Lol. Guarantee this girl is a spoiled brat, bad mouths her parents, doesn't listen at all, and is just reckless.
Rachel Canning, 18, a cheerleader at Morris Catholic High School, claims her parents kicked her out of their home and refused to pay for her college tuition.
Her lawsuit — which is funded by the lawyer father of one of the teen's friends — seeks immediate financial support from her parents and an order requiring them to pay for her college.
Sean Canning, Rachel's father and a former police chief, says Rachel didn't get kicked out and in fact ran away from home in November because she did not want to follow simple rules like sticking to a curfew and doing chores.
"We are being sued by our child, I'm dumbfounded so is my wife and so are my other daughters," Sean Canning told CBS in a television interview. Her parents also deny her allegations that they're refusing to pay for college.
Rachel Canning declined comment. She is staying with her best friend's family - attorney and freeholder John Inglesino. He is funding the lawsuit, saying it's the only way the bright and focused teen will be able to go to a college appropriate for her to become a biomedical engineer. Rachel, who has a $20,000 scholarship, says the University of Vermont, a private college, is her first choice.
"We have a college fund available, but it is the equivalent of shopping at a high end and sending us the bill," Sean Canning said.
Rachel says she didn't run away but was given the option of dumping her boyfriend or getting out.
