I think Oher's case is strong. I read the petition earlier (#85). It centers on the conservatorship that the Tuohys established. The conservatorship requires that the Tuohys represent Oher's interests (that's it's purpose) and also make annual accountings of what they have done. Worse, they apparently stipulated that Oher was a "mental defect" in order to get the conservatorship. They never filed an accounting and meanwhile they made all their deals enriching themselves and their children, while excluding the interest of their court-appointed "mentally defective" (by their own account) ward. I think it is a fact that the book, movie deals and multi-million dollar "non profit" businesses trade on Oher's NIL while cutting him out of all profits. But it was their legal duty and their own doing that they were responsible for protecting the interests of their ward.
Also funny that a "mental defective" made the Dean's List at Ole Miss. The conservatorship was the means by which the booster Tuohys converted all of their money, gifts, and hustling from huge recruiting violations into a "heart warming story." And then the heart warming story turned out to be yet another hustle.
The premise of the businesses is that Leigh Anne Tuohy is the emblem and champion of adoptions. But they never adopted him. Instead, she fleeced her ward after they made themselves explicitly legally responsible for protecting his interests. Btw, he was over 18 when he signed with Ole Miss. Except for the conservatorship, he could have done what he wanted. And it is not true that a person 18 years or older cannot be adopted.
