Law & Ethics - November 2006

I am a care worker. Today I have been on an early shift. One of my clients had slept in her glasses, earing-aid and denture. The problem with this lady is that she had had an ulcer due the fact she would sleep in her earing-aid. I have reported on this many times, but the managment team would simply not listen to me. Another client has complain about cold today, for he had been woken up in the morning only to be left in his shirt (no socks on either) in the middle of the lounge (today I have had to put socks on everybody). And Mr. Thomas, another resident, has slept in his last night's dirty underpants (the clean ones had been left kicked to the side in his bed but one of the Home's managers had told me not to put it down in the report). I am scared, really, and I really do not know what to do. Though I am a first degree holder in Philosophy, I would not ask for qualifications in order to do this kind of job, but I do think a Home manager should have some kind of qualifications.

Alltel is currently blocking it's users from dialing any of the known free 411 numbers.... this forces us to use their version of 411 which is very expensive and makes money for them....

When I called them and asked them about it... they said that they had blocked all calls to any number that they were aware of that offered this service.

They claim it was regulated under the FCC and fell under the same category as blocking collect calls and 900 numbers. I think these two things are different because both can potentially cost Alltel money...

FREE 411 does not cost ALLTEL money...FREE 411 makes their money because before you get your number, you have to listen to advertisements... they charge people to advertise with them... That's why it is free...

IT IS NOT LEGAL TO FORCE SOMEONE TO SHOP WHERE THEY DON'T WANT TO SHOP... THIS IS FORCING YOU TO USE THEIR SERVICES... SO IS THIS LEGAL?

any info will be appreciated....

Most people that support abortion think it should be legal in cases of rape, insest, and if the mother is in danger. This only accounts for 3% abortions that take place. That leaves 97% babies are being killed for the mothers convience. Many people have an abortion becouse times are hard, its inconvient, financial freedom, they are lazy, and they just don't want to have a baby. Why not make abortion only legal in these special cirumstances. Doing this would save over a million babies a year. Its not perfect, but its a good start. Why dont we start their and work from their. As far as insests goes theres a very easy solution to this, "JUST DON'T HAVE SEX WITH YOUR FAMILY MEMEBERS." Is it really that are not to fool around with your family members in the first place. Its totally desqusting to begin with, and totally uncalled for.

you have the guts to watch "BookTV" (C-Span2) tonight, (Saturday) at 10 PM ET ?)

Or, can't you stand the thought of it possibly being true and have decided "head-in-the-sand" is your best option?

Nicholsons' words seem appropriate, "You can't handle the truth".

I suggest you watch, THEN form YOUR pre- determined opinion!!

I have been seperated for 4 years now. We had a "Mediation Agreement" last Oct (2005). When his lawyer drew up the divorce papers she added several things so I didn't sign them. Nothing has been done since then. Since it's been over a year for the mediation and nothing has been done is there any legal document requiring me to allow visitation?
He doesn't pay support regularly and is stalling this divorce so I want to cut off visits in an attempt to get reg support and the divorce finalized.

Additional Details

I do realize that the kids deserve to see their Dad However they also deserve to receive support payments. I strongly believe child support is just that "child support". It's winter time - the kids need winter clothes, new shoes, etc. I always use the support I get on the kids only. Not trying to be selfish here. I am a stay-at-home mom of 4 and going back to school full-time in Jan. He HAS the money - he just doesn't WANT to pay.

If ones being harrased by the college or school just because, they stood against the Principal or teacher.. Is'nt it obvious that once when we enter "THE Bad List", they always find a way or a chance to put us down! Is it wrong for us to do what we think is right, both legally & morally?

I checked with the court and they told me they received my afidevit and the documents were delivered to the respondent. Now they ask me to deliver the documents for questioing to the respondent (my former employe) even though I have not got a solicitor. What shall I do?

I was convicted of 1st degree robbery when I was 15 years old. After being released from prison I've graduated from UCLA, have not had any encounters with the law, and have done good community service. Do you think that the Cal. Bar will approve my moral character determination if I decide to go to law school?

I'm dealing with a dead beat dad who has two other children. He gave up his rights to his oldest and doesn't support the next child. My child is his third child but I'm the first one to file for child support. He got another girl pregnant. My child is two months and he hasn't bought anything, gave me money or visited my child. What are we entitled to? Do I have to let him see her when he pays child support? What if he moves to another state, does the court order still binding? What if he gives up his rights, can he still be ordered to pay child support? What if he wants joint custody, then what? He doesn't have time for a newborn...he parties nonstop and has a new girlfriend with a new baby on the way. He ran around with her while I was pregnant. Not to mention, he was and is verbally/mentally/emotionally abusive...he basically harasses me daily. I don't believe he will take care of our child if granted visitation rights. What grounds do I have to ask the Judge to deny visitation?
