And vice versa
Meaning?
You clearly don't understand how trusts work.
Jealous mf'ers and voyeurs. 😉
Reverse everything you just said but put it through the eyes of the one being helped.
The father of one of his friends got him into Briarcrest not the Tuohys.
Yes, he was already really good at football and basketball, and his academics before he moved in with the Tuohys.
He moved in full time with the Tuohys right before his senior season started. He stayed with them off and on before that because he was friends with their daughter
We do all the time.
It’s extremely difficult for the one being helped.
They know they’re loved and have a sense of family. But they also know they aren’t family.
It’s often extremely awkward.
But what’s the alternative? Leaving a kid like Michael to sleep at the laundromat? Or not getting involved at all.
Hopefully, through the difficult times and all the awkwardness… the one being helped will eventually land on his own two feet and be in position to build a family of his own.
If I remember correctly…the movie did suggest that Michael was already at Briarcrest but he was basically homeless.
Thankfully the Tuohys were able to provide him a real home. Tremendous benefit for Michael.
Do the moral of the story is to:
and 3 don’t put them into a conservatorship and call it an adoption
Maybe not. They could have made a mistake that they thought was right at the time.
Maybe their goal the whole time was to just screw the kid over. But do you really believe that?
You certainly don’t adopt a kid at that age.
Maybe not screw the kid over, but get “paid back” for all their hard work helping Michael.
You can adopt at that age. Conservatorship was just completely unnecessary. The judge deserves some blame for not asking questions about it for sure
3. Record all of your conversations with the kid and preserve them as potential evidence in the event he/she later sues you.
Good advice for the kid if your benefactors try to screw you out of some $
There should be a pretty good paper trail on this movie money, so one way or another, we'll see what the truth is there. The verdict on that will inform the parties relative credibility on everything else.
