Parents embezzled money - ethical question
Posted on 1/22/18 at 11:29 am

Maybe the liberals here can help me with this conundrum. Lets say my parents embezzled a lot of money from a non-profit organization. They took that money and built a very nice house that I grew up in. Once caught, the property was seized.
We were all just dreaming of a better life. How is it fair that I am kicked out of this house? I didn't do anything wrong as a child of parents who broke the law? I should be able to keep the house and the money they stole for my education right?

Nope. You should go to a homeless shelter or jail.

to make the analogy more accurate, you would go to jail along with your convicted parents.

Poor kids, we will fight our way to let you keep the said house.
This is America and everybody should be treated equally.

Are you trying to relate your hypothetical situation to a wife keeping her ‘lifestyle’ the same after a divorce?

Who is going to jail?

Sounds like you should go back to Mexico in this case

The parents go to jail and the kids get out of the house.

Under the rules the kids can't stay in the house.
However, in a VERY generous spirit of compromise and compassion, most Republicans would be willing to find the kids an apartment.
This is analogous to permanent residence but no citizenship, no voting.
That's fair.
That's compassionate.
That's a reasonable compromise.
Are democRats capable of a reasonable compromise??

Yes. The statute of limitations has run.
Also, the charity is estopped from taking the house away because they let you live in it all these years.

Wrong.
Your parents would go to jail and you would be asked to vacate the home you have no legal right to occupy. Once you refuse the legal order to vacate the premises, you are trespassing and will be arrested for violating the law.

your legal analysis leaves something to be desired.

Property should be sold and monies returned to non-profit. If that sale does not make up the full amount, you should have your organs sold off and your body used for medical experiments.

The clock starts running once crime is discovered on this felony.

Yes, and you should be allowed to bring your uncle Jed, aunt Sally, and cousin Joe into the neighborhood and allow them to embezzle money and build their own mansions.

Not a good comparison.
1. Entering the country illegally is a misdemeanor. Embezzlement is a felony.
2. The age of culpability in the US is 11 years of age. The vast majority of those who entered the country illegally as children entered well below the age of 11.

This is the craziest part to me.
2. Age of culpability doesn't allow the kids to stay in the house once seized.

Or go live with your family.
As a last resort social services.
