A 30-year-old man was ordered to vacate his parent's Syracuse-area home Tuesday after they sued him because he refused to leave.
After the ruling by State Supreme Court Justice Donald Greenwood, son Michael Rotondo said, "This is outrageous" and said he would appeal the decision.
Rotondo's parents said he wouldn't leave the house despite several notices. Rotondo claimed that, legally, he wasn't given enough notice to leave, maintaining that six months is a more reasonable time frame.
Parents Mark and Christina Rotondo said they began giving him notices as early as February 2, 2018. The parents said they also offered their son $1,100 to help him find a place of his own. Michael Rotondo said he did take the money, but it wasn't enough to live anywhere else.
The judge asked adult protective services to check on the case as he's concerned about what's happening at the home.
According to court filings, Michael Rotondo doesn't contribute to the family's expenses and doesn't help out with the chores.
His parents even say they've offered to help him get started on his own. Rotondo is calling his parent's effort "retaliatory."
With reporters watching in court, Michael Rotondo sparred with Greenwood for 30 minutes, at one point refusing the judge's request to work things out directly to his parents, who were sitting quietly nearby.
When Greenwood called Rotondo up to the bench, the long-haired and bearded son tried to bring the podium with him - noting it held the reporters' microphones.
He then called out for television camera crews to meet him outside the courthouse. There, he answered their questions, telling them he occupies a bedroom in his parents' home, doesn't speak to them and isn't ready to leave home.
Rotondo, who runs a website business, moved back home eight years ago after losing a job.
He said Tuesday that he plans to get some things from home and isn't sure where he will stay.
When I was his age I owned my own home had a monthly mortgage payment. I had a child with another soon to come. I had a responsible job, I had peole reporting to me at work. I had two cars, an IRA and depended on nobody.
Little snowflake probably reports his parents to child protective services and voted Democrat all his life.
This little punk represents all that wrong with America today.
That right there should do the trick.
I got my first job at 18, my first house at 19. It's not hard. You just have to live in the real world, not the virtual world.
What a disgusting POS. Some people are incapable of shame these days. He actually wants media coverage. Maybe there’s a reality show in the works.
It's not he same. Globalism has depressed wages and housing is so expansive most young people are priced out.
“At age twenty I actually took a bank loan to help move out from my parents.”.....
Obviously you had a job or had the means to repay that loan. Sounds more like the subject is just plain lazy.
Not the same as what? Yesteryear? I bought my first house in the Obama years. Anyone can find an affordable house, unless they’re looking in a place like San Francisco or Manhattan.
Ditto that. Additionally for us, Mrs Prov1322 and I had just returned from a short-term ministry trip with our local fellowship to a fourth world nation. Shortly thereafter we were planning our own full-time move to that nation; lived and ministered there for several years.
This was his third and last chance to come home to get sorted out. May seem like a heavy-handed approach, but I'm no longer in a condition to go for a roll in the dirt with a 6'1" 250lb baby huey that said he wanted to beat me down.
You did what any loving, sane parent would do.
I applaud you, sir!
I have no regrets that we never had children.
That's a little dangerous. The cops could try to forfeit the house.
Not if the parents are reporting him!!!
You’re right. Around here a kid would have to get several roommates in order to move out on their own. When I was in my late teens, early 20s, my friends and I all had our own little apartments, some kind of reliable little car, and entry level jobs. We didn’t live like queens, but we made it. We even had a bit of spending money and were able to go out and have fun now and then. Things are SO different now.
Not true. It has happened. If he is in their house, and they know he is using drugs, they could be liable for forfeiture. It’s insane, but possible in today’s America.
This long haired goofus is gonna be on Fox News in a few minutes! ROFL!
Gotta watch and then bedtime. Early day.
Wellll ...Maybe in the next 1/2 hour! LOL!
