Yeah I'm not sure. I only heard that term recently and it shocked me that it was a thing. I immediately ran to see if it was a thing in CO.
There's some lawsuit going on in PA where a guy who works a pretty normal income job, I think maybe he was a restaurant owner or manager. Anyway, IIRC his entire family except mother lives in Italy or somewhere overseas. He's the only one in the USA. He's being sued by her nursing home for $93k in back rent. IIRC he's lost every appeal. He had not a single thing to do with her nursing home contracts. He definitely made under 100k, I think 40-60k. I don't see it in this article and I'm too tired to dig around.

- hiatus 3y ago> There's some lawsuit going on in PA Last I read, the superior court of PA denied hearing his case and so the lower court ruling holding him responsible held.
- suckitsam 3y agoI'm pretty sure PA's entire legal system exists to fund institutions.
- wing-_-nuts 3y agoI gotta be honest, that's pretty oppressive. Mom might have a right to not be homeless but IMHO has no right to enroll herself in a home in Italy and saddle her child with debt. Mom should have been repatriated back to the states if possible, and if not, the nursing home should have taken it out of her estate. Otherwise what's to stop someone from enrolling in a luxurious assisted living and sacking an estranged child with debt. Seems wrong to me.
