This may have escaped your notice....but she's EIGHTEEN!
Did you read the article?
“So let me get this straight, these parents have a kid and then don’t want to take care of her?”
No, the parents have an adult child who refused to live by their rules, and so they cut her off.
Rachel claims her weight dropped to 92 pounds after developing an eating disorder in sophomore year
In court papers she claims her father said she was ‘more’ than just a daughter to him and he kissed her on the cheek inappropriately
Rachel’s father, Sean, is a former Lincoln Park, New Jersey police chief and says his daughter is a ‘spoiled’ liar who left on her own
She states that her parents have a combined yearly income of between $250,000 and $300,000 and she is entitled to $654-a-week in child support. Her parents have also refused to pay $6,000 owed in school fees for her Catholic High School.
Her parents claim their daughter ran off to stay with friends when she turned 18 because she refused to abide by rules they had set down, including to stop dating her boyfriend.
But today the judge clearly took a dim view of the lawsuit. He said: ‘What kind of parents would the Canning’s be if they didn’t try to set down some strict rules?
‘I hate you, have a nice life, bye mom’
Phone message left for Liz Canning from Rachel at July 2, 2013 1:18pm, submitted to Morris County Court, which got the judge apparently so angry:
‘Hi mom just to let you know you’re a real f**king winner aren’t you you think you’re so cool and you think you caught me throwing up in the bathroom after eating an egg frittatta, yeah sorry that you have problems now and you need to harp on mine because i didn’t and i actually took a s*** which i really just wanna s*** all over your face right now because it looks like that anyway, anyway i f***ing hate you and um I’ve written you off so don’t talk to me, don’t do anything I’m blocking you from just about everything, have a nice life, bye mom’
Mr and Mrs Cannings have completely dismissed Rachel’s stunning allegations and have called their daughter a liar and a thief, who is ‘obsessed’ with alcohol.
They claimed her boyfriend Lucas Kitzmiller is a terrible influence and Rachel ran away from home after getting suspended from high school in an incident that involved him.
And Mrs Canning even accused her daughter of trying to sabotage her relationship with her husband and even ‘attempting to open up a dating profile for him’.
In happier times: Rachel claims her father Sean Canning was inappropriately affectionate. But a Department of Families and Children inquiry cleared him of allegations of abuse
The couple submitted letters to the court which state a Department of Children and Families investigation cleared them. Mrs Canning added: ‘In fact, the case worker told us that it was in her opinion that we spoiled our daughter. We gave her too much’.
Mrs Canning added: ‘She also told the worker that she had threatened suicide and my reaction was that I “high-fived” my husband. this was so outrageously offensive that it did not deserve to be addressed, but we gladly addressed it with the caseworker’.
She said: ‘On or about October 30, 2012, two days before her 18th birthday, Rachel ran away from home. Rachel was never ‘kicked’ out of home.
‘Rachel lived in our house, under our supervision, until the morning of October 30, 2013, when she ran away after a disciplinary hearing at Morris Catholic wherein she was suspended for truancy (having previously been suspended due to alcohol involvement at the Homecoming Dance).
‘Between August and October 30, 2013, Rachel routinely (every weekend) would attend parties, become intoxicated, and seek approval from my husband and I.
‘On or about October 5, 2012, Rachel committed a theft on my credit card, which card was given to her for the purpose of purchasing presents for my husband’s birthday.’
Referencing another theft, she said: ‘During at incident in April 2011, Rachel stole $100 from my purse, snuck out of the house, at midnight, attended a party…. And returned home by taxi at 3.30am on a weeknight.’
You could adopt her.
No.
