Adult children’s ‘bad mothering’ lawsuit dismissed

[BDBoop]

In 2009, the children, represented by three attorneys including their father, Steven A. Miner, sued their mother, Kimberly Garrity. Steven II, now 23, and his sister Kathryn, now 20, sought more than $50,000 for "emotional distress."

Miner and Garrity were married for a decade before she filed for divorce in 1995, records show.

Among the exhibits filed in the case is a birthday card Garrity sent her son, who in his lawsuit sought damages because the card was "inappropriate" and failed to include cash or a check. He also alleged she failed to send a card for years or, while he was in college, care packages.

What with all the rolling about, both of my eyeballs currently occupy the same socket.

My friend is a paralegal.

OMG. Can you imagine two spoiled brats taking a case like that in front of a jury made up of working class slobs, who were losing their decent day's wage to take the lousy $15 the county pays, to listen to these little whiny bastards say 'mama didn't buy me a Malibu Barbie House', and 'She didn't send a Hallmark, and you know they're the very best'. If the jury could have figured out a way to convict the kids of something, they would have.

Clearly, this issue is so vital that we need two threads on it.

Either that or Brain Dead really is Brain Dead.

Without a doubt, the answer is option #2.

If it can't be found with a cursory search, then I have to believe said 'other thread' does not exist.
