After enduring a media barrage that's lasted more than a week, Rachel Canning, the New Jersey teen who’s suing her parents for financial support, returned home to her family on Tuesday night. But the very next day Canning's lawyer demonstrated that the case is far from over by returning to court, requesting that the parents pay for a guardian to be appointed for their 18-year-old high school student.
“Just a few days ago, Rachel Canning indicated she could not go back home with her parents and she required a promise of some financial assistance going forward," attorney Tanya Helfand wrote in her application to the court, highlighting the teen's quick turnaround in deciding to return to her parents' after living at a friend's for several months. “Now, after speaking with her mother yesterday, she said she is waiving her complaint and is receiving no promises or consideration in return.”
She noted that if her client decides to dismiss the case, it’s important that she does so “of her own free will” and not because of outside pressures, and added, “A psychologist certified that the parents are abusive. School faculty certified that the parents abuse the child.” Helfand also asked that a gag order be placed on all parties regarding the case. But Family Division Judge Peter Bogaard in Morris County denied the request.

Why not a new law in some states you cannot throw your teen out until they turn 21 years old. Just like in some states its illegal to spank your child in any way and any form. It would result as child abuse indangerment. You can go to prison for 3-5 years. I like if you throw your teen out of house illegally. Youll serve 5-10 years in prison. If you want your kid out you must do it 2 ways. One you have have your child institutionalized or put your child in a foster home. If you throw your child out youll go to prison. If your child is a runaway you must report to the police within 48 hours. If you don't report it then its consider you threw your child out and youll be arrested.
