Read the article. He doesn’t have a lawyer. He thinks his parents should support him for life as he didn’t give his consent to be born. ( I think a lot of children would support that.)

Both his parents are lawyers and his mother says she will except responsibility if he can explain how he could could have given his consent. He thinks a judge will throw out his case.

I think a few children could sue their parents for behaving irresponsibly by getting presgnany!

Isn't this a bit like Picasso's straight pencil line? Whether he means it or not he's certainly highlighting the stupidity of many law suites.

Is this the end of the human race????!!!!

I bet his parents are proud!

His parents are both lawyers and he hasn't found a lawyer prepared to take his case...presumably he can't persuade either parent to take it on ?

I have almost thrown the newspaper across the room several times this week - the other irritation being the suggestion that Mary Poppins was racist because of soot on faces. Don't you just despair at times at the stupidity and the unreasonable behaviour of people - or perhaps the craven desire for any publicity, however ultimately demeaning - and also the willingness of the media to give space and airtime to such rubbish?

His parents should counter sue, claiming that they thought their baby would grow up and be an adult one day.

He is doing it for all the publicity he is getting. Having read a number of articles about him, he is a fully signed up member of the awkward squad.

Amazed that he has managed to find a lawyer to support him. Or is he doing this without legal representation?

What a wally... (with apologies to any Walters who may be reading this)

Scratches head.... confused

How did he think he would be able to give consent? If it’s not a wind up it is truly stupid

Not sure that this will be a goer?!!!!!!!!!!!!

A man is suing his parents for giving birth to him without consent. confused

This may just be the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard (and I've heard a lot of ridiculous things in my time wink)
