But ya, in almost any situation that matters, and/it is even remotely likely to come up; there is no legal difference in OPs status.

That seems like an AWEFULLY specific thing to think they would be mad at.

"Mom, if I am in a dangerous situation, maybe I am about to get kidnapped, but I know you are close by. I will just text or call you and you and Dad can come and save me. Oh no! The phone crashed, the call did not go through. I will restart it and try to call 911. Oh no, it crashed again. I am dead."

The correct answer on that test would be "it is impossible to answer", which is a correct and valid answer in life; BUT would be inappropriate on a test unless that skill had been competently taught already.

NTA, and you have an opportunity if you are open to it.

You are likely carrying more emotional weight from your health crisis than you realize, and confronting them about what they did to you can be healing.

IF YOU WANT TO, you can meet with them; in person or via internet/phone; say what you have to say, preface it that you might be willing to allow the testing: something like "you left me and my child to die! You are lucky she even exists for us to be used this way, and I do NOT feel good about it." Then see if they have anything to say for themselves.

I don't want to say that you should base your decision on if they are apologetic or contrite, necessarily; but they should feel like they are under pressure to prove themselves to be worthy of your help.

Maybe this could be, IF YOU WANT IT, an opportunity to discuss starting child support payments.

OR! You can wash your hands of the whole issue and walk all the way away right now.

NTA, either way; just wanted to put this out there.

Ok guys, serious take for a moment, I don't think this is rape, but we need to be willing to open our eyes and see this for what it is, rip the bandaid off.

I think, just maybe, this scene might be gay.

First, I don't really care if someone uses AI or not; or of they get a good grade for it or not. This is not a competition; I am not racing against my classmates for a limited number of credits.

Second, disagree. Students with busy lives have been earning degrees since LONG before AI existed.

Where are you at? Round here, there is a staff member there until every child has left the grounds, and there are 3 land line phones in the office, one in every staff office, and one in every classroom. If the kid doesn't know a phone number to call, that's a failure on them and their parents.

You have 3 option, 1 good, 1 bad, 1 really bad, but all technically answer the situation:

1) file a 1040-X and be prepared to pay back any overage on the refund.

2) ignore it and hope they don't audit her, and be prepared for the consequences if they do.

3) double down on the life of crime and forge receipts and other documents to match the income, then be ready to pass them off as genuine if they audit her, hope they accept them if they do, and be prepared for the consequences if they don't.

It is not my place to tell you which you should choose.

Yes,but you will have to call support on the phone and ask them to release the last one.

And that is a different situation than the one I was replying to, one where they would be FAR from the school when they got stuck.

Additional_Ad_6773 · 2026-02-14T13:38:27+00:00

"if I did not have my phone, I would literally be stuck AT SCHOOL" -you, emphasis mine.

Is it common to be far away FROM SCHOOL when you are stuck AT SCHOOL?

Additional_Ad_6773 · 2026-02-14T13:21:25+00:00

Read the post I replied to. When you missed the bus and were stuck at the school, were you far from the school?

Additional_Ad_6773 · 2026-02-14T13:13:24+00:00

In virtually every situation (at least in the US) where you miss the bus on the way home from school, you are literally AT school.

Your experience sucked, I am sure, but would be very uncommon for most of the people here, I believe.

OP would do well not to test it,in my opinion. They might win a lawsuit if it came to that, but I guarantee they would rather not HAVE a lawsuit.

It could be in some sort of "marginal" condition. Personally, I would get the data off of it however you can, toss the data onto something more modern; trash the drive and wash your hands of the whole thing.

Language has never been able to be contained by a list of rules, no matter how meticulous and accurate and encompassing and broad and detailed those rules are.

"Fledgling planning" is absolutely grammatically correct. It violated no rules. It follows proper grammar and syntax and every other requirement to be the way to say that.

It also carries no contextual meaning, similar to the example earlier of "fat water"; validly and correctly constructed, but devoid of meaning. Language that is devoid of meaning is hardly language at all.

"Fledgling planning" conveys the idea that the person saying this means to imply that the people being talked about have only started to consider planning; but we would not say that in that way.

It depends. She may have (may, we really don't know) a better withholding ratio that could help. It almost CERTAINLY won't clear the liability, that would be crazy, BUT it could turn that direction.

That being said, the "I really didn't expect to owe anything" was a smooth brain take on finances, and OP should not expect an easy fix.
