[Georgia Girl 2]

Note to Rachel: Don’t get on the wrong side of Daddy til you are financially independent.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

GOOD!

Is 18 old enough in NJ to be ‘emancipated?’ This brat basically ran away from home and is sheltering elsewhere.

18 and OUT in my family; sooner if you’re a brat, LOL!

[Mouton]

Finally a decent decision.

[Valpal1]

Wait, what? Wins for common sense are so few these day, I can’t believe this happened.

[Tennessee Nana]

oh darn I just hate when that happens...

[House Atreides]

“...Judge Peter Bogaard noted that Rachel Canning’s behavior over the past year has been in question — one or two school suspensions, drinking, losing her captaincy on the cheerleading squad and being kicked out of the campus ministry....”
*********************************************************************

My, my, my...I guess there’s more to this than the previous press reports that stated she was a model, honor student.

Would love to have seen Judge Judy get this case.

[jazusamo]

Ah yes, Rachel has a learning experience in growing up and she needed it badly.

[jyro]

Isn’t that what “tough love” is all about?
Change your ways girl if you want to live at home, otherwise your out in the cold. If her friends parents weren’t letting her stay at their house and bankrolling her lawsuit, she would have been back home long ago.

[CaptainK]

Her friend's father, attorney and former Morris County Freeholder John Inglesino, is bankrolling the lawsuit.

Something doesn't smell right about this guy allowing this girl to reside in his home for all these months and spending his own money to force this girl's parents into court.

I wonder what his wife is thinking?

[chiefqc]

I still do not understand why this “Good Guy” has gotten himself involved with this families problems. There is something fishy going on just what is unanswered question, but it smells rotten.

Good call by the judge.

Now, I hope two things happen in wake of the ruling:

-That the daughter comes to her senses and grows up a bit.

-That this family can reconcile. As ugly as this situation is, I’d hate for the parents and child to become permanently estranged.

[dragonblustar]

Not to be sick but you know some sleazy porn guy will offer her some money after all this is over. Stupid girl just advertized to the world that she’s a troubled teen willing to do anything for a buck.

[Rebelbase]

Later this year she’ll sue for not being invited to Thanksgiving and Christmas.

[Rebelbase]

Poor little princess.

[FredZarguna]

"In the four months that Rachel had been with the Inglesinos, these people have not called her, they have not come to see her, they have not sent a penny to her or to her benefactors, enablers"

[Fungi]

This little brat is destined for trouble.

[PieterCasparzen]

Exodus 20:12

“Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.”

[DManA]

Isn’t there a legal theory about alienating the natural affections between parent and child?

There should be something the parents can sue the “friend’s” slimy lawyer father, egging her on with this frivolous law suit.
