The college my friend goes to promised her that they would help with her disability. My friend has MS and is having trouble seeing normal print. She needs large print or a larger font in order to see and study her lessons. The Disabled Student Center promised her assistance in any way she needed. Now they seem to be renegging on a promise rendered. Do you think she has the right to sue, or should this be taken to a higher power. I recommended that she take it to the Dean first. Others are saying that she should sue them. What do you folks think? I usually try and work things out with a higher power, before taking drastic measures as such.

I got a letter Thursday morning from a law firm in Houston saying they were representing Galveston County for collections. It said I had an outstanding ticket for speeding with a price and a choice of options (guilty, not guilty, no contest, etc.) So I called the firm that sent me the letter, and they told me that I recieved the ticket in 2004 for speeding in a car that I've never owned nor anyone in my family, and I don't normally go to Bacliff. I called the Justice of the Peace and they said that they had a signed ticket.

Has this ever happen to anyone?
Does anyone know what I should do? I know I have to go up there to debate it, I think.

my daughter has just told me that her father has touched her inappropriately. as soon as we found out, we called the police. a sheriff came by and my daughter told her about where she was being touched. although she was scared she spoke. i'm proud of her. the sheriff said that my daughter will not be made to go to her dads house (she goes every other weekend). she says that, as far as she is concerned, she is in danger when she is there. i am still in shock. i'm scared for my little girl. what happens next? from what i understand cps will get involved. is it possible that she will have to go back to her dads for the weekend visits?
