Spoiled brat or legit legal case? THE COASTER asked Shore area residents, “What do you think about the teen suing her parents?” this week – and here are their verdicts:
We don’t know why she has to be different.
Rules and guidelines, if you can’t follow them, the parents have to do what they have to do.
We pray for her and her family, that they work things out and get back together.
We’re sure they would help her get through college.
Kids have one job – go to school and be respectful to your parents.
She moved out a short time before her 18th birthday, so obviously, there was a problem there.
But when she moved out – the deals off.
If she wants to be independent and live on her own, she should.
Maybe the family that took her in and are misguiding her now, could help with her education.
If she chooses to leave, then she’s on her own.
If you don’t want to follow the rules your parents put down, then you’re the one who’s at fault.
College, maybe, she should pay for .
The parents have a responsibility up to the age of 18 – no question.
Going to a prestigious school is a privilege.
She’s 18 – go get a loan.
Why did she move out in the first place?
What is the relationship with the man she moved in with and why is he funding this lawsuit?
Crystal: I think it’s pretty cut and dry, she’s totally spoiled and her parents are 100% right in not wanting to fund her.
They seem like down to earth people who had rules she didn’t want to follow.
She was using bad words in trying to manipulate her mother into giving into her.
She has no respect for them.
I’m sure her parents would have paid for her secondary education, but, to go about it this way?
There should have been more communication.
She should not have done this publically.
But we also think it’s part the parents fault,
She was raised with loose boundaries to think she can walk all over them.
No respect.
Parents shouldn’t have to support their kids after a certain age.
Ted: I think if she wants somebody to support her, she needs to find herself a man.
I think it builds character to get out on your own after 18.
And if they give her money, she can come here and support me.
She’s wrong to sue them.
The parents should pursue this and show her she’s wrong.
If she wins, it would open a pandora’s box of problems.
