A New Jersey cheerleader who sued her parents for child support after she moved out was today pictured leaving her family's home with her mother after returning to the house this week.
In an apparent sign that the family were attempting to return to normality after their embarrassment, Rachel Canning, 18, climbed into her car to head to school on Thursday while her mother Elizabeth climbed into a separate vehicle. They were followed by her father Sean and a younger sibling.
Rachel returned to the Morris County home with her tail between her legs on Tuesday night after a judge took a very dim view of her lawsuit demanding her parents pay child support, college tuition and other expenses last week.
Her parents had claimed that their daughter ran off in October to stay with friends because she refused to abide by rules they had put in place, including to stop dating her boyfriend.

Fine, but there would be some RULES, some tough love, and a mighty short leash involved if she were my kid.
And that idiot lawyer who took this case to court, he should be disbarred for being too stupid to practice law.
The parents are apparently huge libs that created their darling little ‘problem’.
No way, let her shift for herself, homeless or as a street hooker!
Very likely.
I wonder what the Vegas line is for the Over/Under on how long this is gonna last ...
One thing I haven’t seen mentioned in any posts about this: If she is such a good student - I believe scholarships were mentioned - hasn’t she kissed any scholarships good-bye just for putting her NAME out there in this lawsuit? What college is going to offer anything to a spoiled brat like this? Consequences!
Tough love as in “You’re 18. Have a good life.” Personally I would have better things to do than trying to control the life of an adult that sued me.
I think we should cut this family some slack and let them work out their problems.
There was some stuff on this in another thread this week. Dad seems to like playing beer pong at 3 am.
So her friend’s daddy (who happens to be a lawyer) didn’t hit the jackpot and the welcome mat got a little smaller?
Should have used it on her parents too. they all need it.
Yup, it simply can’t all be the fault of the daughter.
This family needs prayers, they may actually come out of this mess sobered and improved.
You’re not wrong, I understand the sentiment but this is an 18 year old were talking about. Maybe, just maybe the combination of public shame and judges rebuke had some effect. In the end it’s still their kid and they still want to hope for the best. And the reality is she’s an attractive girl and there are plenty of guys out there willing to take advantage.
I’d probably give her a chance but on a very, very short leash.
Also how much you want to bet that the reality show contract is already in the works?
She went to a public school. The parents seem to understand the real world. The kid has been brainwashed. i’m not a parent but i would advise to all: don’t send your kid to a public school. Except for math my school in 1970 was crap. i can’t imagine what it is now.
Ummm, no, she went to a private school.
I attended public high school for two years, then to college.
That was also in 1970...the school was actually very good. I can’t imagine what it has morphed into by now...it’s probably quite scary.
Saw a story on FR today about a lad that is in serious trouble because they found a pocket knife in his car at school. I remember that all the boys in my grade school had a pocket knife in their pocket...including me. In high school boys were allowed to ride the school bus with their 22 rifles (for gun safety course on the football field) My how things have changed.
I would not offer housing to any child who took such public delight in reducing both parents to tears. The girl has a cruel, vicious heart, and her viper persona will strike again. Just wait till one of her little sisters accidently wears Rachael sweater to school and rips a sleeve. I’ve seen how sisters can get about borrowed clothes or shoes. You’d think they just drove off on her Harley motorcycle.
They didn’t disown her after crapping on them in public?
