Question:

Police made a really really bad mistake with me. I can’t get over it, the psych ward couldn’t help, I need help. Still, even if it had been my last dying breath; I’d love nothing better than to use it to thank them for their service and the good work they do. I thought  the world of police! They rescued me from a living hell and saved my life when I was 12, almost 13! I got to go to school when I hadn’t been before. I got to see kids my own age! I got to spend about 6 totally awesome hours waiting for a foster home at the police station! Later, we went to the court house and talked to a prosecutor and mothers defense attorney. They always bought me wonderful Mc Donald’s meals. I got to look across the court room at her jail house blues and look her in the eyes while I told our story. She was prosecuted for the school thing, aggravated child abuse, assault and battery w/ deadly weapon,  pimping and pandering of a minor, support of house of prostitution.. We got the fugly whore! ? So id like to thank police, if you are you; I thank you very much. I thank you for arresting and locking up people who actually commit crimes (not framed or something), especially really heinous crimes. Thank you for saving lives and changing lives like mine! Thank you for first aid and calling ambulances. Thank you for getting in ugly fights and getting hurt to protect people! Thank you for the little things like speeding tickets and DIU’s(I have one) that keep us safe! Thank you for taking the time to figure out what really actually happened at accidents, not just taking the easy way out. Thank you for taking the extra time to talk to retards, schizophrenics, and sever Bipolar1 like me. Thank you so very much for risking your life every day! Thank you for being honest and accurate in your work. Just please know and remember one thing. If/ when you do make a mistake, you never know when you could be abandoning, betraying, or completely destroying someone who absolutely thought the world or you people. If I can’t trust police, I feel like I hate everyone and everything; trust no one. I hope your still reading to answer my question. Iv told you what trust means to me; but what does it mean to you? What is the significance of the trust of the public to a police officer? Does an admiration and heart felt trust deep and real make you care or just think that I’m a delusional nut job? They don’t normally serve them selves and abandon people, do they..? 

Answer:

You didn’t say what mistake the police did to you. From the letter, I assume they sent you to a psyche ward? As for your question about trust, trust means a lot to police officers. There are good and bad people in every profession, but the vast majority of officers truly care about helping people and that’s the reason they got into the profession. People sometimes do not like or agree with decisions officers have to make, but the decisions are what the officer believes is best for the person at the time. Officers are very busy and sometimes have to run from call to call, but they truly do care and make decisions based on what they feel is best for people. If officers have an attitude of not caring they will not last long in this profession. You said the psyche ward couldn’t  help, I don’t know the circumstances but sometimes psyche wards are like a revolving door where people don’t get the time or help they need before being released. I suggest finding a psychologist or  therapist you feel very comfortable with who can help you through the hard times. You might have to try a few therapist before you find one you feel really helps. Good Luck!

Question:

Hi I just found out I was being catfished online and when I called them out they said they will call the cops and get me arrested. That’s not true u can’t get arrested for calling some one out for catfishing? Right?

Answer:

Unless you are harassing, slandering or threatening them, there’s nothing you could be arrested for. As for them, catfishing is not illegal unless there is some kind of financial loss or fraud involved. Best bet is to just ignore them and thank your lucky stars you realized you were being catfished before you suffered any loss. Be careful on social media or dating websites, and don’t give out personal information to people you don’t know. If someone starts asking about money or favors, that should be a big red flag. There are a lot of fake people and scammers sitting behind keyboards… Speaking of catfishing, real catfishing is actually pretty fun. Get away from the keyboard, grab a fishing pole and head to the lake or river sometime!

Question:

Our neighbors in a duplex apartment play bass boosted rap music anywhere between 8am and 9pm. They also refuse to control their child, letting him leap off of furniture and sprint through the house until 9-10pm. The building is sitting on cement blocks with a 4 foot open space underneath. Sounds echo and travel badly.

We’ve asked them stop 3 times with the music. They reacted with either ignoring our requests and going at it longer than usual, or rolling (her) eyes, and still denying our requests.

We’ve notified our landlord of the problem, that it’s disturbing our peace and we can’t even enjoy being at home anymore. Recently we’ve taken refuge at my grandmother’s home while she is on vacation, but can’t keep this up forever.

We are financially in no situation to move until early spring, and are wondering if there is anymore we can do, take legal action against neighbors for being a nuisance or landlord for allowing the annoyance. Both parties have been contacted three times. We called the police but the state officer pulled up, then pulled away without talking to anyone?

Answer:

Hopefully by now the situation has been resolved. If not, make sure you have a paper trail of everything; Phone logs showing calls to the landlord, emails, text etc. If not, start one. Also videos or sound recordings of the nuisance. Police logs of calls, and dates / results of the times you spoke to the neighbors and problem tenants. With that kind of proof, most any courts would side with you for breaking the lease early. If you have proof, I’d tell the landlord you are going to stop paying rent until the problem is resolved since your request are not being taken seriously. Most that can happen is he goes through eviction proceedings which would probably last till Spring when you were going to move anyway. If all else fails, blast some Frank Sinatra, Country or Opera music at the neighbors wall at 2 a.m. and give them a taste of what it sounds like….. but that can lead to an altercation that you do not want, so document it and see how it goes. Sadly some people are just not good society members.

Question:

I am married, my husband is filing for divorce. I was told today. His mother bought a laptop for me when a few months ago because mine crashed and I am in school. When my mother in law found out my laptop had crashed, she offered to my husband to buy one for me. I did not ask for it, but was grateful and we made an agreement that I would pay her back when I get my school money in January. Now they want it back. today. Do they have a right to it? do I have to give it back? I do still plan to pay her back in January

Answer:

It’s January, football playoffs, we’re a little behind on answers… If it’s already settled, good for you. If not, gifts that are taken back usually end up on the Judge Judy show. Usually something given as a gift can not be taken back, but your husband may say it was community property or even his, then it would be tied up in property distribution during the divorce settlement. If you made any payments on it then it shows a contract and it would be in your favor, if not then it’s a “he said-she said” situation. Divorce could be stressful enough, do you really want this dispute on top of a divorce? Laptops are inexpensive nowadays, with payment plans, go buy your own and avoid a showdown with your mother-in-law and ex. Unless you want to appear on an episode of Judge Judy…
