Teenage girl sues parent for money

This case you are about to read has gone viral
and is currently trending in the United States.
Just imagine this happening in Nigeria.
A New Jersey teenager, 18 years old Rachel
Canning, has sued her parents because, she
claims, they threw her out of the house when
she turned 18 and refused to pay for her
private high school and college education.
According to Rachel, her mother and father
kicked her out of their home and cut her off
financially when she
turned 18, November 1st 2013, and that they
have been mean to her. She also claimed
abuse, even though there's no evidence of that
other than a yelling match a school official
witnessed between Canning and her mother.
So, in the lawsuit, Rachel asked the court to
force her parents to pay her living and
transportation expenses for the foreseeable
future, pay the outstanding tuition for her
private high school, use money from an
existing college fund to pay for at least some
of her college education.
The parents, meanwhile, say that daughter
Rachel Canning, 18, is “an incredibly
rebellious teen.” Rachel's father, Sean
Canning, a town administrator and retired
police officer, said he and wife never kicked
Rachel out at all. Instead, he explains, she up
and left on her own in late October because
she didn’t want to abide by her parents’
rules. He said:
We love our child and miss her. This is
terrible. It’s killing me and my wife. We have a
child we want home. We’re not Draconian and
now we’re getting hauled into court.
Rachel's parents say they asked her to
reconsider her relationship with a boyfriend
they believe may be a bad influence, but
Rachel would hear none of that. She's not
respectful, she won't abide by her curfew.
“Living in our house, there’s very few things.
There’s minor chores. There’s curfews. When I
say curfew, it’s usually after 11 o’clock at
night. She’s demanding that we pay her bills
but she doesn’t want to live at home, and
she’s saying, ‘I don’t want to live under your
rules.’”
For months now, Rachel — an honor student,
cheerleader, and lacrosse player — has been
living with her best friend, Jaime Inglesino's
family. And Jaime's father, attorney John
Inglesino, is bankrolling Rachel’s lawsuit. He’s
also requesting in the lawsuit that the
Cannings reimburse him for the legal fees, so
far totaling $12,597 (over N2million)....
Ehen, come try that one for Nigeria na....
