This is awesome! I recently got my piano back from a cousin who had had it for a number of years. At 52, I haven’t taken lessons in over 40 years, and while can play music I already know, I am really rusty learning new music and I want to improve my overall playing in general. I was going to try and find a local teacher but will definitely check these out instead. Thanks!

what? tech and software firms are currently going through their largest wave of layoffs since any of them were founded. there's a real estate bubble that puts 2008 to shame and it looks like it's about to burst. u.s. life expectancy is decreasing for the first time since the country was founded.

when child malnutrition rates go up, child hunger goes up, and public education continues to fall behind standards, all in a world that everyone (regardless of political affiliation) agrees is the most socially and financially tense it's been in decades, kids are going to make horrible decisions. yes criminals are still criminals but calling the world we're in 'cute' is an extremely disingenuous way to sweep systemic problems under the rug

Get an attorney. Especially based off of your OP.

Presenting a sexual assault claim in civil court (small claims or otherwise) would be for monetary damages. Presenting one in family court would be for a protective/restraining order or during a divorce/custody/visitation case.

All wildly different, all wildly complicated for a layperson seeking advice on reddit.

Judges in CT are very accommodating to self-represented litigants, but they will not "help" you.

TLDR: Get an attorney

You changed the scenario from a petty misdemeanor to a violent felony. If someone is breaking and entering your home, an entire different set of laws apply. Protect your property by not leaving valuables in your car and locking your doors. Also, when someone joyrides in your car, you’re not going to be held liable for any damages unless you were abhorrently negligent
