THE RECORD
It was a case that struck fear in the hearts of parents around the world. If a teenager does not like her parents’ rules, can she move out of their house and then sue them for hundreds of thousands of dollars in financial support?
Rachel Canning, the 18-year-old senior at Morris Catholic High School, may never know for sure. She’s moved back into her family’s home in Lincoln Park, a lawyer for her parents announced at a news conference Wednesday, possibly ending a lawsuit that landed her troubled family in the middle of a global media firestorm.
“The bottom line is it’s over. She’s home,” said Angelo Sarno, the lawyer for Rachel’s parents, Sean and Elizabeth Canning. “You can’t address family grievances in a courtroom.”
Family law experts around North Jersey agreed.
“There really was no need for this family’s situation to become a public matter in the first place,” said Bari Weinberger, a family law attorney in Paramus. “These are parents with a child in need of counseling and help behind closed doors, not a legal battle in open court. It’s a relief to see that cooler heads prevailed.”

So are the parents going to let the big guy in the plaid shirt sleep over and bang her like a screen door in a hurricane?
Because that’s all this was ever about.
Hormones are like that. I have a daughter and I guess I’ll find out sooner or later. I hope that by the time she turns 18 she is away at college and smart enough to know how to explore the senses responsibly…
#1 one hell of a dumb comment.
Follow the money …..
#2. I thought the same thing when I read #1
If #2 and #4 think that she moved out for any other reason than her parents didn’t like her boyfriend and didn’t want him around, while she thought she was “all growed up” and should be “treated like an adult” i.e. screen door, hurricane etc. then I guess some people are still a bit sheltered.
# 1&5. You are crude and you do not have any information about what happened. Good time to stop blogging.
I think she’s very lucky to have parents that would let her come home. There are those of us who would say ok sue us now your on your own. The lawyer who took the case and filed the suit didn’t help matters any.
