
same-sex marriage)
Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both
male and female, provided they are purchased from
neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this
applies to Mexicans, but not to Canadians. Can you
clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?
I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as
sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what
do you think would be a fair price for her?
I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while
she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness (Lev.
15:19-24). The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried
asking, but most women take offense.
When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know
it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord (Lev. 1:9).
The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is
not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
I have a neighbor who insists on working on the
Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states that he should be
put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him
myself, or should I ask the police to do it?
A friend of mine feels that, even though eating
shellfish is an abomination (Lev. 11:10), it is a
lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree.
Can you settle this? Are there "degrees" of
abomination?
Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of
God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit
that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be
20/20, or is there some wiggle-room here?
Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed,
including the hair around their temples, even though
this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should
they die?
I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a
dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play
football if I wear gloves?
My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19 by
planting two different crops in the same field, as
does his wife by wearing garments made of two
different kinds of thread(cotton/polyester blend). He
also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really
necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the
whole town together to stone them (Lev. 24:10-16)?
Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private
family affair, like we do with people who sleep with
their in-laws (Lev. 20:14)?

I need my lawyer to perform but he is slack how can i boost his performance?
I know my court date but my lawyer is so slack that he is still waiting to tell me my court date. all he needs to do is call the courthouse like I did to find out, but acts like he's waiting on some letter from the court verifying court date. I dont know whats up but I am very pissed. he has been a great help in the past but its like he has run out of gas all of the sudden right in the middle of my case .what to do?
Answers:
He probably has other cases and he maybe in trial. Call him and talk to his assistant
Dangle a $1000 bill in front of his face.
That should do the trick.
Or get a new lawyer.
Or tell him how you feel. Maybe he is going through some personal problems?
well, if possible i would call his office and advise that you would like copies of all your correspondence etc. as you are going to a new lawyer. chances are, he'll want to know why and will pick up his act at fear of losing a client. it tends to happen this way with so many things - you know, you buy a product and the sales people are so helpful and call you and blah blah and once you have passed over money - the service is all gone! maybe seriously find a new lawyer!
I went through this mess and did a better job myself. The term you want to use with him is "failure to perform" "inadequate legal defense", and "inadequate time to prepare due to malpractice or malfeasance" That will accomplish one of two things. Light a fire under his or her behind or get you fired as a client. You can also go to most court wensites and find out your court date there. All you need is a case number or defendant name etc. Good luck and behave!
if hes done a great job for you what makes you think he wont finish strong give him a break hes working for more than just you . have faith in your lawyer until he really gives you a reason not to trust him.
Send more money... U know how lawyers are.It's always amazed me that they are "officers of the court" and some of them are the ugliest things on two legs.
Maybe you should ask him how to contact the state bar association to complain about the performance of a lawyer. Lawyers really have you over a barrel, cause they are allowed in the game you aren't. Let him know that you contacted the court and found information he should have given you. Be as honest as possible, including letting him know you think he is a slacker, he probably won't like it but what can he do about it. Well, he can throw the case, just as a fighter can throw a boxing match he is your key to winning, so whata ya gonna do?
Feed him "New Improved Lawyer Chow", and have him wash it down with "Jury Juice" (just like Jesus Juice but you don't get groped by Michael Jackson afterward).

I need legal help please i dont even know where to start anyone who is familar with idaho's laws?
my son was born in washington but im moving to idaho what are the paternity laws their for example do they belive the childs best place is to be with his mother? and if im 17 and have a job and am working my hardest for my son but the dad is over the age of 18 and has a higher paying job will they rather my son live with his father im so scared i never told my sons bilogical father it was his baby because he abused me and would abuse my son he is also an alcoholhic i wanted to hide my son i know it sounds wrong but it was for the best now he wants to take my 2 month old son for me what can i do what options do i have the police will never realize hes abusive he hides it and the fact that he does drugs. what options do i have to keep him from him i need help please i need to know idahos laws
Answers:
It may be best if you talk to a lawyer or if you can't afford it, try Legal Aid. Unless a lawyer just happens to come to this category who knows Idaho lawyer, no one else can help you here. If you are 17 with a god job why are you moving anyway? If our child's father is abusive you can always turn to your local family court and obtain a restraining order against the father.I hope you have parents also who can help you.,
If you have full custody now you can move wherever you like without telling him or anyone else if there's no court order in place to force you to disclose his location.
Once you're living somewhere there's no way to stop a biological father from filing custody requests, no matter what state you're in. He'll have to file where you are once you establish residency. As soon as you get settled? Find a good family court lawyer and retain him or her, and let them know everything that's going on so you have some help ready.
Each family court, (where your case would be heard), takes into consideration both sides of the story, and REALLY pays attention to the documentation you present. Family court judges have heard it all, (and only believe a small portion of it,) from warring parents over custody.
Your best bet is to begin documenting his activities by calling the police when he does any illegal activity, and that damn sure includes abusing you!!
Grow a spine for your son, you have to be strong and be his defender. Drop a 911 call on this loser every time he starts anything, and he won't have a chance to get custody, no matter how much money he's making.
Good luck, hon, stay strong, ask yourself What would Xena do? :)
I would check with both states, since this is an inter-state problem... I'd also check and make sure that YOU have legal custody of the child, since you're underage yourself!

I need legal advice.. Can anyone help?
Last night my brother and I were walking through a general store/grocery store in Dallas. As we were walking down the produce section there were apple peels on the floor. He slipped and shattered his knee cap into 3 large pieces and a bunch of tiny pieces. He was in extreme pain for hours and hours. Should I contact a lawyer now or wait until all the medical bills have come in? How much is usually awarded in a case like this where the store showed a lot of negligence?
Answers:
First of all, YOU can't contact an attorney. You are not a party to the injury. Your brother needs to contact an attorney.
Also, I would suggest you not spend any money yet. The first thing the attorney will do is view the security camera in the store and any records of the incident.
Just because there were apple peels (or even banana peels or water) standing on the floor does not necessarily assign liability to the store. At best, your brother has an assumption of liability also because he did not take ordinary care in where he walked or to know the environment in which he was walking.
So, as I said, your brother needs to contact a personal injury attorney and not spend any money yet.
get a lawyer now. get the ball rolling now if your going to sue the store.
It would be best to contact your lawyer right away.
You should get intouch with a lawyer as soon as possible
Definetly contact a lawyer now and don't talk to anyone but him/her. NOBODY!
Apple peels? That is very strange... regardless, an attorney will probably sign your brother up immediately. If it is documented that he has broken his knee cap then it should be fairly easy to get a good offer. In most cases, you will have to have a doctor give his written opinion, after your brother has completed treatment, as to how impaired he may be due to the stores negligence. It is called an impairment rating. Hopefully, he will recover soon. Keep copies of everything. Even if it is just a receipt for aspirin.
NOW...call a personal injury lawyer NOW. And how much depends on the injury, costs of medical treatment, time lost at work plus punitive damages. Count on the attorney taking around 1/3 of the final settlement.

I need legal advice concerning harassment, child support and visitation...please help?
My ex husband is verbally abusive and likes making threats. Here is the situation: He has legal custody of our two kids for the summers, weekends and holidays. But I am the primary custodian. He only gets them for the summers which is not my problem. I don't deny him any custody rights. But because he does not get them for the holidays and weekends.he tries to make it my problem and insists that I allow the kids to stay with him during the school year as well as the summers. I have disagreed with this and he became verbally abusive through e-mails, trying to belittle me with insults and intimidate me. He manipulates the kids by trying to cohearce them into staying with him. I told him that if he didn't bring them back home to me when the summer was over, I would bring him up on charges. He then stated that I could not do that. His child support payments are sporadic because he can't hold a job. Please help.
Answers:
First of all, if he has JOINT custody, you have no grounds to file "charges" of any kind. This is a civil matter.
Therefore, if he does not return the children when the order stipulates, you will need to file a Motion to show cause for Contempt.
As I said, this is a civil, not criminal matter until the court so decides. As for the child support, it is an unrelated issue. You also need to file a separate Motion to show Cause for contempt for the back support, have it reduced to a judgement and after the statutory waiting period in which he can remedy, file for a lien against his property.
Depending on in what state you live, the judgement is good for from 5 to 10 years, renewable (depending on the state) for the same period, and interest is charged at a rate of 5 to 10 % (depending on the state)
EDITED BASED ON NEW INFORMATION:
First, if transportation is addressed in the visitation order, then it must be followed. If you are to pay for the plane tickets or pick the children up then that's what you do.
If he is to transport the children, then he will be in contempt if he does not.
Now, if he does NOT return the children, there are two options you can avail yourself of:
1. File a motion to show cause for contempt of the visitation order. Once the court issues the order, you can file it with the local jurisdiction in Colorado and it then becomes a criminal matter whereby the police can retrieve the children.
2. File parental kidnapping charges against him. Contact your local district Attorney to discuss the issue.
Now for what I would advise you if you were sitting in my office.
Go to wal-mart or other cheap store and purchase an answering machine. Call him recording the call on the machine. Play innocent and ask when you can expect the children to be returned. If he admits or threatens not to return the children take the tape with you once you file a motion to show contempt and file an attendent motion to modify the visitation order.
Your grounds will be the safety of the children and a substantial change in circumstances with the following language:
Plaintiff prays the court issue judgement in favor of plaintiff and to order a modification of the current custody order and award Sole Legal Custody to the Plaintiff;
Plaintiff further prays the court to order supervised visitation to defendent until such time as defendent is found to not be a threat to the subject children or the Plaintiff's rights under the current order.
Both states, colorado and Mississippi allow a party to any conversation to record that conversation. Therefore, start recording all conversations with this man.
Miss. Code Ann. 搂搂 41-29-501 to -537: It is generally a violation of Mississippi law to intercept and acquire the contents of wire, oral or other communications with a mechanical or electronic device. The law against interception of communications applies neither to a "subscriber" to a telephone who "intercepts a communication on a telephone to which he subscribes," nor to members of the subscriber's household. Miss. Code Ann. 搂 41-29-535, Wright v. Stanley, 700 So.2d 274 (Miss. 1997) (state law prohibition on wiretapping did not apply to former wife who intercepted communications on her own telephone).
Violations can be punished as misdemeanors carrying the potential for imprisonment for up to one year and fines of up to $10,000. Miss. Code Ann. 搂 41-29-533. It is a felony, however, for anyone who is not a law-enforcement officer to disclose the contents of intercepted communications for any reason other than testifying under oath in a governmental or court proceeding, and the penalty for such disclosure can be up to five years imprisonment and up to $10,000 in fines. Miss. Code Ann. 搂搂 41-29-511, 529. Civil liability for an unlawful interception is expressly authorized for actual damages, $100 a day for each day of violation or $1,000 鈥?whichever is greater 鈥?along with punitive damages, attorney fees and litigation costs. Miss. Code Ann. 搂 41-29-529.

You can ask the judge to look at your case again and give good reason your children should not be going with him. File a restraining order to keep him away from you. You have just cause to take these steps. Yes, you can do that!
Save ALL the emails and print them out. Show them to your attorney. He/She will not the course of action to be taken. Good luck
In most jurisdictions payment or non-payment of child support does not affect visitation. Why does he not have kids on weekends and holidays? It that his choice? Does he live too far away for those visitations? In most jurisdictions, the fact he does not exercise his visitation rights on weekends and holidays does not negate his right to summer visitation.
Keep records of all Email and phone conversations. Keep a log. When and what time a call was received/made? Immediately summarize what was said and the tone of the conversation. In some jurisdictions you can record a phone conversation if only one party is aware of it. To be safe, when he calls tell him you are recording the conversation. Most answering machines will allow you to do this.
Arrange to have another adult (preferably not a family member) present when he picks up and returns the kids. This is for your protection and that of your children.
Inform your attorney, your state's attorney general or local district attorney that you believe he plans are not to return the kids after the summer.
May you and your children be safe.
id go back and tell the judge that the children shouldnt be with him because he cant hold a job and provide for them tell them all the threats and show them the emails...get a good lawyer...thats what i did and now my ex has no custody
Why are you keeping your children from their father.
Answers:
First of all, if he has JOINT custody, you have no grounds to file "charges" of any kind. This is a civil matter.
Therefore, if he does not return the children when the order stipulates, you will need to file a Motion to show cause for Contempt.
As I said, this is a civil, not criminal matter until the court so decides. As for the child support, it is an unrelated issue. You also need to file a separate Motion to show Cause for contempt for the back support, have it reduced to a judgement and after the statutory waiting period in which he can remedy, file for a lien against his property.
Depending on in what state you live, the judgement is good for from 5 to 10 years, renewable (depending on the state) for the same period, and interest is charged at a rate of 5 to 10 % (depending on the state)
EDITED BASED ON NEW INFORMATION:
First, if transportation is addressed in the visitation order, then it must be followed. If you are to pay for the plane tickets or pick the children up then that's what you do.
If he is to transport the children, then he will be in contempt if he does not.
Now, if he does NOT return the children, there are two options you can avail yourself of:
1. File a motion to show cause for contempt of the visitation order. Once the court issues the order, you can file it with the local jurisdiction in Colorado and it then becomes a criminal matter whereby the police can retrieve the children.
2. File parental kidnapping charges against him. Contact your local district Attorney to discuss the issue.
Now for what I would advise you if you were sitting in my office.
Go to wal-mart or other cheap store and purchase an answering machine. Call him recording the call on the machine. Play innocent and ask when you can expect the children to be returned. If he admits or threatens not to return the children take the tape with you once you file a motion to show contempt and file an attendent motion to modify the visitation order.
Your grounds will be the safety of the children and a substantial change in circumstances with the following language:
Plaintiff prays the court issue judgement in favor of plaintiff and to order a modification of the current custody order and award Sole Legal Custody to the Plaintiff;
Plaintiff further prays the court to order supervised visitation to defendent until such time as defendent is found to not be a threat to the subject children or the Plaintiff's rights under the current order.
Both states, colorado and Mississippi allow a party to any conversation to record that conversation. Therefore, start recording all conversations with this man.

I need legal advice about a car loan HELP!!?
Here's the situation... My ex boyfriend put a car loan in his name 17 months ago because we got a lower interest rate. We broke up 6 months ago, we had a verbal agreement to keep it in his name while I make the payments. (Which wasn't the best idea in my part.) He got jealous because I had moved on and said he wants the car back now.
I have paid $3,500 into the car. Will I see any of this if we go to court about it? I have proof that I paid all of it.
Answers:
You should contact an attorney and you do have some great advice. Keep all the documentation!
If you have paid by credit card, checks or money orders directly to the dealership, you may have a better chance of getting your money back. If you only have a paper trail to show that you paid your boyfriend, it will be more difficult to get your money back without a written and signed contract between both of you.
Again, contact an attorney! They will be able to let you know what avenues will be best for you to take.
If you have the proof, than yes, you should get it all back. But a verbal agreement isn't the smartest idea. He might say he was only charging you rent. Contact an attorney asap
It's in his name...why did you pay him? I don't think you have a case.sorry
So you're saying the car title is in his name. Fine. Then he owns the car and can take it anytime he wishes.
The money you have paid absent a provable contract between the parties, will be considered rental for the auto that you have used that he owns.
All he has to do is take the title of the car to a repossession firm and they can recover it or he can call the police to accompany him in retrieving his property.
You have no ownership interest in the car by your own admission and you have no proof that you ever did. Also, absent a written contract you have no claim.
By the way, I am an attorney. I suggest you consult your own in this matter as you will get all kinds of ridiculous answers NOT based on property law.
Here's my opinion. The car legally belongs to him. You have paid $3500.00 dollars into the car but you also used the car. Cars are not investments. I believe that you will have to give the car back and might I SAY MIGHT get SOME money back but i doubt all of it. Good Luck!
sue him, while you may have a verbal contract which he will deny , the fact that you have been the sole person making the payments, can be used to demonstrate their was some type of agreement in fact

I need information on background checks & what they look in to!?
In a background check, do misdemeanors, infractions and court probations show up? Please let me know ASAP! Thank you!
Answers:
Any and all curt records show up on a law enforncement (NCIC) background check.
In a background check yes pretty much anything you did to disturb the law it will be on there/also if you are married/who your immediate family members are (just their names). I am not sure about court probation's dates but if you are on probation then I am sure that will show up too. If you are asking because you want to look up someone else it does cost money to do it and may even take a while also according to what you want to know the price goes up or down. Also I think you can even get someones SS# too..which I think is stupid but people will do anything for money.
When someone runs your background EVERYTHING shows up!! Misdemeanors, felonys, fines, probation, time given to serve, actual time served, etc. Even if you plead NOLO Contendre it shows up. The background checks typically go back until age 18 unless a 5 yr or 7 yr specifically is requested.
Actually, it depends on the agency or company doing the check. If it's for employment, then the misdemeanors do not show up.
If you're talking about a NSA background check your 1st grade teacher will get a visit.
When I contracted with the NSA to help establish legal guidelines for disciplinary rules at several listening post s throughout the world, I was point blanked asked if I had ever done drugs.
What to see a picture of the interviewer when I said "OF COURSE I HAVE".
Then there is the White House / Attorney General's vetting procedures which will have your entire history, including that of your parents and everyone you've come in contact with for the last 25 to 40 years.
And if you think I'm kidding, I have two storage units of files I still haven't gone through from 6 different vetting / background investigations done on me in the last 35 years.
It depends on who is doing the background check and how extensive they want it to be. If it's for a government clearance...it's VERY extensive!
Yes, Misdomeanors will show up, as well as probation. Depending on the state, anytime you go to court for something criminal it will show up on the court records if they are checking those jurisdictions.

Are you asking about arbitration? If so, your union will handle this for you including giving you legal representation. Since I don't know what you mean by "after i have already filed charges", I can't address that portion of your question.

I need help!?
I'm 16 years old and I just had a baby a couple of days ago. My grandpa lives w/ us %26 so does my sis (she's 4). My mom lied to the both of them and didnt tell them it was my baby, she said the bby was 1 month old and she adopted the bby from her friend. so basically since she lied shes telling me not to show any attachment towards the bby and to not act like the babys mom in ANY way. so whenever my sis or gpa are home she doesnt let me care for the bby or hold my baby. she also said that when i get my checks from welfare that she'll be taking $100 or more from them, could she do all this to me?!
i need help, i live in california and i dont know what the laws are here for teen moms. please help me find a way out or give me any website or hotlines that can help.
would going to the police be a good idea? and what do i tell them?
Answers:
The $ first off is not yours it is for the baby and unless your going to step up and support YOUR baby by working then you need to respect your mothers wishes. BY law it is your baby unless you sign him/her away.
Go to your local Catholic Social Services, explain the situation, and ask them what you should do to ensure custody, and proper care for your child.
I really hope this is good advise...
There must be a place in your area called Family Services. You can go there and I believe it is strictly confidential. The Cali law is that you are a minor until the age of 18.
Do you have a friend or relative where you can go and live with your child? Freely?
Man, I really wish I could help you. But there must be lawyers that protect the rights of minors. Get on the Internet and explore, do research. Because I believe it is absolutely imperative that you be your child's caregiver and parent and that you should NEVER be forced to hand that power over to anyone against your will!
I really wish you the best. I think you are a very couragous girl for having your child in the first place. Most teens would have taken other steps. Be strong and stand your ground. Just because you are a minor, doesn't mean you haven't any ground on which to stand.

I need help with this legal issue for a debate I am conducting?
I have heard numerous amounts of time that it is legal for a minor and an adult to date (such as 16 year old minor, 20 year old adult) and have a relationship as long as there is no sexual contact such as oral, anal, or vaginal which is perfectly understandable because there are many ways to show affection, not just with sex. Therefore, as long as the couple sticks to only holding hands and kissing and cuddling until the minor is of legal age, they have nothing to worry about legality-wise, especially if the minors parents strongly approve of the relationship, correct? Now, I know a lot of people are going to be outraged at this question and give me incorrect answers, so I am asking that only people who actually know what they're talking about answer this question because I am not about to get a bad grade on my debate because someone doesn't like that kids grow up and move on and have relationships normally with more experienced, smarter older people that can take care of them.
Answers:
Every state is differend in their age of consent laws. Give me a state and I will give you a link to their specific statutes.
In most states the age of consent is 16 but some are as low as 14.
I think every state is different on this issue. I lived in North Carolina and New York. I will tell you in North Carolina I knew of a 15 year old girl and a 23 year old man who were dating. No one really questioned it...even when he got her pregnant. In New York I knew of a 14 year old girl and a 19 year old boy who were dating and again, he got her pregnant. He spent time in prison for statutory rape. I do know that in North Carolina the parents were not happy with their 15 year old daughter's decision, but legally it didn't seem to make a difference. On a personal level, I don't think it is appropriate for an adult to date a minor. The maturity difference is just too great AND in my opinion, anyone who is attracted to a child (teenagers included) is just plain sick. Just my two cents.
You are basically correct, although the specifics may vary depending upon jurisdiction. Generally, though, there is no criminal act in a 20 yr old dating someone who is underage. Obviously, the parents should be involved in the determination as to when a child is allowed to "date." As long as there is no sex (and the definitions of sex may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction) before both are at the age of consent (again, this varies) there is, in most cases, no crime.
That is 100 percent correct...we cannot and do not prevent association between a minor and an adult.the only conduct that is outlawed is the sexual relationship between and adult and minor...this means sex or any sexual contact period.just dating does not give rise to any criminal violations...but the sexual relationship between an adult and minor are presummed in many cases.
There is no way that someone can be prosecuted for non-sexual activity. The consent laws specify sexual behavior, and from what I've read, non discuss kissing.
If the parents approve there might not be an issue, but I find it hard to believe that a 20 year old man would not want to have sexual contact for 2 years. Check your states statutes regarding the legal age of consent.
I really do believe that someone who is 16 should really be out enjoying themselves with people their own age. This is from personal experience when I was 14, I was seeing a man who was 21. My father did not approve, but I was threatening stating I would runaway and all that childish stuff that teenagers throw out there. I was afraid of losing my virginity, so we stuck to oral, but one day he raped me, after that the cat was out of the bag so to speak, I had nothing to save. We stayed together and got married when I was 20. I did manage to finish high school and complete nursing school. We divorced when I was 29, I felt that I had outgrown him and that I was now acting as his mother. Luckily we never had children. Moral of the story...when you are a teenager you are too young to know what is right for you, you need to take some time to experience life before you get strapped to one person. You may find that as you mature he is not the right one for you. Take your time you have lots of it and please don't rush into children.
I won't do the work for you, but I will give you direction.
720 ILCS 5/) Criminal Code of 1961.
That is where the answer lies for you. It is a lot of reading and once you have digested it, you can return with further questions.
You can find the statute here:

Every state is differend in their age of consent laws. Give me a state and I will give you a link to their specific statutes.
In most states the age of consent is 16 but some are as low as 14.
I think every state is different on this issue. I lived in North Carolina and New York. I will tell you in North Carolina I knew of a 15 year old girl and a 23 year old man who were dating. No one really questioned it...even when he got her pregnant. In New York I knew of a 14 year old girl and a 19 year old boy who were dating and again, he got her pregnant. He spent time in prison for statutory rape. I do know that in North Carolina the parents were not happy with their 15 year old daughter's decision, but legally it didn't seem to make a difference. On a personal level, I don't think it is appropriate for an adult to date a minor. The maturity difference is just too great AND in my opinion, anyone who is attracted to a child (teenagers included) is just plain sick. Just my two cents.
You are basically correct, although the specifics may vary depending upon jurisdiction. Generally, though, there is no criminal act in a 20 yr old dating someone who is underage. Obviously, the parents should be involved in the determination as to when a child is allowed to "date." As long as there is no sex (and the definitions of sex may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction) before both are at the age of consent (again, this varies) there is, in most cases, no crime.
That is 100 percent correct...we cannot and do not prevent association between a minor and an adult.the only conduct that is outlawed is the sexual relationship between and adult and minor...this means sex or any sexual contact period.just dating does not give rise to any criminal violations...but the sexual relationship between an adult and minor are presummed in many cases.
There is no way that someone can be prosecuted for non-sexual activity. The consent laws specify sexual behavior, and from what I've read, non discuss kissing.
If the parents approve there might not be an issue, but I find it hard to believe that a 20 year old man would not want to have sexual contact for 2 years. Check your states statutes regarding the legal age of consent.
I really do believe that someone who is 16 should really be out enjoying themselves with people their own age. This is from personal experience when I was 14, I was seeing a man who was 21. My father did not approve, but I was threatening stating I would runaway and all that childish stuff that teenagers throw out there. I was afraid of losing my virginity, so we stuck to oral, but one day he raped me, after that the cat was out of the bag so to speak, I had nothing to save. We stayed together and got married when I was 20. I did manage to finish high school and complete nursing school. We divorced when I was 29, I felt that I had outgrown him and that I was now acting as his mother. Luckily we never had children. Moral of the story...when you are a teenager you are too young to know what is right for you, you need to take some time to experience life before you get strapped to one person. You may find that as you mature he is not the right one for you. Take your time you have lots of it and please don't rush into children.
I won't do the work for you, but I will give you direction.
720 ILCS 5/) Criminal Code of 1961.
That is where the answer lies for you. It is a lot of reading and once you have digested it, you can return with further questions.
You can find the statute here:
