Complete idiocy. The only thing she'll likely receive is public humiliation and being ostracized from parts of her family.

 

[ZealousD]

Of course it is an inheritance issue. How else would a child be able to pay those kinds of damages if not inheritance?

You think a 12 year gets that kind of money day trading?

“I was at a party recently and it was difficult to hold my hors d’oeuvres plate,” she added.

This reads like a daily mash article

She's probably already ostracized.

Ummm..sorry for not knowing? Sheesh..relax.

Sounds like they are getting insurance coverage by suing the kid and making his insurance pay for the medicals. Which is probably being brought about because the woman's own insurance stipulates in her insurance that she will be a party to a lawsuit the company has to bring to get her medicals covered.

Would feel kinda sorry for the lady if that's true. Social media doesn't do complicated.

 

[YoungHav]

lmao. This story could be an Onion article hahahah.

 

[Northeastmonk]

What's sad is that now the nephew is the stranger to her and she sees him as a way to gain. She probably has no use for him as family now, which is how I experienced it. Once you gain something, you're now the person whose better off instead of the person who struggles with everyone else.

It was kinda weird after my dad died. An association with someone felt like business or some sorta judgement seat.

Seems like an awfully huge leap. This woman lives in the UES, is an HR manager and this incident happened 4 years ago. She more than likely has enough money to cover a simple broken wrist and more than likely already payed it off since it happened 4 years ago. I doubt she's that desperate for aid that she'd need to resort to suing her nephew.

You'd think that would have come up sometime before in the four years since the accident.

 

[Moff]

I hope the judge sentences her to become the boys butler

 

[Alrus]

But what if you can get 128k out of it?

Am I swaying you?

She lives on the Upper East Side and is a HRM, I'm guessing she earns more than that in a year...

 

[Shanlei91]

Upper east side. Human resources manager.

Sums it up nicely.

Heres the claimant

Damn, where's her other arm?!

The article has a picture of a completely different woman. Confused how you even found this picture in the first place? Did you ignore the article and just google the name, then post the first result?

Where are both of this woman's arms?!

 

[Amneisac]

NYDailyNews isn't exactly high-caliber journalism is it?

 

[tim.mbp]

“I was at a party recently, and it was difficult to hold my hors d’oeuvre plate,” she said.

This can't be real.

 

[ViciousDS]

oh shit......I knocked my aunts tooth out when I was 3. Went to go hug her when I was younger and due to height I jumped to go into her lap (she was sitting) and had my shoulder hit her mouth on accident.

Time to get a lawyer GAF

[Lionheart1827]

When I saw the

“I was at a party recently, and it was difficult to hold my hors d’oeuvre plate,” she said.

quote, I quickly scrolled back up thinking it was an Onion article. Cant believe this is fucking real.

 

[Palmer_v1]

I believe the child will file a counter suit for emotional damage after his Aunt ruined his birthday party with her histrionics. I heard one of his playmates was heard to remark, "Your Aunt is a real cunt."

 

[zeemumu]

Yeah...there's no way that the jury is going to grant you that much in damages for something so minor.

“I was at a party recently, and it was difficult to hold my hors d’oeuvre plate,” she said.

Especially not when THIS is one of your major gripes.

 

[FZZ]

No soul

Wow

 

[T-Rex.]

Wow. I have an uncle who's an absolute scumbag when it comes to money, but this is just taking the piss. I hope the judge embarrasses her.

This REALLY needs to happen..seriously.

 

[freeofgreed]

NYDailyNews isn't exactly high-caliber journalism is it?

I mean, it's the 4th highest circulated newspaper in the country and has been around for almost a century. So I think we can assume this story isn't fake. If you're referencing the quality of their writing idk, but that has no bearing on whether on not the story is real or not.

Upper East Side aunt sues 12-year-old nephew for $127G after breaking her wrist while leaping to greet her at birthday party









Pretty gross story. I could never sue a member of my family especially one so young over an accident. Seems extremely petty on the part of the aunt.

So I hope everyone in her family thinks she is a horrible person. Because she is a horrible person.

 

[Shredderi]

I really hope that the judge fucking crushes her.

 

[kirblar]

Complete idiocy. The only thing she'll likely receive is public humiliation and being ostracized from parts of her family.

This would require this person feel shame, and that they actually care about contact with their family.

Clearly, neither applies here.

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

Exactly what I was thinking. Super gross.

I can tell how gross it was because you added the word, 'super'.

 

[jett]

Surely there is a name for this gross medical condition this horrible woman is suffering from.

 

[N0VAM0D]

yuck

 

[BadRamen]

As someone who has dealt with family revealing how shitty they are when inheritance becomes available, this has got to be exactly what is going on. Was the mother of the kid a sister to this aunt or is the aunt on the dad's side? Trying to see how depressing this case really is.

 

[Kinyou]

I'm surprised you can even sue 4 years after the fact. As many have noted, seems very likely his mother left him money and now the aunt is after it.

 

[faridmon]

How do they even come up with a figure such as 127k? Why not 126k or 128k?

This shit confuses me when its not a clean round numbers.

 

[Dai101]

Surely there is a name for this gross medical condition this horrible woman is suffering from.

Sure. It's called being a gigantic CUNT.

 

[CapitalismSucks DonkeyBalls]

Is there even the tiniest bit of this that could hold up in court? Can the kid's family countersue?

Yep. She probably feels 'put upon' by the family for being upset with her.

I hope the judge just Jonah Jameson laughs her out of the court room

 

[QuicheFontaine]

You'd think that would have come up sometime before in the four years since the accident.

Whoa there nelly, you're just going to go ahead and assume it was an accident??

 

[NoctisVsStar]

She's not getting a dime.. This is hilarious.

 

[You Know Nothing]

Whoa there nelly, you're just going to go ahead and assume it was an accident??

Exactly. Her eight year old nephew clearly had it in for her.

 

[Lonely1]

Wait, the kid is 12 atm? I thought that this was going to be a case of suing her now rich nephew. Dunno if this is worse.
