Some lawyers don't look too deeply into things that would question the clients legitimacy. There are lots of reddit videos where a lawyer lost because the client decided to lie to them about one thing or another. A guy once tried to sue the company I worked for back taxes, the owner showed he had paid all employee taxes and this guy was a contractor, not technically an employee, but that didn't matter. You'd think the matter could be resolved by producing one of the W year end tax statements, but he claimed he necer got one...it was a big mess.
One woman stole her adult daughters car because she disobeyed her. when confronted by police she claimed that as her mother her daughter doesn't own anything it's hers and then cut up the drivers licence. Her lawyer argued that it was just a mother disciplining her daughter not knowing she was an adult who lived on her own believing her to be a minor
No. The HOA never existed, the farm never existed and this story never happened. Speaking of lawyers, why could "OP" not prove his great-grandfather owned the property first? His lawyers didn't bother with a simple title search? I'm marking this channel as "Do not recommend this channel to me".
One other thing that was not mentioned. In order to be a board member on an HOA, you have to own a property in the HOA. Technically these people were living on land that was classified as community property. Meaning they themselves didn't own jack. That should have disqualified them from the board immediately.
@@rmhartman A smart lawyer if they'd bothered to use that argument. They could have forced an election by court order, and then removed the original board
@@CertifiedForkLiftOperator69420 so Gimpy's not just a nickname. You should never confront them that was the point. You never know what's going to happen but if you do so you'd want to have a firearm because it's the best way to increase your chance of safety. Also confronting someone is different from threatening someone.
@@robertmagill6005 no, when you flash a gun around, that is a threatening action. especially if just someone yelling.. youll most likely be outside verses someone who is not armed.. yeah good luck.. im an instructor for a conceal carry classes.. hmu free of charge.. youll learn how the real world works..
OP needs to look into to see if there is ANY evidence at all that his grandfather EVER signed any HoA papers. and if so what rules he might be excemt from considering its a very hige chance that the farm was there long before the HoA ever got into the picture, so if the grandfather wasent part of the HoA the HoA would have no way to force OP into joining.
OP could actually play a more interesting game. The HOA board were not legally homeowners (their own tax evasion has them beat here), and thus ineligible to be on the HOA's board in the first place. OP as an actual homeowner should have them ejected from the board and speak with actual homeowners, there is a not unreasonable chance they could have agreed to disband the HOA, and by selling those houses each make a tidy profit when the HOA acounts were liquidated.
The county keeps records of who owns what. If the county records say the farm is yours, go to the police with the records, tell them someone put up a fence illegally and have them come with you as you remove it. I had a similar situation with an HOA. I wasn’t a member of the HOA and they put up a gate and told me my land belonged to the HOA. County records showed it was still my property. Tore out the gate after showing records to the police. HOA president tried to have me arrested, said he had put up gate. He got arrested for trespassing, destruction of property and theft through fraud. The last was a felony. Sued the HOA. Damages bankrupted the HOA and president. No more HOA.
Story 1: Technically...if the HOA actually owned the land and was not watering/feeding the animals it is Animal Cruelty...which is a Felony charge for each & every animal on the farm. Also...even if the HOA owned the farm property they would not own the animals...so charges of cattle & horse rustling could be made too...some states still have hanging as a punishment. Story 2: Always. Call. Police. Report the car as stolen immediately. The insurance company would also require this as well.
Yeah, I don't have the patience for all that court shit for the HOA in story 1. That would have been a very quick car ride to the farm, cutting the lock, tearing down of the fence, and waiting til someone came by to reset it up and use them as fertilizer and hog feed. If I own something, and you try to deny me my rightful use of it, it's not a matter of "Is he willing to kill for his stuff?", it's a matter of "Are they willing to die to try and take it?".
You do realize they hire a 3rd party to set a fence so you are going to kill someone who was just hired to do a job. This tells everyone here what kind of person you are and which way your moral compass is pointing.
Story 1, if true, certainly didn't take place in the US because a simple search of land records in that county would have shown the chain of title & Surrogates Court & the probate process would have been fast, especially involving a farm with animals.
@@donaldvanderborgh1817 I was thinking the same thing. If they had a lien of the farm they should have been involved during the probate process.

Unfortunately, we can't rule out a corrupt county government. There's more than enough ill-gotten wealth being moved around to buy the officials that are in a place to stall the process until after the court has decided in the HOA's favor.

My favorite stories occurred in Virginia: (1) Loudon County arrested a farmer for planting strawberries 🍓 on his property. They had all sorts of zoning laws prohibiting farming in the county - with excessive fines and jail time for doing so (farming) (2) Virginia Beach Virginia - a man owned a farm and a large stable. The smell of organic fertilizer aka manure and dust from planting crops - used to drift into housing developments. Of course folks were upset - but the land had originally been zoned for agricultural purposes. Va Beach as well passed zoning laws - and passed severe zoning and environmental ordinances. Both farmers took the respective local governments to court - and won major civil judgments. Virginia has tucked in among its many Commonwealth Ordinances a nifty little statue called…”The Right to Farm” - if a farm is grandfathered in - a municipality can’t prohibit folks from farming. This includes attempting to prohibit trucks and farm machinery from ingressing and egressing the farm.
I grew up on a small farm in Nashville years ago and the farms around us sold out and subdivisions moved in and within the first year our house had been broke into three times… the last time they set it on fire! We tried to refine out of agricultural and they stopped us saying that they wanted to see our trees in their backyard and the council woman agreed with them and stopped us from selling. The biggest kicker was when we got a bill for $600 for them cutting grass on the back of the property where they cleared out land without permission when they we’re putting in the street! Since they wouldn’t let us move we took advantage of the fact we could use firearms any time we wanted since it was zoned agricultural, they called the cops and these dumb fucks almost got shot since they walked out of the woods we were shooting in the direction of… I’m so glad I finally got out!
Never played Harvest Moon, but I've put a _lot_ of hours into Stardew Valley. I enjoyed it so much that I got back into home gardening and even built a small greenhouse a few years ago.
I actually played the original harvest moon tree of tranquility. The green disk where it was reported to be glitch. I love that game cause you care for animals, have a relationship, sell stuff and go mining.
I loved Harvest Moon a lot Rune Factory is amazing too, since it's basically Harvest Moon, made by the same people that used to make the Harvest Moon games before they lost the license to the name, but have added combat to the story and are more RPG-like.
Judge Me: I grant the farmer his land and all HOA property's to the farmer (demolish, bigger farm) - all in return that there be no criminal case (prison system is crowded) Farmers should get protections like those who are deployed, you take farmland there will be less food - less food the prices will rise & you'll have to import it
Sounds like it is time to get the honey wagon and dump at the club house. This must not be in America, because the county courthouse has deeds back to the founding of the state. So it would be easy to look up if grandad's father owned it.
@dangeary2134 and no one ever commits even accidentally federal crimes. Guess all those federal prisons full of prisoners are the biggest waste of government money.
@@ken12011 I'm going with the story is fake. No farmer is going to join the HOA only to be told their fertilzer stinks, their machinery is noisy and for gods sake stop the mooing!.
You can always tell when they are fake when they "forget" well known issues that would invalidate the whole story in minutes. Most of them are foreign to the US (which have no clue how US deeds, records or HOAs really work) or kids who also have no clue. HOAs are stupid and should be banned but are pretty much never evil cartoon villains.
Sadly, this is very common in our country. Many groups of people "buy" a house with a title deed and then after the person dies, get a "paid in full" receipt for the property. It happened to a home that my father sold and left the title deed as inheritance for me. The property was stolen and I could NOT find any lawyer that would fight for me, once they found out who they were fighting.
With all these stolen car stories, it makes me nervous cause I just got my first classic car, and while it’s nothing too expensive, a 1955 Customline, it’s special to me. I guess I’ll have to get some dash cams for it
See...in 'MERIKUH, we just put up no-trespassing signs and sit on our porch with a rifle waiting for criminals to do dumb criminal things. Try and put a fence up around my property? I might let you finish building it, but then I'm going to change the locks on MY new fence. 🤣
Story 1.. Forget calling the HOA, just cut the lock off and when the police show up show them the will and state that the next time anyone shows up for this "BS" they will be greeted by the buisness end of a shotgun... In the USA I believe this is more than enough legal justification under the fourth amendment to use such force...
@@Dipti3037 depends on the state for that even being a farmer still can not just shoot someone for no reason even if that person is trespassing as it would still be murder
@@wardragon9438 At least 27 states have stand your ground laws that pretty much would allow exactly that. Almost every state that would have a farm is included in those 27. Another 8 have castle doctrine which means you would have to shoot them in the house instead of in the open.
@@k7eric still have to have a reason trespassing is still not a reason even with stand your ground laws the person you shot has to give you a good reason to shoot just being on your property is not a good enough reason especially if they are unarmed
The first story, he should have cut the lock. It's civil so police can't do anything edit: No different than what squatters do, just your paperwork is legal.
@@randystegemann9990 Shoot, I was thinking that also, but depending on whether the fence could be usefull or not, I might be inclined to keep the free fence the HOA paid for..lol
Not only that but they were also endangering the animals and destruction of property. Fake document or not, if a will was made abd witnesses are called in, it's an open and shut case
@@SooSmokie That's what I meant by tear down as necessary, maybe install a gate to let equipment in and out. If it's a POS eyesore, it could all go, however.
@@marten3451 Especially endangering the animals. I wonder how the fence went up all at once before any farm hands noticed it, since they should have been at least feeding the animals.
My parents divorced when I was 11 but my mom and his aunt were very close and they stayed very close until my great aunt passed away. She really loved my mom.

Harvest moon back to nature and the lost village connected to skytree village series. Ps1 harvest moon in my favorite and stardew valley is great. Been playing stardew this spring and made it to ginger island. Have fun ripe⭐
Harvest moon back to nature for the PS1 was my first game in the series, I stoppedplaying it since I filled the barn with too many cows and it took me half an hour to milk, brush, and talk to all of them. I'm more fond of island of happiness, I was playing the considerate type and did not fight other people for a spouse and went for the gender opposite off the player character that stayed in the hotel.
I’ve got 30 years farming experience, including 25 years of working with many exotic animals from kangaroos to camels. I would leave that fence up and put gates in at proper places so you can bring in different animals that should be in a different field. The fence will separate them and you’ll have your gates and where you want them.
1969 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible L88 is likely worth in excess of $1 million dollars. They are rare, rare, rare. Only a few were ever built and are highly sought after.
In the last story, how stupid could they possibly be? There is no way that OP did not know they did it, it is good that they did not take it straight to a chop shop. They made it too easy to prove it was them and had the worst way possible of trying to get out of it. He let them borrow it but they had to destroy his kitchen door to get to it and the garage door to get it out?
Trespassing, attempted theft, animal cruelty, forgery. I want them to show records of the sell & deed. A misdemeanor forgery is at least one year in prison, a felony forgery is up to 3 yrs in prison So trespassing,forgery and possible tax evasion, definitely committing fraud That's not going to go well for them. Karma
I'm shocked that the entire HOA wasn't just dismantled and appalled a new one started or it was refilled or whatever. I never hear anything good about them
There probably aren’t, at least not legitimate ones. They probably signed him up for the HOA without him even knowing about it, and they forged his name (I think there was something in the story where they forged something for the court case.) There was also the part where the board didn’t want to pay the taxes involved, so they had the houses they were living in listed as community space, instead of a home, so if they did something like that, it wouldn’t surprise me. My guess is that there were letters that were being sent, especially if he hadn’t paid the dues in awhile, if ever, saying that they were going to take over the property, and the OP was trying to save what was his. It probably depends, in all reality, whether he had something like dementia, or something else that would cause memory problems (for instance, if the grandfather did boxing, or just did fighting earlier in life, and took enough blows to the head where it impacted his memory.) It sounds like the HOA didn’t do enough to try to contact the OP, after he had supposedly signed some document about it being donated after his death, and you would think if someone was paying the dues, they couldn’t just take it like that. They probably didn’t want to spend the money to go through the legal channels, so there might not even be papers that were sent, especially if they wanted the property badly enough.
I'll never buy property with an HOA. Just not worth it. Was about to buy a house last year. Wasn't disclosed in the ad that it was in an HOA. Real-estate agent knew I didn't want anything in an HOA. I asked explicitly to verify it wasn't in an HOA. Before putting in the offer I did my research. Yep. It's in an HOA. Dropped my real-estate agent got someone who actually gave a crap.
Just a heads up, Harvest Moon isn't the same series as it once was from like 16ish years ago. The series from then is now called Story of Seasons and the Harvest Moon games are a different series now. Basically the company that made Story of Seasons had a company port them in other regions and they changed the name to Harvest Moon but several years back, the company that made the games decided to do the ports themselves while the company that used to do it owned the name Harvest Moon and decided to use the brand and continue making a game under it. Another spin-off of Story of Seasons is Rune Factory which adds JRPG mechanics and dungeon stuff along side the farming. There's also Harvestella which is SquareEnix's attempt at making a Rune Factory like game. I have Rune Factory Tides of Destiny (PS3, there was a Wii version as well) and Rune Factory 5 (PC/Switch). The games are fun.
My old car is nothing special. It is just a 2000 V6 mustang. But I will fight tooth and nail to protect that car. I have suffered WAY to much to have some entitled moron just steal it and get away with it. Or damage it.
Ripe, I cannot conceive how those parents were so stupid as to believe they wouldn't be caught in their crimes. First, destroying your door between the kitchen and the garage, not cheap, and then destroying the garage door, just absolutely craven meanness. These parents should have gone to jail for a good long while. Why would anyone think they can escape consequences for their crimes, I'll never understand. Totally stupid, criminal and irresponsible as far as the children were concerned!
I'm thinking the false theory about sending the kids to grandparents to learn right from wrong. WHO TAUGHT the criminal parents right from wrong??? I don't know about the prospects of the grandchildren.
It's terrifying to think that those criminals actually thought they were going to get away with that. Animal cruelty forgery and theft SMH

Sounds like it is time to get the honey wagon and dump at the club house.
This must not be in America, because the county courthouse has deeds back to the founding of the state. So it would be easy to look up if grandad's father owned it.
Paperwork gets misplaced and lost constantly.
@@ken12011 lost, stolen, destroyed, or not even generated.
All Federal crimes.
@dangeary2134 and no one ever commits even accidentally federal crimes. Guess all those federal prisons full of prisoners are the biggest waste of government money.
@@ken12011 I'm going with the story is fake. No farmer is going to join the HOA only to be told their fertilzer stinks, their machinery is noisy and for gods sake stop the mooing!.
You can always tell when they are fake when they "forget" well known issues that would invalidate the whole story in minutes. Most of them are foreign to the US (which have no clue how US deeds, records or HOAs really work) or kids who also have no clue. HOAs are stupid and should be banned but are pretty much never evil cartoon villains.
Sadly, this is very common in our country. Many groups of people "buy" a house with a title deed and then after the person dies, get a "paid in full" receipt for the property. It happened to a home that my father sold and left the title deed as inheritance for me. The property was stolen and I could NOT find any lawyer that would fight for me, once they found out who they were fighting.
There would be violence if an HOA tired to claim my property
I would have cut locks and got a bulldozer to tear down fence. Police could not do anything cause it’s a civil thing
Petition to get rid of every hoa that exists
Last story: They steal them right out of the dealerships. That's a real thing. In broad daylight. This isn't remotely surprising to me. I've lived it.
With all these stolen car stories, it makes me nervous cause I just got my first classic car, and while it’s nothing too expensive, a 1955 Customline, it’s special to me. I guess I’ll have to get some dash cams for it
See...in 'MERIKUH, we just put up no-trespassing signs and sit on our porch with a rifle waiting for criminals to do dumb criminal things. Try and put a fence up around my property? I might let you finish building it, but then I'm going to change the locks on MY new fence. 🤣
Story 1.. Forget calling the HOA, just cut the lock off and when the police show up show them the will and state that the next time anyone shows up for this "BS" they will be greeted by the buisness end of a shotgun... In the USA I believe this is more than enough legal justification under the fourth amendment to use such force...
Farmers are given a lot of leeway legaly in the USA so yeah he could legally shoot them an not face prison time .
@@Dipti3037 depends on the state for that even being a farmer still can not just shoot someone for no reason even if that person is trespassing as it would still be murder
@@Dipti3037 i think it depends more on the state. For the most part, i think so. But not sure about all states.
@@wardragon9438 At least 27 states have stand your ground laws that pretty much would allow exactly that. Almost every state that would have a farm is included in those 27. Another 8 have castle doctrine which means you would have to shoot them in the house instead of in the open.
@@k7eric still have to have a reason trespassing is still not a reason even with stand your ground laws the person you shot has to give you a good reason to shoot just being on your property is not a good enough reason especially if they are unarmed
As Ripe always says, "never mess with a farmer."
Amen 🙏🏻⭐️
@@RipeStories Stop making up BS stories, please.
The first story, he should have cut the lock. It's civil so police can't do anything
edit:
No different than what squatters do, just your paperwork is legal.
Exactly what I would do, tear down the fence as necessary and pay a farm hand or three to be there at all times.
@@randystegemann9990 Shoot, I was thinking that also, but depending on whether the fence could be usefull or not, I might be inclined to keep the free fence the HOA paid for..lol
Not only that but they were also endangering the animals and destruction of property. Fake document or not, if a will was made abd witnesses are called in, it's an open and shut case
@@SooSmokie That's what I meant by tear down as necessary, maybe install a gate to let equipment in and out. If it's a POS eyesore, it could all go, however.
@@marten3451 Especially endangering the animals. I wonder how the fence went up all at once before any farm hands noticed it, since they should have been at least feeding the animals.
Enjoying a weekend in Key West and listening to ripe by the pool with a pina colada
My parents divorced when I was 11 but my mom and his aunt were very close and they stayed very close until my great aunt passed away. She really loved my mom.
Freely going to admit im a bit confused why fence guy didn't tear it down or set it on fire.
Because the HOA forged documents, claiming it for themselves, and would get OP arrested for "trespassing" on his own property.
Ah Harvest Moon. Those were some good memories.
*big farm...lots of very isolated and secluded areas where belligerent and trespassing hoa enforcement thugs could contribute to the fertility of the soil...hypothetically speaking of course...maybe*
😂😂
Farm hands would have busted the lock. Or just picked it.
I've played Stardew Valley, Harvest Moon, Story of Seasons and Rune Factory. The Harvest Moon title belongs to Natsume and Story of Seasons belongs to Marvelous and Stardew Valley was made by Eric Barone aka ConcernedApe under Chuchlefish.
I’d love to hear the HOA side of things. This video sounds like it is leaving out a LOT of information.
Mary here USA.I got to drive a 1966 Corvette around Daytona Speedway.
If he was that sick he should have had a caretaker.
RIPE! may I suggest that you include a Country of Origin in the Post. Many people will find that some of the laws being or Not Enforced do not apply to them and may cause confusion as to the Laws that apply to their specific location and country.
Good idea although they don’t always include that info 🥲
Harvest moon back to nature and the lost village connected to skytree village series. Ps1 harvest moon in my favorite and stardew valley is great. Been playing stardew this spring and made it to ginger island.
Have fun ripe⭐
Harvest moon back to nature for the PS1 was my first game in the series, I stoppedplaying it since I filled the barn with too many cows and it took me half an hour to milk, brush, and talk to all of them. I'm more fond of island of happiness, I was playing the considerate type and did not fight other people for a spouse and went for the gender opposite off the player character that stayed in the hotel.
I’ve got 30 years farming experience, including 25 years of working with many exotic animals from kangaroos to camels. I would leave that fence up and put gates in at proper places so you can bring in different animals that should be in a different field. The fence will separate them and you’ll have your gates and where you want them.
Right. Keep the fence. Get your own gates/lock, and use it agaisnt them lol.
1969 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible L88 is likely worth in excess of $1 million dollars. They are rare, rare, rare. Only a few were ever built and are highly sought after.
In the last story, how stupid could they possibly be? There is no way that OP did not know they did it, it is good that they did not take it straight to a chop shop. They made it too easy to prove it was them and had the worst way possible of trying to get out of it. He let them borrow it but they had to destroy his kitchen door to get to it and the garage door to get it out?
Tow Truck case...."No good deed goes unpunished"
😎👍
Big thumbs up for the channel...
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.
Trespassing, attempted theft, animal cruelty, forgery.
I want them to show records of the sell & deed.
A misdemeanor forgery is at least one year in prison, a felony forgery is up to 3 yrs in prison
So trespassing,forgery and possible tax evasion, definitely committing fraud
That's not going to go well for them.
Karma
4:10 get the cordless angle grinder
I'm shocked that the entire HOA wasn't just dismantled and appalled a new one started or it was refilled or whatever. I never hear anything good about them
NO HOAs!
Love this channel❤❤And Disney is the cutest!
For the car story would look into getting gps trackers or air tags for the vehicles.
We never had a problem with HOAs.
We just ended them and I don't mean in court.
My two favorite farming games are Golden Farm and Township. Farming games are also my favorite genre overall.
I am actually playing Stardew Valley while listening to this. LOL Currently Summer 2, Year 2.
I love playing Harvest Moon.
Ha... I'd cut the lock everytime.
♾🌟s and 😻🤗s for Ripe, JB and Disney!
here you go.. you can borrow my car.. all you need to do is break in with an axe and smash the door down. No Problem right... Drugs man...
Story 2. No, you can't be held responsible for information withheld
it's so funny how you mentioned that at the very end because I'm currently playing on my switch stardew Valley as I'm listening to the story
I hope farm OP sued for all his back wages.
Hello Ripe. Need to see if there are papers signing up for HOA. See you tomorrow
There probably aren’t, at least not legitimate ones. They probably signed him up for the HOA without him even knowing about it, and they forged his name (I think there was something in the story where they forged something for the court case.) There was also the part where the board didn’t want to pay the taxes involved, so they had the houses they were living in listed as community space, instead of a home, so if they did something like that, it wouldn’t surprise me. My guess is that there were letters that were being sent, especially if he hadn’t paid the dues in awhile, if ever, saying that they were going to take over the property, and the OP was trying to save what was his. It probably depends, in all reality, whether he had something like dementia, or something else that would cause memory problems (for instance, if the grandfather did boxing, or just did fighting earlier in life, and took enough blows to the head where it impacted his memory.) It sounds like the HOA didn’t do enough to try to contact the OP, after he had supposedly signed some document about it being donated after his death, and you would think if someone was paying the dues, they couldn’t just take it like that. They probably didn’t want to spend the money to go through the legal channels, so there might not even be papers that were sent, especially if they wanted the property badly enough.
Thank you for time with Disney sheep seams happy.
My favorite farming game is Rune Factory 3. I'm pretty excited for the switch version to come out.
Ahhh the best HOA story channel.
Everything I hear about the HOA makes me never wanna deL with them .
If you have the deed to the farm than their is nothing the courts can do in favor of the HOA this is a 100 percent win
Great stories today!
I'll never buy property with an HOA.
Just not worth it.
Was about to buy a house last year. Wasn't disclosed in the ad that it was in an HOA. Real-estate agent knew I didn't want anything in an HOA.
I asked explicitly to verify it wasn't in an HOA. Before putting in the offer I did my research.
Yep. It's in an HOA.
Dropped my real-estate agent got someone who actually gave a crap.
Id of kept the fence, Thx for the fence.
A farm being part of a HOA sound ridiculous to me.
Farming Simulator is the best genre of farming games.
Just a heads up, Harvest Moon isn't the same series as it once was from like 16ish years ago. The series from then is now called Story of Seasons and the Harvest Moon games are a different series now. Basically the company that made Story of Seasons had a company port them in other regions and they changed the name to Harvest Moon but several years back, the company that made the games decided to do the ports themselves while the company that used to do it owned the name Harvest Moon and decided to use the brand and continue making a game under it. Another spin-off of Story of Seasons is Rune Factory which adds JRPG mechanics and dungeon stuff along side the farming. There's also Harvestella which is SquareEnix's attempt at making a Rune Factory like game. I have Rune Factory Tides of Destiny (PS3, there was a Wii version as well) and Rune Factory 5 (PC/Switch). The games are fun.
i love the harvest moon series. favorite one was animal parade for the wii. but if you count the rune factory series here, rune factory 4 special
Stardew valley brings back some memories
County records would show that the grandfathers dad and ALL previous owners on any and all properties.
My old car is nothing special. It is just a 2000 V6 mustang. But I will fight tooth and nail to protect that car. I have suffered WAY to much to have some entitled moron just steal it and get away with it. Or damage it.
What is it with HOA’s having problems with farmers
HOA wants the land for free and then build and sell the land and houses for profit.
Greed and a supreme lack of common sense and propriety.
@@ShakaarGaleed True.
Ripe, I cannot conceive how those parents were so stupid as to believe they wouldn't be caught in their crimes. First, destroying your door between the kitchen and the garage, not cheap, and then destroying the garage door, just absolutely craven meanness. These parents should have gone to jail for a good long while. Why would anyone think they can escape consequences for their crimes, I'll never understand. Totally stupid, criminal and irresponsible as far as the children were concerned!
I'm thinking the false theory about sending the kids to grandparents to learn right from wrong. WHO TAUGHT the criminal parents right from wrong??? I don't know about the prospects of the grandchildren.
Story 1: I hope OP was smart enough to get out of the HOA as part of the settlement.
HOAs : **getting banned & outlawed**
*_“And Nothing Of Value Was Lost!!!”_* ~ Jay Sherman, _The Critic_ (1995!episode)
I would sue them for expenses and anything else you can get.
