Sedrick Johnson (You have got to be kidding me)

Unless the mother sent in a LOI to A&M without Sedrick's approval, I've got a bad feeling about this. Does he want to be here or not?

I realize the parents are divorced... but unless his parental rights have been revoked he is still a guardian.

would it though? Usually documents like that must be signed by a parent or guardian. Seems his dad would fit that criteria..

I am thinking back to when I went to college, other than driving me to my visits, I don't think my parents ever said anything about where I would go.

We don't know the situation. If he doesn't have custody, one would think he can't sign for him.

I believe the Custodial parent has to sign. In this case, his mom was the custodial parent.

Ok, I dont come from a divorced family so I dont know. If a kid's parents get divorced and they have shared custody then who is the legal gaurdian? I'm assuming if only one parent has custody they are the legal. Will a lawyer step in and help me out?

Either way Sed needs to get away from big Momma and spread his wings.

All speculation from the Aggie Boards and our boards point to his mother pulling this all out... no actual info though.

Not a lawyer, but in that situation myself. There is legal custody, and then there is physical custody. I have shared legal and physical custody of my son. They are two separate items, and I suppose it might be common to have shared physical custody, while having one parent as the sole legal guardian.

I can't help but laugh at the posts from the Aggies from signing day claiming that Sedrick "won't qualify for ISU"....newsflash: A&M is harder to get into than ISU. If he wouldn't qualify here, I don't see him qualifying there unless some major strings are pulled.

This whole situation is re-*******-tarded.

That may be true, but if there really is a LOI to A&M, obviously Sedrick must have signed it.

The point is if he wants to stay with ISU, I hope we get lawyers involved and fight tooth and nail to keep him. If not, let him go. The sooner the better, put it behind us.
