Lack of Awareness (Child Suing Parents)
« on: March 04, 2014, 08:15:14 AM »
http://nypost.com/2014/03/03/teen-sues-parents-after-being-kicked-out-wants-money/

A child is either kicked or moves out two (it's in dispute) two days before her 18th birthday. She wants her parents to pay for her private schooling, still.

The article talks about how bewildered the father is, and quotes him:

Quote
Canning, the former police chief of Lincoln Park and now Mount Olive town administrator, admitted he and his wife butted heads with Rachel over typical parent-kid issues.

She didn’t adhere to assigned household chores, disrespected other family members and refused to observe a midnight curfew, according to the dad.

“I’m a liberal, liberal parent,” Canning pleaded. “I wish I could have grown up in my house. I was tougher on my cops at work than I’ve ever been at my home, that’s for sure.”

Gee, I wonder how ever this could have happened.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

I have to wonder that any parent who is not enough involved in a kids life that the kids crave independence as an adult may not be getting involved enough.  I probably live about like my parents would have wanted me to (maybe less cleaning), but I certainly wanted to live on my own and make my own decisions when I finally got out of college.

I guess I assumed the girl was sueing over college costs, but she is sueing over the last semester of private high school tuition.  The school said they won't kick her out due to unpaid tuition so I am not sure what exactly the damage is on that front.  I can sort of see a judge telling the parents to pay the cost of finishing high school.  What also gets me curious is why the kid is sueing now versus after the school year is over?

The teen has been living with a family friend ever since leaving home. The friend’s dad is former Morris County Freeholder John Inglesino, who is reportedly footing Rachel’s legal bill.
So the friends Dad where she is living is paying the legal fees.  That just seems odd to me.  (what is a "freeholder"?)  Is he fronting costs for her car or something?

Seems like they could just prorate the cost to cover the two days she was a "child".  That will not make her, or her attorneys, happy, but it would seem as fair as being a spoiled brat and suing your parents.

Doesn't necessarily work that way.  If you're doing child support, the usual deal is that payments continue until they turn 18 OR graduate high school, whichever occurs second.

Well, at least this freeholder was sleeping with someone ele's daughter  ;)


You would think for the cost of legal fee he could have just paid the tuition for her instead  =|

That is sort of why I was wondering that the lawsuit is happening now.  The high school might withhold a diploma until the bill is paid, but the school year isn't done yet.  There are few if any actual damages yet.  She seems to be suing just to get a judge to tell her parents what to do.

True, but you still are considered emancipated at 18.  If she chose to move out, then I can see a a judge telling her, tough noogies.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Wnat Scout said is a real key point.  She walked, and I agree completely that she gets nothing.  Mixed feelings on the putcome if she got the boot.

Seems kind of like a "pray for an asteroid" kind of thing.  Prescious little girl is an arrogent, entitled, disrespectful, ungrateful bitch.  "Liberal, liberal" sperm and egg donors are insanely idiotic, delusional, enabling pseudo-parents.

Seeing the education bubble and the rulings of family court judges ordering private schools and full college educations, I worry.  The writers, enforcers, and interpreters of laws haven't seemed to have much respect for the concept of law lately.  I do hope its an observation bias, exceptions standing out, but interaction with the system lowers faith in the system. 

I was raised with the notion 18 = adult, maybe we will toss you a rifle and send you somewhere (sorry bout that 21 drinking age thing).  The attitudes of an entitled youth that never go away seems more the norm and the polls reflect it and society seems more and more accommodating.  30 isn't too young to be a proper curmudgeon right?

First setback for the plaintiff.  She was not awarded emergency support nor her high school tuition.

I doubt she'll win. And this showing up in Google searches for the rest of her life will do her no favors.
