he would simply disappear... the mafia bill would be cheaper than supporting his fat ass

An Italian court has ordered a middle-aged father to keep supporting his 28-year-old son through university, after he turned to the law to try and force his offspring to get a job.
The case underlines the country's problem with "bamboccioni" - spoilt "big babies" who refuse to leave home and instead sponge off their parents.
The father had gone to court to argue that he should no longer be obliged to support his son, challenging one of the conditions of his divorce settlement, which had ruled that he must pay for the young man’s tertiary education.
The son completed a degree in literature, taking several years longer than expected to finish the course, and has now enrolled on a post-graduate course in experimental cinema in Bologna.
His father, who makes a modest living through writing, argued that his son should get a part-time job and start paying his own way.
“He does not deserve any further financial support, having made no effort to find work to support himself,” he told the court.
But the civil court in Modena, northern Italy, ruled that the cinema course is in keeping with the son's "personal aspirations" and must be paid for by his father

He is forced to support his lazy son only because it was part of his divorce agreement.
I read this earlier on Drudge.
It is weird...and coming here soon I fear.
‘Children’ in America can already stay on their parents employer sponsored health insurance until 28. A full decade after becoming old enough to marry, join the military and vote!
I think the age is 26——but still not acceptable.

It’s 28 in Ohio. I know that. It used to be 26 until they changed it. The insurance laws allow for two years more than the Federal Mandate.
Regardless, by 28 I had been on my own for a decade. I left for college at 18 and never went back. Now I want my parents to pay me back pay.
Wow,28.
I thought 26 was a horror.

No kidding think about it! 28 is closer to 35 than 18. My God children are coddled these days. Western society is dying.
What a sad story. Once upon a time, a guy like that would have been shamed into supporting himself, however meagerly. If only to develop some small sense of pride and self-respect !

Apologies to all for the double post!
ISIS will show that young man what real work is all about.
One could imagine the grandchild now being required to be on your insurance until it's 26.
Greased slopes.
It’s no wonder they need their safe spaces in college.
I was in college at 17 and graduated at 20 with a full time job. I’d be so embarrassed to ask my parents for a dime.
28!!! That’s crazy.
Truthfully, I left home at 16. I started taking care of my Mom when I was 31.
The world has turned upside down.
My Socialist sister’s son, age 26, lives in the family home. He graduated college in December with a double major. He hasn’t been interviewing for jobs as he doesn’t want to do so. His father gives him pocket money. My sister was very upset when he received his letter telling him was no longer covered by his parent’s health insurance. He doesn’t care about health insurance. As long as he isn’t working, he won’t be penalized for not having the insurance. At least he isn’t collecting welfare or unemployment (you have to have had a job to get unemployment, if you aren’t now working). She hasn’t yet asked me where she went wrong......
bump
Obamacare mandated it to 26.. before that many policies did offer this provided the child was a student or something like that, but it wasn’t legally required.
