Maybe some people aren't very resourceful. I would get him out of the house, and wouldn't need a judge.

After the age of 18 or the graduation of college, a parents legal obligation to their child is over. As parents we usually support our children to achieve their goals. Helping someone is normal but someone expecting someone to do everything for them with no effort on their part is just wrong, on many levels.

This man is delusional is his thinking the his parents and the world owes him something. To refuse to work on Saturday's is inexcusable and was fired.

He needs to get up off it and get on with his life.

I assume we will all be paying for him soon. I had a friend that had the same issue, with two kids in their 20's. Time to downsize, they sold the house and moved and the kids were shocked, even though they had been told that was going to happen.

One TV show reported today that the reason he didn't want to get a job is that the Judge would not order a court appointed attorney to provide legal aid in obtaining custody of a biological child. If he gets a job, he had to provide his own attorney. So we are paying for him.

Second, once he had established residency in his parents home, there may be some kind of implied legal relationship for which his parents would need go through eviction proceedings. While this may be slightly different in Florida, I had to do this for some con artists who convinced my sister (developmentally disabled) to allow them to move in with her. I filed papers and paid for a Sheriff's officer to serve the notice of eviction. Fortunately when he went to serve it, the officer observed stolen property and was able to provide them with a different accommodation in the county jail ...thus it shortened my legal action against them.

For us looking in from the outside, it appears so simple, but truly is not. Bless them for taking these very painful & public steps to help their son grow up.

Wise words, KS.

I feel sorry for the parents.

That is a nice statement. These specific individual parents in this matter wherever it happens to be. They did need to do something.

Thank You. I like it when people look at the actual facts in each case. That shows wisdom and compassion.

You said a mouthful! Always easy to make bold statements about how to handle a situation when one doesn't know all the facts and isn't personally involved. I have known childless couples who had all the answers regarding child raising - then had children who completely upended all their certainty. Sound as though this couple did the right thing, but that does not extrapolate to every situation where a young adult lives with parents.

A pizza company offered him a job. Pretty clever---lot's of free advertising.

I hope his parents have concealed carry permits and make use of them. This guy seems like one unstable wingnut.

That is thinking out-of-the-box.

Kimmel did a comedy segment on this last night -- they asked random pedestrians if they still lived with their parents and had the audience guess the answer.

I guess my mind just doesn't work like this. I just can't imagine hoping someone is prepared to kill their son.

It can be very hard and take many months to have someone removed,(legally) in some "enlightened" jurisdictions
