Jeebus, I need backup plans for Friday nights.

Page 8 & 9 of the court filing (not the article):

Through this time, Q.R. was able to access chaturbate.com on thirty different instances: [...] seven instances on August 30, 2024 [...]

Bruh, make sure to hydrate.

Page 13, absolutely fascinating to me that "prays for judgement" is stated and whether that is at all common:

Plaintiff prays for judgment against Defendants in an amount in excess of $75,000.00 for: a. actual damages resulting from Q.R.’s access to material that is harmful to minors, including but not limited to past medical expenses, future medical expenses, past and future lost services and disability, past and future pain, suffering, and disability [...]

Page 15, looking for more details on alleged "disfigurement":

As a direct and proximate result of Defendants’ negligence, Plaintiff has suffered and will continue in the future to suffer the following damages: a. Pain, suffering, disability, disfigurement, and mental anguish [...]

It goes on to talk about pornography causing a shift in perspective on sex and possibly leading to addiction. Not finding anything specific on the alleged "disfigurement".

I'm left to assume poor Q.R. will have to deal the rest of his life with the friction burns caused by jerkin' it 7+ times on August 30, 2024.

His mom also demanded a jury trial, so Q.R. can rest easy knowing 12 strangers will hear about his friction burns and give it the serious attention due.

It's not a "prayer" in the religious sense.

"Prayer" in a court filing is what the plaintiff asks the court to do to resolve the case.

Ty! TIL. I've probably seen it many times before, but it only jumped out at me this time given the Olathe, KS setting and strong fundie Christian vibes.

This was so hilariously stated - and your comment is quite thought-provoking.

I can't imagine how this poor teenager will think of his mother over time.

Not well, this much is certain.

Bet that kid is counting the days until he's legally an adult and can get away from her.

More likely a direct result of his mom being a fucking psycho.

Surely you cannot sue someone for future injuries where the future injuries are entirely unevidenced. There would have to be some kind of medical assessment that said that this kid is going to suffer ongoing injuries and I can't imagine they have such an assessment.

Maybe the counter argument should be that this kid's mom should attempt to get him on disability payments, and only if he's able to get on that, will they accept liability. There is zero chance of that happening.

Agreed. As a lawyer friend once told me, "you can sue someone for damn near anything. It doesn't mean you'll win".

I imagine the "disability and disfigurement" will get sussed out at some point and either backed up w some sort of evidence, or taked out from the rest of the complaint.
