(11,065 posts)The mother's and father's affidavits both talked of the parents of the child their daughter was staying with (and Rachel's attorneys) had given Rachel alcohol while underage in the past, not that they themselves had since it was this very drinking issue they had with her that they believe was part of her rebellious behavior.

Mrs. Canning's affidavit begins on page 40
See #14-#16, starting on page 43 of Mrs. Canning's affidavit alluding to their disapproval of Rachel's drinking and refusing to shuttle her from drinking parties that her and her boyfriend attended. The redacted names refer to Rachel's boyfriend and his parents. It was this drinking behavior that began in excess that was the major reason whey they did not want her to continue seeing him.
See #19 starting on page 44 of Mrs. Cannings affidavit that explains how at a family dinner Rachel requested they allow her to have a drinking party at their home that both of the Cannings refused.
See #26 and #27 starting on page 45 of Mrs. Cannings affidavit further explaining drinking incidents that Rachel lied to them about and they clearly disapproved of.
See #41 through #44 starting on page 50 of Mrs. Cannings affidavit that describes Rachel's getting drunk at the Homecoming dance and in which the Cannings were investigated by child services whereby everything Rachel had claimed was deemed to be false.
See #48 and #49 starting on page 52 of Mrs. Cannings affidavit in which they describe Rachel's drinking behavior getting herself in trouble started with the boyfriend they disapproved of.
*See #54 starting on page 53 of Mrs. Cannings affidavit in which it is the Inglesio family that first gave alcohol to Rachel when she was only 15 years old as well as allowed underage drinking parties in their home that Rachel bragged to her parents about.
Better yet, read the whole thing. How you could possibly read that affidavit and somehow come to the conclusion that it was the Cannings themselves that gave Rachel alcohol is mind boggling. Clearly they disapproved of her drinking behavior and clearly tried to stop this behavior.
The degenerate shits here are the Inglesios who allowed Rachel to stay with them, had given Rachel alcohol when she was only 15 years old where Rachel had attended alcohol parties the Inglesios had for their own daughter and then decided it was a good idea to act as Rachel's counsel suing Rachel's parents instead of urging her to return home even after they found out that Rachel was a nasty lying piece of work that had been spoiled by her parents according to the lies Rachel told to child services that they investigated.
And you a lawyer. Jesus.
