This breaks my heart 💙 their is nothing wrong with preparing a young man for life outside the home. Making him pay those type of bills is unfair. She should of made him pay one utility pill not $400 per mouth. That is down right greedy and unfair.
I could tell 30 seconds in the foster ‘mom’ is someone that takes kids in just to cash a check and treats it like a full time job. Insanity. She berated him so much. At the end she was smirking and threatening to kick him out.
As a foster parent she should've prepared him to move out way before he became 18. Being that he wasn't, now she treated him as a tenant/husband. Paying most of the bills and then some. Whatever er was on the judges mind I still don't know. And that lecture on life after 18 was Bogus. 😢
She gets a check PER child! Idk how Arizona pays but if he was paying for ALL of that, where was the money going cause she HAS to be getting at minimum $1500…is she trying to be a stay at home mom living off an 18yr old?!?
Why didn't she get fans. In 100+ degree weather. The defendant should have made those children were safe and in 100+ degrees heat. No fans. No air conditioner. That is endangering the lives of the other children . Surely if she is getting government assistance. She should qualify for assistance to make sure those children are safe.
I thought the same thing about fans. Plus if she could not afford foster children, why do it. Especially special needs. I heard Arizona was hot. I hope he can afford to move out one day. ❤
If she had 4 Foster children she got paid . Why did she keep him in her home.if he was terrible. He has been in her care since age 4 years. He sounds like he has asthma as well as severe anxiety.
I think judge lake misunderstood what he was asking for, and I think if he wasn’t so young & so angry he could’ve better prepared for court to state the case in an better way of what he was asking her for. But as soon as she started those crocodile tears and tearing him down in that court room idk why the judge didn’t see thru her! And at the end how she switched up when she had gotten her way, bc she knew what she done did to this young man, she took all his money & left him without any money to go get another place! Coming to court was probably his last resort & this was sad. I wish she would’ve understood what he was asking for to help him so she could rule in his favor but foster mom kept jumping in working him up & u could tell he was losing his train of thought each time she interrupted him. Makes me 😡 u know she is getting money for those foster kids & she’s leaning on this young man to keep her a float! Idk why judge lake just let her sit here & condone her actions!
Sorry I disagree with Judge Lake on the first case. That foster mom claimed she couldn't fix the air because she had to fix a van. but that boy said HE paid for the van, the utilities AND $700 rent!!!!!!! That woman is collecting GOOD money fostering those other 3 children and even extra for the disabled child!!!!!!!!!! Cant just fall for fake tears and a sob story talking about she couldnt have kids.... She didn't adopt those kids did she???? You PAY to adopt, you GET paid to foster
That's not what he said. He helped her buy groceries ONE time and he even said it was once. He pays her $400 in rent. He said the new apartment would cost $700. The mother fixed the van to transport the special needs child to and from appointments. He clearly works in the heat and said that. He worked himself up because he was already hot. had he sat down and drunk some cold water he could have cooled down some. He worked himself up and made himself even hotter. It is not her fault that he could get what he wanted. He could have got a fan until the air conditioner was fixed. He was being selfish. I am going to agree to disagree with you on this one. And I respect your opinion though.
When it's 90 degrees in AZ it feels like 110 -- "a cash cow" is what he called his foster mother. What an ungrateful brat. She fostered him for 14 years and this is how he thanks her. Sad. 😢
As a 33 year old black South African I cannot fathom the level of entitlement of the boy in the first case. If you drop out of school at home you lose the right to ask for ANYTHING let alone b* about the aircon. Are you freaken kidding me? UNGRATEFUL!!
My heart breaks for this young man (1st case) because most of his paycheck goes to his foster mother. My niece lives with me. She's in her early 30s -- rents in Chicago are VERY HIGH. She used to pay $1,800 rent. She pays me $400 per month which includes all utilities, free food and Wi-Fi. She's thankful, grateful and appreciates everything I do for her. I put her on my car insurance. She uses my 2024 vehicle whenever she needs to run errands. I allow her to take my vehicle to her job every Saturday. If I have plans for a given Saturday, I drive her to work. The young 18 year old needs to move out on his own, get a roommate, split the security deposit 50/50, rent and utilities.
This really makes foster parents look real bad the kids been there since he was 4 years old and he's been paying his way the whole time you talking about greedy it's too bad you didn't have your own children thank God they probably would have been paying rent also 😖😡😡😡😡 right after birth
Awesome mother does not have a connection with her son she is using him yes and the others too although he spoke to her very ugly and shouldn’t have he’s not lying if he is already giving you $400 a month plus paying utilities how much more do you want
She called the first case so wrong. That woman was making bank on those kids, and when he started working, she was taking his check disguised as making him pay bills
I will never understand how parents can talk like that with their own kids. Teach how to get ready to be out on 18 is a good thing but talking like they are disposable and need to leave the house just because they are 18 is absurd to me! I learned to be independent when I was still a little girl but I lived with my mother, shared expenses, and even covered some home renovation until very adult age. In my culture, we dont leave our parents for anything, mostly to study or get married but we are more than welcome to stay if the house or land is big enough or needed, or are just too attached. We have love between kids and parents that stays forever. Thank God I am not from USA! Sad that this is my second time of disappointment with the judge but is ok, we do mistakes. She is better with family issues.
What is wrong with JUDGE. SHE IS BECOMING WORSE THAN JUDGE JUDY. THIS IS A PAID TV PROGRAM WHY ARE THESE JUDGES ACTING LIKE THIS IS FREE TV AND THEY ARE DOING THESE SHOWS PRO BONO.
I felt for the mom until she started speaking condescending about him and speaking about his mom and her drug problem. That was just uncalled for... No wonder the kid hates her.
He’s 18. He should be out n living on his own. Instead of moaning about the lady that looked after him since he was 4 years old. He’s ungrateful.. He’s not Happy with the living situation….Just MOVE. End of discussion. MOVE….
The judge was wrong about this young man having to pay for his living expenses. Judge Luaren Lake always sides with females over males most of the time, and that's biased. 😮 The foster mom was a bully and was very negative regarding this young man's mother's past. She took advantage of a child who needed room and board. A vehicle is not more important than air conditioning, especially if he is paying for services that are not being rendered. The police need to prosecute her for negligence and for not reporting an unfit home to child services immediately.
But the moment she started charging him rent and utilities, it turned into a somewhat tenant/landlord relationship and she should have fixed the AC Unit.
He’s lucky she’s allowing him to stay. She could get another foster kid who needs a home and he can go out to the real world. He’s trying to take advantage of her kindness. Grow up.
Naw SHE is using HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She stopped getting a check when he turned 18. She Took his cash out that he should have gotten when he aged out. That would have set him up in an apartment. And is taking the majority of his paycheck so he can NEVER save and move
I pray the best for this young man
I just love Judge Lauren Lake, I could watch her show all day
I'd get out of that house IMMEDIATELY. If u live @ a shelter u can still work.
Hope that young man is n a better place 2day...

I don't like the foster mom!! Why bring up his mom being on drugs? I hope he finds Jesus so he can truly have peace.
the foster mother is awful and greedy. This was a straight landlord / tenant case and the judge played it off as family. Urgh
Its not that its free, the government is paying you to take care of those children. Lol
He is 18, so she is no longer recovering money for him. Instead of just putting him out, she was trying to teach him some responsibility.
As a foster parent she should've prepared him to move out way before he became 18. Being that he wasn't, now she treated him as a tenant/husband. Paying most of the bills and then some. Whatever er was on the judges mind I still don't know. And that lecture on life after 18 was Bogus. 😢

Judge lauren lake always right
Yea this is sad it was obvious the foster mom was not good to him & she put on an act for sympathy.
He is 18 years old!!!! You want him to pay??!! Shame on her he should focus on his school!!!
He decided to drop out of school.
Soon as she get home she's going to torment him
That young man needs to MOVE OUT ASAP before his mom gets HURT
I disagree with the first judgement , with the second one, I agree with the judge

I disagree with judge this time
Foster mom had some fancy nails looks like she has $ to do that but no AC ?
I live in AZ you need air
Yes I agree the judge got this one wrong. And he didn’t need to be chastised.
@@robinbigelow4765ooo u’re so perceptive on the nails thing. U’re so right!!
Exactly she gets paid pretty good so what is she doing with that money
In the foster care system many people do use it for the money…… I’ve seen it for myself

Are these cases real or are the plaintiffs and defendants actors ?
Awesome mother does not have a connection with her son she is using him yes and the others too although he spoke to her very ugly and shouldn’t have he’s not lying if he is already giving you $400 a month plus paying utilities how much more do you want
This case should be with judge Milian
What's up with foster parents? Are they all crazy?
Her home not appropriate for children or let's alone a disabled child, she is greedy and i hope they don't allow her to do this any more!
She called the first case so wrong. That woman was making bank on those kids, and when he started working, she was taking his check disguised as making him pay bills
He needs to SAVE UP his pennies and move out. If he can't afford an Apt., he should get a roommate.
1st case- Entitlement 101
I would not take another penny from him. Take your checks and get out. $800. a month is still a good deal.
She has another side to her

How dare he! His real parents don't care whether he's hot or cold. Ungrateful
But the moment she started charging him rent and utilities, it turned into a somewhat tenant/landlord relationship and she should have fixed the AC Unit.
SOME foster parents take them in and only want the money that comes with him🤨
Don’t you stop getting foster money when the kids turn 18? How could she e using him for the money?
@@christinecarter9623didn’t you hear him say he pays rent? She don’t love them she love the money
@@christinecarter9623no

work 2 jobs then

She's using him for money 🤨she seems like that's her M O she's not doing it out of love🤨
Naw SHE is using HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She stopped getting a check when he turned 18. She Took his cash out that he should have gotten when he aged out. That would have set him up in an apartment. And is taking the majority of his paycheck so he can NEVER save and move
If he feels used then get out. He's lucky most foster parents put the kids out as soon as they turn 18. If you don't like where you live, leave!

@@MsSredding and foster kids are given a STIPEND to move out with. SHE TOOK IT!!!! SO how shall he move????? She is using kids as cash cows period!
Ppl talk money for adoption but u really not making much money especially with special need kids.. u got more money going out then coming in.
1st case, in my opinion, can't have kids because it looks like this one used all to money to get transformed into a "woman". Hahaha.
