I guess my general rule of thumb is: Don’t take people in who’s mothers have booted them out of the home.
I mean really, just play the percentage game. Sure there is going to be a small %% of screwed up mothers kicking gainfully employed, polite and considerate children out of the house. But all in all it’s probably the mother tired of being economically abused and having her good will thrown in her face.
Older relatives and friends fall into the parent/child trap when taking in young adults. Let the younger cousins and friends take em in.
Does the same apply to every liberal you know and/or work with, including family members? They are worse than police.
I could be wrong and the laws may have changed in the past several years since I last witnessed it in Georgia, so...
I realize the YL is a family member, but unless she can produce a rental agreement and/or receipts for payment of rent or lodging, she is a guest and no eviction process is necessary. A tresspass warning is sufficient. If the YL refuses to leave, she can be arrested for trespass after warning.
However, if the situation does indicate the eviction process is required, then it is a civil matter and the deputy’s job is only to keep the peace. He has no say in who stays or goes without a court order, signed by a judge, ordering the Sheriff (the Deputy’s boss) to take specific action listed in the order.
As soon as you realized the Deputy was stricken with “Barney Fife Authoritarianism” disease — which seems to be incurable and spreading rapidly — then you should immediately change your demeanor to shutting up, answering in mono-syllables and generally “smiling and nodding your head knowingly” so that the deputy doesn’t hang around any more than is absolutely necessary. You will also know that next time, you should have (at a minimum) an audio recorder to document the interaction.
At least, that’s what I would do.
I know a young lady who is pregnant and was kicked out into the streets. Spent a few nights on the streets. Someone took her in and she was kicked out two nights later. I guess this happened a dozen times during her pregnancy.
She even got kicked out of a couple of homes for pregnant unwed girls.
It was never her fault. All these people were just heartless.
Uh huh.
The first time this happened, I was at a Christian meeting. I considered driving 500 miles to pick her up. I prayed and really felt the answer was “No”.
I got counsel from a number of people who I respect and who are very charitable. They agreed I should not do it.
Sometimes what seems to be the Christian thing to do is actually interfering with God’s work. Like when Paul said if a man won’t work don’t let him eat.
I’ve made this mistake several times recently, going to rescue someone who is down and out. My heart was right , but I didn’t bother to pray about it first. I found out later I made things worse.
The danger is becoming callous to those who genuinely need help. I think I err on the side of charity and action.
Joshua 9 tells about Joshua and the leaders of Israel making a covenant with the Gibeonites. They were apparently down and out and respected the Israelites and their God. It says they did not counsel with God. This covenant became a great burden for them and brought them a lot of distress.

Whomever believed that the cops “are the law” never understood the law. Cops are next to the dumbest people, it is why they are cops and not lawyers or something else. In the military the threat in school was always, “Flunk out here and we make you a cook or a cop.”
It is a widely held axiom that he who has the gun makes the rules. Countires know this, dictators know this, apparently this policeman knows it also.
are you the young man?
Very true, which is why I advocate the people always being as armed as anyone in government. Hmmmm....I think our founders knew this as well.
No, I’m a woman, who used to be a friend of the mom
Her father and mother were divorced about a year ago. YL took it very hard, the mom really got the shafted, yet I must say, she worked hard to turn her against the dad. Dad cheated on the mom while in Japan, on orders. He’s still “engaged” to his Phillipino sweetie. He has moved to Vegas, where he has a good job. YL did manage to text him on her laptop and he offered to have her come out and live with him. Because of what he did and because the mom has successfully turned her against him (with some reason, I might add) she was reluctant to go. But she knew she would have to if she didn’t get back in her home. She did get back in and they’re talking.
Sorry! Flow of consciousness is right.
I understand where you’re coming from, but she does have rights in GA, and I’m only, ONLY attacking the mom’s Christianity because she became a screaming mimi and kicked her daughter out in the very cold (for GA) with no shoes, no long sleeves or coat, and took her cell phone so she couldn’t call for help. She also lied about her actions. That’s not even Christianity.
Actually, no. In GA at least, if you live in the house, you have rights of residency. I’m a landlord here and I’m really familiar with the rights of tenants.
That doesn’t happen easily in GA, PLUS she doesn’t really want to hurt her mother. She just wants this to blow over.
YL found out today why her mom flipped out. The mom says it’s because she was so fond of the young man that it hurt her when they broke up and her heart was getting torn back and forth over the off and on of their relationship.
I say she’s a L.I.T.T.L.E. too involved.
She wasn’t with me, I was so upset at her getting thrown out in the cold with no coat, shoes, phone, that I went and picked her up at her friend’s home and took her home to pick up her stuff she needed just to get by for a few days. The mom had her stuff all packed and when she got there, mom threw it outside, so YL called the police on my phone. Both YL and I would have liked to avoid the LEOs but we had to go that route. I went and waited in my car and the deputy took it all over when he got there.
Our county magistrate judge is pretty knowledgeable and just.
I know what GA laws would say. I’ve run into this before. If you live there, you have tenancy rights. but thanks for the reply.
