The family, according to CNN, remains tight knit: Connell said that she had helped the boy shop for a Halloween costume in the past few weeks.

That's what I thought too but it appears to be against the homeowner's insurance policy; not against the nephew. Human species??! Talk about proper 'aunt behavior' in a primate troop here.

IMHO: an unfortunate insurance/medical SNAFU and someone's trying to $ell newspaper$. $pin $ell$

Anyways, I would like to express my thoughts on this "aunt", but it would break certain rules here so I rather not.

That's because your anti-anything related to America bias keeps you from understanding what actually happened. Don't you Germans understand the difference between a criminal and a CIVIL suit?

No we don't -> no freedom.

Do you understand what tongue in cheek means? Or a certain smiley I used?
Don't take yourself too serious August...

I can't understand a civil suit needed so you can get treatment.
I get injured, I go to the doctor, he signs a paper and the insurance company I feed forks out money for my treatment.
No people that have nothing to do with medicine involved.

"Bureaucracy is expanding, to meet the needs of the expanding bureaucracy."

Insurance companies have a tendency to compound bureaucracy.
I've worked as a used car warranty claim handler. The orders were to outsource technical claim investigations, which were comprised of a technical report on the analysis of damaged mechanical parts, and an expert opinion on what caused the damage to the mechanical parts involved (CSI style work). This was to be done on every claim above a certain Estimate value threshold. Of course this would add up to the costs.
More often than not, the company paid what was being claimed. Plus the investigative technical report.
At the end of the year, instead of reducing costs, we actually increased them.
But hey, bureaucracy is like a holly cow. Cannot be touched, for reasons we all know too well.

Yikes! A system that requires a family member to sue another family member in order to get medical coverage?

I wonder who will be trying to explain that to the 12 year old.

Actually when they appeared together on that TV interview the other day the kid seemed ok with it.

I haven't enjoyed reading a post this much in ages; what a wonderful, heartwarming story

The best part of this is that the judge took 25 MINUTES!
Serves that lady right, suing her nephew. All he did was try to be nice.
