Son wins US lawsuit against parents who threw out his porn collection

[Ray From Cleveland]

A man who sued his parents for getting rid of his pornography collection has won a lawsuit in western Michigan and can seek compensation. The US district judge Paul Maloney ruled in favour of David Werking, who said his parents had no right to throw out his collection. He lived at their Grand Haven home for 10 months after a divorce before moving to Muncie, Indiana.

Werking said boxes of films and magazines worth an estimated $29,000 (£21,500) were missing. “There is no question that the destroyed property was David’s property,” Maloney said. “Defendants repeatedly admitted that they destroyed the property.”

Werking’s parents said they had a right to act as his landlords. “Defendants do not cite to any statute or case law to support their assertion that landlords can destroy property that they dislike,” the judge said.

While I admit the parents should have never thrown away this guys property, isn't he being a little ungrateful for them taking him in for nearly a year during a time of need, and then suing them in court? While the parents could have told him to find a different place for his porn, he should know his parents well enough to anticipate their rejection of his hobby. What I don't understand is a porn collection. 30 years ago? Yeah, perhaps, but who collects porn these days when we all have access to the internet and can watch or see just about anything we want?

It looks like the evidence stood up in Court!

 

[Moonglow]

Twenty nine thousand in porn doesn't he know it's free on the internet?

Once they allowed it into their home it became their problem in their eyes, but did not become their property to dispose of as the saw fit. Should have insisted he rent storage space off their property. Probably should have raised him better, also. Live and learn.

I have to ask whether the man has time for real sex when he devotes so much time looking at porn.

Of course not, and thank God for it. This guy does NOT sound like God's Gift to Women.

If I were the parents' attorney I think I'd argue that considering the obvious age of the material it was reasonable to consider it abandoned and as such, junk. I doubt the case could be made for it being "collectible antiques".

This also sets kind of a weird precedent for parents who can no longer say "I threw out those T-shirts you wore in the 1970s".

Maybe mum kept wanting dad to do things she learned ....

 

[justinacolmena]

What I don't understand is a porn collection. 30 years ago?

People read ancient Greek classics from thousands of years ago. Some consider it porn. Shame to throw it out all the same.
It could have been guns, cash, jewelry, gold coins, anything else someone had an opinion someone else shouldn't possess.
Whether it's porn or not is subjective. They threw it out. Might have been other collectibles or else they sold it and kept the money.

Please tell me this is supposed to be a joke.

Why did the freak have $30,000 worth of porn anyway? And what would make him think it's ok to take it to his mom's house? And then suing your own parents? Who took you in when you were in need and tried to help you break your porn addiction?

I'm wondering if not for the statue of limitations, all the boys who could sue their mothers for throwing out their baseball card collection.

 

[Blackrook]

The man has a right to sue his parents but it wasn't right for him to sue his parents.

 

[Blackrook]

However, the rule for parents should be, you do not have the right to throw away or destroy anything belonging to your child.

My mother used to destroy my things. It was the most traumatic thing she ever did to me.

The point is application of the law, no matter the object it is being applied to. This is a basic conservative problem. They only want people to follow the laws they agree with.

Actually parents have that right over their minor children. His parents forgot that even if he was living under their roof, that they no longer had parental control over him.

A basic liberal problem is the fact they are constantly spewing out bullshit about conservatives.

The parents claimed to have been acting as land lords. A landlord doesn't have the right to destroy tenant's property.

"who collects porn these days when we all have access to the internet and can watch or see just about anything we want?" Hey, reel-to-reel old school porn is worth a ton of money. Even old VHS porn tapes.

"Werking’s parents said they had a right to act as his landlords." No they didn't. Even if he was paying rent and his parents were his landlords, you can't destroy someones property. Just ask Judge Judy.

Don't extrapolate. Our families are going to court to revoke our gun rights. They fucking ran off with that shit to a lawyer to press child pornography charges, and they forgot they aren't supposed to be in possession of it themselves, but nobody in the concerned community minds because they're concerned parents on the way to the old age home.
