\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, I have intended for the past two days<\/a> to talk about this teenager that sued her parents in New Jersey, and I\u2019m gonna do it now. I promised, so here we go. “A New Jersey honor student suing her parents for…” She\u2019s losing the suit, by the way, at least lost an early round. The judge is Peter Bogaard. She is 18. She claims she was kicked out of the house. Her parents say, “No, she left on her own.” <\/p>\n

She says her parents were disciplining her too much, making her do homework and so forth. She didn\u2019t want to do that, and so now she\u2019s gone, and she is suing them for the money to continue her private education. “Family court Judge Peter Bogaard denied the emergency demand of 18-year-old Rachel Canning to have her folks pick up tuition at Morris Catholic HS, where she\u2019s in the 12th grade and maintaining a 3.5 grade-point average. <\/p>\n

<\/a>“In a potential precedent-setting lawsuit, Rachel claims her parents, Sean and Elizabeth Canning, threw her out of their Lincoln Park home, but should still be responsible for paying school tuition, room, board, transportation and other expenses. … Sean and Elizabeth Canning said their eldest daughter refused to obey basic household rules and left on her own. Tuesday\u2019s hearing was the first time Sean and Elizabeth Canning had seen Rachel in person since she left in late October, two days before her birthday. <\/p>\n

“Both parents cried during the two-hour hearing in Morristown, about 30 miles west of Manhattan, as lawyers traded angry accusations. Rachel\u2019s lawyer, Tanya Helfand, said the couple hadn\u2019t lifted a finger to contact their daughter or make sure she\u2019s doing OK.” The lawyer said, “‘Her relationship with her parents is abusive, in particular her relationship with her father. I\u2019m asking the court to help this vulnerable young woman,'” by making the parents cough up the dough.<\/p>\n

“In court papers, Rachel,” the 18-year-old who ran away from home, “said her mom has called her fat, while her dad has been ‘inappropriately affectionate with me.\u2019 ‘He mentioned frequently that my relationship, in his eyes, was not one of a daughter, but more than that,\u2019 Rachel contends.” (Gasp!) No! (Gasp!) Well, you know, Baby Boom parents do really want to be friends with their kids. <\/p>\n

Some of them do. Some of them, they don\u2019t want to be parents. They don\u2019t want to be disciplinarians. They don\u2019t want to raise them, they want to be friends with them, and this father may be one of those kinds of guys. But now, when go into court, you can throw any allegation around you want, all you have to say is that her father was “inappropriately affectionate” and you know as well as I do that the feminazis and every other social group is gonna be on that like white on rice.<\/p>\n

Which is what I\u2019m sure the lawyer intended. She didn\u2019t say. “She stopped short of saying he never touched her unlawfully. Her parents\u2019 lawyer, Laurie Rush-Masuret, denied all of Rachel\u2019s claims. The Cannings introduced documents from the state\u2019s Division of Child Protection, showing the parents had been investigated for — and cleared of — abuse allegations. And the bottom line, Rush-Masuret said, is that Rachel left on her own, explaining, ‘She has emancipated herself. She doesn\u2019t want to be within her parents\u2019 sphere of influence.'”<\/line><\/p>\n

“Despite Tuesday\u2019s setback, Rachel\u2019s suit is going forward. [The Judge] ordered both sides back to court on April 22. But the judge hinted that Rachel might have a tough legal burden to handle. ‘The child thumbs her nose at her parents, leaves the house and turns around asking, “Now you have to pay me money every week.” This poses a public-policy issue,\u2019 he said. ‘It\u2019s a slippery slope.'”<\/p>\n

Damn right it is. Eighteen. This girl is 18 years old. Now, during the court hearing… I don\u2019t know if you heard about this. During the court hearing, the father, Sean Canning, pleaded, during court, (sobbing), “I\u2019m a liberal, liberal parent! I wish I could have grown up in my house. I was tougher on my cops at work than I\u2019ve ever been at my home, that\u2019s for sure!<\/p>\n

But, ” I\u2019m a liberal, liberal parent!” That may be an indication of where things went off the tracks here. Just saying. “I\u2019m a liberal, liberal parent! I wish I could have grown up in my house.” Meaning: “Man, it\u2019s a piece of cake in this house the way I run things here!” Now, the latest in this: “The New Jersey parents being sued for tuition by their entitled teenager were excoriated in a Friday rant on her new Facebook page… <\/p>\n

Oh, yeah. The daughter went out there and ripped them. What is her name again? I remember the father\u2019s name. Rachel Cummings, got a Facebook page, and she unloaded on her parents, calling them spoiled Baby Boomers who would rather feather a retirement nest than pay their kid\u2019s college bill. She wasn\u2019t just talking about her parents. She launched into every Baby Boom parent out there. She wrote this on her Facebook page. “I have been stunned by the financial greed of modern parents who are more concerned with retiring into some fantasy world rather than provide for their children\u00c2\u2019s college and young adult years.”<\/p>\n

She started by calling her parents spoiled, and then people posted in agreement. “‘Suburban baby boomer types are the spoiled lot, they make massive amount of money a year, they are used to flying to luxury destinations when they want, and buy things that they don\u00c2\u2019t need, people should be inclined to see things my way.\u2019 The post appeared on the ‘Education for Rachel\u2019 Facebook page, which Canning previously told The Post she set up to support her cause.”<\/p>\n

Another poster said, “I see parents like this every day, children were always an accessory to them and nothing more, once that accessory grew up and went out of fashion, much like a marriage that people allegedly commit to, the child becomes a throwaway, that\u00c2\u2019s just how it is.”<\/p>\n

<\/a>So, folks, what is happening here is this babe sues her parents, sets up a Facebook page, and people start posting to it, supporting her with all of these assaults on Baby Boomer parents. Now, as one who studies sociology in this society and the culture, I find this fascinating that we have these Millennials now who are looking at their Baby Boom parents as a bunch of materialistic, selfish, concerned only with them and their kids are just accessories. <\/p>\n

I always thought it was Hollywood actresses that adopted babies \u2019cause it was the latest accessory. You know, Madonna setting the trend on that. But now this group is saying that, “We\u2019re all accessories, and all of these Baby Boom parents, all they do is care about themselves. They just want us for the appearance of a solid, healthy, good family, but they\u2019re selfish. They don\u2019t want to pay for us. They don\u2019t want to support us. They don\u2019t want to pay for education. They don\u2019t want to pay for our young adulthood. They don\u2019t want to pay for anything. We\u2019re totally on our own. They\u2019re selfish, they\u2019re brutes, and we\u2019re just accessories.” <\/p>\n

Well, I know they\u2019re paying extra for that Catholic high school, but they\u2019re not paying it, that\u2019s the point. They probably would if she hadn\u2019t left home. But she left home, they said, okay, you\u2019re on your own. If you\u2019re gonna split the scene, you\u2019re on your own. Here\u2019s the real world. I don\u2019t know about you, when I was growing up I didn\u2019t set the rules in my house; the parents did. Or anybody else\u2019s house I was in. Even as an adult. Whoever owned the house sets the rules there, no matter how old I was. But certainly kids didn\u2019t set the rules. <\/p>\n

But I tell you something, folks, I have noticed. You know, I\u2019m a childless person. I observe others, but I don\u2019t have the actual experience. That actually is what has made writing these children\u2019s books so challenging and fun to do. But I\u2019ve observed over the last couple decades — I mean, it\u2019s different than what I was growing up. A lot of parents demand that their kids be included in every invitation they get. An adult inner party. “Well, I\u2019m not coming unless I can bring my kids.” <\/p>\n

“You what? You want to bring the kids?”<\/p>\n

“Yes, I do everything with my children, and I\u2019m not coming unless I can bring them.”<\/p>\n

So little chronicles of changes taking place. But the selfishness of the Baby Boomers — I think it\u2019s fascinating that these Millennials are now focusing on that while at the same time expecting to be totally supported. It\u2019s mom and dad who are selfish, focused only on themselves, which happens to be true of a lot of Baby Boomers, in fact. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
