Can you believe this lawsuit?

That whole thing is breathtakingly self indulgent and egotistical. Super-happy they lost.

Although as a future father myself, it makes me a little uncomfortable to see kids turning on their parents over petty crap like this, too...
 
Wow, ridiculous. Those children obviously got more than they let on if they're acting like complete brats at their age.
 
There is no gentle way to say it. That woman's kids are fucking assholes. The judge should be ashamed not to have officially decreed as much.
 
I remember, ages ago, in the wake of the Menendez stuff, someone wrote a column talking about these perfectly "normal" kids who thought their lives weren't supposed to be so normal -- thought their lives should be full of abuse and other drama -- and so there was a problem and so they killed their parents (like the Menendezes) or some such things. Turns out it was a satire, and untrue, but that didn't stop (apparently) a ton of lawyers from offering to represent them.

I have a hard time thinking this article is real, but I'll assume it is, and wonder how it just didn't get thrown out of court on the face of it. I hope that woman disowns her kids and moves far away so she never has to see them again.
 
I googled the mother's name, and there is quite a bit about her, including some quotes from what seem to be valid sources. Even so, I can't believe anybody would actually go through with such an inane thing. :eek:

This is about the most frivolous lawsuit I have ever heard of. :(

I don't know if the Menendez brothers were telling the truth or not. I tend to doubt it, believing they were most likely trying to justify their murders, but maybe they were telling the truth. It's a moot point now, anyhow. :eek:
 
Johnsons Law: The dummest people make all the important decisions.
 
The kids are ingrates, but the provocateur in this case was the father of the children, who was one of their attorneys in the lawsuit. The mother divorced him in 1995. Most likely, after years of paying child support and alimony, he convinced the kids that their mother misallocated the support monies he grudgingly paid, so he persuaded them to file this frivolous lawsuit.

There ya go...If I had been the judge...a judge in this case, I would have not only thrown the suit out, but awarded the defendant costs.
 
Possible jail time for petty and frivolous lawsuits would be a nice reform (for the clients and lawyer).

The father had custody so, if anybody was paying child support, it was their mother.

The Miners were raised in an affluent Chicago suburb which may account for some lack of understanding of normal privileges outside of their luxury bubble. But there's more to the story than just a couple of spoiled adult kids. One of the Miner siblings' three lawyers is their father, Garrity's ex-husband, also named Steven Miner. When the couple divorced in 1995, the kids moved in with their dad.

Garrity's attorney claims the lawsuit was her ex-husband's attempt at the "ultimate revenge"; however, the senior Steven Miner says he tried to talk his kids out the lawsuit before representing them. Other claims against Garrity's mothering ability filed in the case, include threatening to call the police if her son didn't wear his seatbelt and forcing her daughter to come home from a homecoming party at midnight. The most serious accusation claimed Garrity once slapped her son upside the head, causing him what he alleges are chronic headaches, according to ABC News.

Thanks for the correction. It appears that neither parent taught those two ingrates anything about values. Rather, they were given a sense of entitlement.

No matter how you look at it, that is one fucked up family.
 
I wonder how old he was when his Mum slapp3ed his silly head ?.
Maybe once was not enough for him to learn a lesson.

And that is about the nicest way to put it.

What spoiled rotten pussies.
 
Kids nowadays are fucked up.

Stupid ass kid's suing you parents -.-

If I was the Judge, I'd probably wack them upside the head with the hammer.

Where I come from this is referred to as "poor black child" syndrome. Privileged snot nosed little brats who somehow decided that it is cool and trendy to have had horrible pasts and be seen as "tragic tales"
