A North Carolina attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. Yes, it's illegal virtually anywhere in the U.S. as well as being actionable under civil law. Good luck
The child is 9. The employee was taking videos of the court for marketing purposes. This video was not used on the company account but was posted on a personal Instagram account that is used for personal gain.

This question is posted in the employment law section of this site. This is not an employment law question. It is, instead, an intellectual property/usurpation of name and likeness claim. The parents need to find an attorney who works in that field.
Good luck to you.
I have a child of 7 with my partner. I have not been contacted by any officials for 11 days now. They have not as much as called me.

These types of allegations are very serious and can have life altering consequences. If you are being accused of this, I highly recommend reaching out to an Arizona criminal defense attorney to discuss your options right away. Most of us on here (myself included) will discuss your case with you... View More
They conducted a pat down and made him remove his shoes. There were other kids in the bathroom, however, they were told to leave. No drugs have ever been found on my son. Can a school repeatedly search the same child If no evidence of wrong doing has been found?
I sent a small amount of money to this person for explicit content. They claimed in their bio that they were 18. I am now being blackmailed. I am 18/19. No pictures or videos were exchanged.

This sounds like a scam. Do not send any money. Block them from your phone and do not respond to texts and e-mails. There have numerous reports of this scam.
Even though my girlfriend (the mother) wanted me to, the cop said parents only. Is this true?

As you have learned , that is exactly right. As a boyfriend you are legally not a family member and have no legitimate authority to request any accommodation with respect of another person’s child.

You really need to speak with a Louisiana attorney who handles custody matters. There's a lot of additional information the lawyer would need to know to answer the question, such as where the child was born and when the petition was filed.
Bringing up something over a year ago that he had done but I made him give it back to the man of the store and nothing else was said what do I do or what's going to happen they are that he is an alleged delinquent.

Best advice is to not share specific facts on this public forum. Next I would call or consult a criminal defense attorney who handles juvenile cases to discuss your fact pattern in order to get an idea what you’re facing and what a likely outcome will be based on all of the circumstances. Best of... View More
First time ever going through this situation. I need an Louisiana Lawyer
answered on Oct 6, 2022
Use the Find a Lawyer tab and search for either a criminal defense lawyer and/or possibly a family law lawyer (depending on the circumstances of the protective order) in the area where your son is located. Call a few lawyers and then hire the one with whom you are most comfortable. Good luck.

If you are not in any way related to these children, and sometimes even if you are related, a parent absolutely has the right to prevent you from communicating with their children. Absent certain circumstances, a PARENT of a child(ren) has a more superior right to their child(ren) than ANYONE else.... View More

This stuff has become super subjective. I’ve seen folks charged with child endangerment in some really questionable circumstances.

If he never went to court to establish parental rights, he doesn't have any. If you want to be sure, or preempt his attempt to establish such rights, you file a private custody action in juvenile court seeking to terminate his rights.
Is there anything I could file to provide arguments

A signed release is always your best option. Depending on your location, you could be dealing with privacy laws AND publicity laws, and a failure to obtain a signed release could expose you to serious civil liability.

You file in the Circuit Court for the county (or City of Baltimore) where you and the child currently resides.

He moved out to care for his pregnant girlfriend and now they have a baby. Can I still be in trouble?

Yes, the law is concerned with the state of affairs on the day the offense allegedly took place, not what has changed since.
