Suing Sprint; Could I?

[Light,Knight]

Well, I couple days ago my mom walked in on me at 6 in the morning and caught me talking to this girl. She freaked out like she always does and called sprint trying to find out more information. She asked them what I said in my text messages and the girl told her.

Now, I heard that there was a law on that and you can only do this if you had a court order. My mom had no court order and the sprint operator said "I can get in trouble for telling you this", and she still told her.

I'm mad, thats crap, and I know for a fact thats how she found out what I said because I heard the operator myself saying so. What can I do to sprint for doing this? Anything? Because whoever rat'ed me out WILL die.

Please Help.

You can't afford a lawyer.

Therefore you probably shouldn't.

[Light,Knight]

Not that I will im just saying could I? And dont you think that what that girl did is down right ridiculous?

[poguemahon]

You could try. But, all that would happen is you'd have a tiff with mommy because she won't advance your allowance for the legal fees.

PROTIP; sexing through the phone is no advisable. the government is listening in, ya know.

But your phone company shouldn't be, game-bot.

Well wait, do you pay for your own phone? Or do your parents pay for it?

Well, I think if your mom purchased your plan, its up 2 her what information or messages are transmitted through it, also, she has complete jurisdiction over you anyway because your under 18. Sorry guy, next time keep it face to face homie.

[theryman]

The Dino is right- if she pays for it, she is able to see what goes on in it. If you pay for it, then she still probably has the contract under her name seeing as how you are not old enough to sign a contract, and therefore she can see what goes on in it.

Now, if you have a pay as you go plan, where you buy minutes and texts from the grocery store on little prepaid cards, then it is more interesting. BUT she still is probably allowed to see what goes on in it cause you are 13.

Long story short, isn't there a mall or a pool where you can show each other the goods?

sexing through texts

sexing through phone is probably not as traceable.

The problem doesn't lie in Sprint (well, it does a bit), it lies in your mum.

Well sadly the phone is under our family plan. She may be my mom but she still doesnt have the right under law. If it was okay then why did the sprint operator say that she could get in trouble. Well I guess ima about to just get my own plan.

Any more suggestions for me?

Yes, yes she does, and did you hear the operator say that?

[Light,Knight]

Yeah, I heard it, thats why im pissed. If its something to get me in trouble anybody with rat me out.

The operator can get into trouble because she apparently also divulged texts that came from this girl. Chances are, however, this girl's parents would just say "to hell, our daughter was textsexing some 13 year old?" and totally miss the issue, meaning no one's around to sue anymore.

But no, you can't sue sprint. I'm pretty sure you have to be admitted to the bar to sue someone. Meaning the best you can do is hire a lawyer who will do the suing for you. Seeing how you probably don't have enough money for that (and I'm sure your age is sort of an issue as well) and add to it that any sane judge would dismiss this, you're better off just talking to your mother about it like a mature human being.

Or, you know, don't talk to girls at 6 in the morning in a fashion that would make your mother suspicious. You're going to have to be a bit more on your toes if you plan on managing puberty.

It depends on what you and the girl you were talking with were talking about. If it was a everyday chat, your fine. If you were talking bout sticking it in her pooper, the you should be woried.

[Light,Knight]

At the time we were wern't doing anything dirty.

[Catalysm]

What's the point?

Just talk to your mom about how you have a right to talk to girls.

[Light,Knight]

Well thanks for giving that little advice. It was much helpfull. Locked.
