An 18-year-old senior in New Jersey is now suing her parents for immediate financial support and trying to force them to pay for her college education. Rachel Canning, the daughter of a retired Lincoln Park police chief, is living with the family of her best friend. The teen had it declared in court that she is nonemancipated and dependent on her parents financially.

Tagline, thanks to my Father...
“Rachel has been living with the family of her best friend Jaime Inglesino. His father is attorney and former Morris County Freeholder John Inglesino, who is funding...” (that’s enough)
We can only hope this Inglesino gets stuck with the parents’ legal bills.
That sums it up. :^)
"Nobody owes you a living".... My father said that to me when I was 14. At the time, I knew that if I were to take off on my own and be apprehended, he is the one who would be responsible for me. I didn't understand what he was getting at. After more than 35 years of reflection, I realized it was just his lazy way of saying he was frustrated having me as a burden, and it was also simply a cliche... that he didn't realize whatTF he was saying.
So... what ARE you trying to say?

“This boy” is a girl.
Interesting. Where is that back story? Is it in the Breitbart piece?
“college is not a necessity.”
So true. My dad was a poor country preacher, and we couldn’t afford to go to college. When I retired, I was pulling in just under $100K/yr. My sister, too. My brother went to a trade school and is a “star” in his chosen field. What we had going for us was a strong work ethic, some smarts, and no sense of entitlement.
My friend (also no college) and I would joke how many times we were called upon to clean up the messes created by the highly educated employees in the office.
Just by looking at a picture of this girl who’s suing her parents you cana tell she has a glaring aura of a little snot. I expect there’s more than a 50/50 chance her parents created the monster through over indulgence.
But, but, but... _resident zero promised all the young adults that they could be supported (on insurance) until 26!! He sent the message that you don’t have to grow up and be responsible!
She’s just following dear leader’s path, that’s all!
That was one of the strangest comments I have ever seen on Freerepublic.
The teen had it declared in court that she is nonemancipated and dependent on her parents financially.
I think the teen made it very clear publicly she wanted nothing to do with her parents or their money.
Even then what gives an 18 year old the right to her parents money even with out the relationship problems she has with her parents? How many other kids out there are not getting support for collage from parents and must pay their own way? That not fair also? Is there some type of scale in your mind that when parents reach some level of income they have no choice but to pay for collage for their children, regardless of how they act? One more regulation and lost freedom?
What is keeping her from getting a job to pay for her collage like so many others have done who are without money but still have loving relationships with their parents?
What in the world does any of this have to do with your last statement??? Unless he thinks women should be kept barefoot and pregnant. Just strange.
But sadly, this is the way this new entitlement generation works as general rule.
I'm hearing stories like this more and more everyday. It usually doesn't go to court, so parents are just suffering silently at times believing that it's just them who are experiencing the gross disrespect...when in fact, it appears to be a trend.
Did YOU read it?
"In this economy life sure isn’t easy for 18 year olds even with lots of brains with no home and no car to boot."
And whose fault is that? The brat LEFT home because she refused to follow the rules of the house, which were far from draconian. Again, did you read that part?
""I don’t think the parents are the angels in the least"
Since when are parents required to be "angels?" How does that benefit a child?
No one won.
I think I read about them being liberal in the Fox News piece, not sure, read so many stories about this family..but the father says repeatedly that he’s a liberal and that is how he was raised and how he raised his children
Well, that isn't an answer to any of my questions. But if true, whose fault is it? It's the fault of the girl who dragged her parents into court, isn't it?
From another thread:
"When Judge Peter Bogaard read an expletive-laden and vicious answerphone message left by Rachel Canning, from Lincoln Park, New Jersey, to her mother, Elizabeth, in which the girl said: 'I wanna s*** all over your face', he said: 'Have you ever in your experience seen such gross disrespect for a parent? I don’t see it in my house.’ "

What could the parents have done? Should they have locked her in a closet to prevent her leaving the house? Ignored the court summons? Or maybe they should have placated their little darling, telling her she could have whatever she wanted and would never have to do a chore?
Read the above snippet again. The girl told her mother she wanted to s*** all over her face.
Seriously?
What is she entitled to, and why? What are her obligations to her parents?
Great!Another family bites the dust.Very sad.
My dad used to warn us kids when we got a little close to the line, "She may be your mother but she was my wife first."
I would be apologizing to my mother from the floor if I had used language like that to her.
The family is saddened but did not bite the dust.
Same here.
When my sons were teens and mouthed off at their mom, I stopped it cold by saying “ No one talks to MY wife that way!”.
Only had to say it one time to each.
