Law & Ethics - December 2007

Jamie Lynn just confirmed that she is pregnant at 16 years old. She is star of the hit Nickelodeon show "Zoey 101" If they were to fire her, would that be sex discrimination based on pregnancy? Could she bring a lawsuit against them for unlawfully firing her? I don't think any girl/woman should be fired based on pregnancy!

My wife and I are active duty military. We have been staioned overseas in korea for 1 year. We are now stationed in WA our problem is mainly with her parents The last time we limited her parents contact to the children they call child protective services and filed a complaint of neglect 1 day before christmas eve. Which was found to be unsubstantiated but under the law they were not allowed to tell us who filed the complaint but the grandparents admitted it later. both children have been in the temporary custody of the grandparents for 1 year because we were deployed. I need help to figure out what to do because my wife and i suspect that the children may have been brainwashed to be afraid of the other grandparents. what are our rights concerning this every time we do something they interfere i want to send the children to see a therapist to see if they can disern what has happened. They seem to want custody of my stepson not our daughter. i need help and the military can do little

LAKE ELSINORE, Calif. - The mother of a 13-year-old boy has been arrested for supplying nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, used during her son's ditch parties at their Lake Elsinore home.

Maria Antonia Mendez was arrested for providing the gas used by the teens to get high. Riverside County sheriff's Sgt. Evan Petersen says the teens skipped school and hung out at the home.

Police began investigating the case after a school officer noticed repeated absences of a group of students. Canisters of nitrous oxide were found by deputies serving a search warrant Monday evening.

Investigators say the teenagers filled balloons with the gas and inhaled it.

The sergeant says the 28-year-old mother also participated in the nitrous parties. She was booked for investigation of multiple counts of child endangerment and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.


Who can believe this?? Are people really this ignorant??

So I receive this letter in the mail back in June saying that I owe money to Countrywide tax service because of an error with my house taxes. They represented the previous owner and paid the taxes on my house 3 months after I purchased the house. So I get ahold of them and to my knowledge resolve the issue. Yesterday my wife e-mails me a collection notice. I leave a scathing msg for th person to contact me via email as I am deployed in Kuwait. She does and says she made several attempts to contact CitiMortgage (my mortgage co) to no avail. So I've started a response e-mail, and it's not nice.

So my questions are, can this company initiate a collection against me even if the issue is between them and CitiMortgage? Are they able to do a collection while I am mobilized?

I "had" no issue with resolving this, however, now I want to make it as painful and costly for them as possible. Thanx.

I'm not for it, but I'm not totally against it either. I'm still researching this issue and have not formulated an opinion quite yet. Looking for good solid responses.

Before you say that you don't support it because it is simply un-American, then please cite your reference/source for this. Also, please consider that America has never dealt with terrorists in it's history until now.

Every time I give her a new idea or a project to finish, whenever I discuss a new corporate policy, she finds some gray area around it and then argues against it. If I say, “Okay then, what’s your idea?” she just gives me a ton of hazy answers. What is the best way to deal with someone like that? By the way, I don’t have the option of firing her at this time.
Thanks.

Hi! My dream is to be a civil rights attorney. I am a junior in college right now studying hard to get a good g.p.a to get into a top law school. So do civil rights attorneys handle litigation in civil courts such as sexual abuse cases and discrimination? Do they not do anything in criminal law and just do torts? Court TV anchor Lisa Bloom is really inspiring to me! She sued the boy scouts of America successfully because they would not let a girl in. She is so inspiring! Do you think I be a civil rights attorney like her? Does that mean I would file lawsuits for people that were discriminated based on sex, race, national origin, physical handicap, sexual orientaion, etc? Does that also include sexual abuse and rape cases? I want to help victims and people that don't have a voice!

In other words, if a person loses his/her license in one state, does that mean that they can't drive in other states as well? I would assume that it would take affect in other states as well, because one a person's license is suspended and is deemed unsafe on the road, then why should he/she have the driving privilege in another state. I don't know, i am just speculating here. Any sort of feedback or assistance, would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
