Sometimes a story comes along that is so absurd it seems unbelievable. This is one of those stories.

Jennifer Connell is suing her now 12-year nephew, Sean Tarala of Westport, for an incident that happened when he was 8 years old. Let that sink in. An aunt is suing her nephew. Her 12-year-old nephew. For something he did when he was 8. What egregious offense did Sean commit? He loved his “Auntie Jen” too much.

Connell says that she went to Sean’s 8th birthday party and when she arrived Sean greeted her in an overzealous and unsafe manner which resulted in a wrist injury. See, Sean was on his brand new bike when Auntie Jen arrived but when he spotted her he jumped off the bike and sprinted towards her screaming “Auntie Jen, Auntie Jen.” Let’s allow Jen to describe the rest.

“All of a sudden he was there in the air, I had to catch him and we tumbled onto the ground,” Connell testified of her encounter with the 50-pound boy. “I remember him shouting, ‘Auntie Jen I love you,’ and there he was flying at me.”

Connell claims she broke her wrist in the ensuing fall and claims Sean’s actions were unreasonable and he should be held responsible. To the tune of $127k. This “adult” wants a a six-member Superior Court jury to find a then 8-year-old boy responsible for her inability to keep her balance and for having the audacity to have feelings of love towards his monster of an aunt.

With Halloween around the corner I want you to cower to the new face of evil.




Let me add that Sean’s mother died last year. This may not seem like a factor that has any bearing on this story but I am going to speculate that there might be money that wasn’t previously available that Auntie Jen is trying to get her hands on.

To be fair to Auntie Jen let me detail her side of the story. She claims that the injury caused her undue hardship. In her words…

“I live in Manhattan in a third-floor walk-up so it has been very difficult,” she said. “And we all know how crowded it is in Manhattan.”

And:

“I was at a party recently, and it was difficult to hold my hors d’oeuvre plate,” she said.

And as stated in the lawsuit:

“The injuries, losses and harms to the plaintiff were caused by the negligence and carelessness of the minor defendant in that a reasonable eight years old under those circumstances would know or should have known that a forceful greeting such as the one delivered by the defendant to the plaintiff could cause the harms and losses suffered by the plaintiff,” the lawsuit claims.

Does your jaw hurt from hitting the floor? It is an indictment of our legal system that this silly case has gotten this far. Hopefully that panel tells Auntie Jen to get bent and deal with being a miserable almost human being.

She needs her other wrist and both ankles breaking

She is seeking $127,000 in damages from the boy, whose mother died last year. Westport News also reported that the 12-year-old appeared confused as he sat in the courtroom with his father.

I would sentence her for wasting my time if I were the Judge.

I hope Auntie Jen falls down the stairs at her third-floor walk-up and breaks a lot more than a wrist. It's the least she deserves. Gold digging bitch.

If that twat is living in a third-floor Manhattan walk-up, then she doesn't need another $127K.

Again, this is why I need Bruce Wayne money: so I can cripple idiots like this and get away with it.

that is all!

Guess she's having trouble "double clicking" the mouse

I can't believe what the hell this world is coming to

Good news is, she is getting Shit. Glad someone had good sense not to give her anything

This seems to be her profile:

Odd that someone in HR in a company that represents other major companies would try to pull a stunt like this. Bad PR for both the company and clients, Think Adria Richards and that shitstorm she created and wound up getting her fired. If this is the right profile and her company is currently repping Scholastic Inc. , that might be bad news for a company that's focused on school age children's media products. Something else is up here, why would someone that probably makes over 150k a year take a chance on losing her job or harming client's and her firm's reputation by association? Maybe it's the wrong profile, nether the less, any HR professional would probably terminate anyone that sullied the company's reputation. I wouldn't doubt that auntie is going to have an interesting discussion with upper management after all the bad worldwide press that erupted this morning.

I take it she is unaware of the recent cases of "Psychotic Nephew Syndrome" making the rounds. Someone needs to tip little nef-phew Sean onto it!
