Law & Ethics - August 2007

I Honestly Believe getting Emancipated would do great help for me. Im 14, going to be 15 in November and live in California.. If a job permit is gaven to me, a friends parents who own a restaurant have agreed to hire me as an employee. I could find a small room or apartment with mygiven area. Im currently enrolled in school, & do great, I join many extra curriclular activities such as ROP, Stage & Lighting, and Cross Country. I believe that im being mistreated at home. Once while I was off to school, I was wearig a pair of jeans that my parents didn't like so they holded me down and with a pair of scissors began to cut them right off me. I dont know why, but when they were done cutting my jeans, they tied me down to a bed and began to hit me with a belt. Confused and scared, all I did was shed tears and hope for a way to escape. Ive seen counselling & my Psychologist has came to the conclusion that I was depressed. She Issued Anti Depressants for the nest meeting but we never returnedMy parents say they treat me the way they do for my

particular unique style of clothing. They say its abnormal & disgusting. But that is not true, its

an ecxuse a reason to be mistread. You see, after going to counselling, my Psychologist

changed my parents point of view. They allowed me to dress my way, in return they wanted

excellence in academics, and I did. But later on, I Confessed to my parents that I was Gay. After

that day things changed Dramaticly. They began to be more and more agressive towards me &

very impatient. My Dad, tells me not to act the way I do

but i can't help it, its who I am & I cant change me from inside. He has threatened me saying that

he would burst my lip if he ever heard or saw me do something with a guy. He also said he was

going to work during the night, so during the day he could spy on me at school. I told him he

couldn't do that because it would be abuse, angerly he said that he didn't care he would still do it.

He has beat me two times since the day of the confession in only a month and a half. He is

constantly putting me down, saying that im a prostitute? & other dreadful things as well. I can't live

here in this household. I don't feel safe, I can't wait til the next beating. I feel, as if things well only

get worse, more than they are already. I want to live in an enviorment where im not mistreated

and treated as an equal no matter what my sexual orrientation is. I've also come to the

conclusion that my father may be Homophobic. Whenever he sees a Homosexual, Transexual, or

whatever the case is. He tends to poke fun at them, giggles or at least gives a dirt look. I've been

kicked out once & another time he told me to leave but I refused and locked myself in my room.

I’m not a Michael Vick fan, But once Michael Vick has served whatever jail time he gets handed, and pays all of his fines, and does all of his community service should he not have the right to go back and play in the NFL if there is a team willing to take him? It's not like he broke an NFL rule, he broke the state of Virginia’s rule, and at that point the state would have already administered it’s punishment for breaking that said rule. The NFL commissioner has started his own independent investigation Of Vick. This now officially equals Vick’s 2nd investigation (The other was by the state obviously) He will serve his sentence for the guilty plead he entered. Should the Commissioner then have the right to step in and have an additional hearing for the same charges? (Thus the double jeopardy)& hand out an additional punishment that might prevent Vick from making a living.

Ok, my husband and I got into a little scuffle..nothing major...well he grabbed my hand with my keys in them...i called the police because all I really wanted them to do was give me my keys...well they ended up arresting him for domestic assault because he "forcibly grabbed my hand" and that is really all they have on him. I did write a statement saying that was all he did and that was the truth...well he had to go to court today for an arraignment..and tomorrow we have to go to court again to get the C.O.R. amended...(a COR is where he can not contact me for anything nor come home)...well my question is...I know they are going to make me come to court..I am not pressing charges against him..the state of tennessee is..i was wondering if I could plead the fifth..if I do can i get in trouble for not speaking..or is it best to just say that the only thing he did was grabbed my hand?

A man shoots some dogs and could get up to five years, yet a women shoots and kills her husband and gets a few months in jail and a couple of months in a mental institution.
We are, justifiably, making a big deal about a male sex offender in California, yet a female sex offender, with multiple counts against her, gets a slap on the wrist.

I went to a mental hopital along with some of my relatives, not knowing that it was a mental hospital. there i was virtually kidnapped and locked up for no reason in a dungeon like place they called the high risk ward. i wasn't given any reason for my detention, there was no documentry evidence to prove that I was abnormal. I'm well aware that under the mental health amendment act of 1987 there is no provision of punish ment against a doctor for unnecessary detention. but can I appealm to the Indian medical association or some other body for the same? Can I sue the hospital for compensation? I was admitted under a fake name. Will this affect my case in any way? Can I sue my relative also? And if so what shoyuld be my first step? should i lodge an FIR first. And how is unnecessary detention proved in court? If any lawyer is reading this, please help.

I was sent home today because I have a monroe piercing and as much as I tried to take it out,it wouldn't budge. They claim they told me at orientation that I'd have to take it out but they definately didn't. They barely spoke to me about anything at orientation. Is this right? Everyone there has earrings. Which is the same thing..a piece of metal in your body. So I'm just wondering if someone can get in trouble for this. I mean I've heard of a guy suing mcdonalds for being overweight and winning. So would I have any chance if I did take it to court?

I mean, you can still just make counterfeits of the old bill. Like 2 dollar bills, they stopped making those like forever ago, but if you have one, it's still worth two dollars. When they produce a new bill, you can still make counterfeits of the old design and it's still worth the same amount.

Today I was reading in a paper that we are supposed to boycott China made products because they have gotten so hungry for American money that they have let their standards for products go down. It says that they have tried to import poisonous swordfish, toothpaste that contains a chemical normally found in antifreeze, toys containing lead paint, and many more other products! I thought we were peaceful with China and wonder if they mean to do this or if greed is more important to them then peace with us.

in the beginning of july my fiancee & a man at a movie theatre got into a scuffle. Everyone in the movie theatre was witness that my fiancee was acting in self defense against this crazy person. He(the man) was the first person to touch. The police were called... everyone gave their statments then let go. No one was arrested or hurt/bleeding etc. We told the police we wanted to press charges against him & they said someone would contact us. We didnt hear anything more until today when we recieved a letter from the court saying that my fiancee is due in court in september for an "assault arrainment/pre-trail". my fiancee is 26 years old & has no prior offenses.
what does this mean?
is he getting charged with assault? what about the other guy?
what will happen?

If they fight 50 / 50 chance they die. If they won't fight they are
hanged, drowned, shot or killed in other ways. They get no
brakes to rest. nothing to kill the pain. Not even a drink of
water. They often get dumped beside the road dead or too
chewed up to even crawl. If we have a hart then we all hate
that correct?
Now one more question. What is your stand on abortion?
Are ALL of our harts where they should be. Do we really have
our priority in order. Is needles killing in any form not wrong?
What do you think? Thanks in advance.

Ok, so I read the Yahoo Answers code of conduct. I didn't realy see anything on this topic. Are we protested (free from any legal ramifications) when ansewering health topics. I have a great interest in the health feild so I love to answer the questions. I know there are many answers to questions (not just health topics) where people say things like .... jump off a cliff, or I have taken that drug...you can it will be fine....but, one of my only worries is that I may give wrong info. I am ususaly 99% sure of the answers I give and use websites to back that up, but I still worry.
