Weird But True: 10/04/24

The son of an elderly Florida man says he was shocked to find an $8,500 charge on his dad’s credit card from a matchmaking service — given his pop has dementia and couldn’t go on a date if he wanted to.

His dad’s mental state isn’t always readily apparent, Mooney said. But it would surface fairly quickly during an in-depth conversation, the son said. “He can’t go on a date,” said Mooney, who added that his dad barely recalls signing the contract. “He’s got dementia.”“For the family members, you have to understand that, absent some court order, there’s going to be that freedom to enter into contracts,” Raymond Traendly, a lawyer with TK Law in Altamonte Springs, Fla., told the station.
