Happy to address the question, but it's not clear to me exactly what the question is. In the example I provided the lower court and court above it shared jurisdiction over the case by law. Generally, upper courts for case load reasons

The assumption is that the scammers parents would react in a way that would make a meaningful difference and the very fact that the scammer is a scammer to me calls this into question. Best way to express your opinion about something with s

Really wish the definition of democracy included by default the right to vote that you object strongly enough to significant options not to vote for any of them.
