NJ teen Rachel Canning who sued parents goes home

[msanthrope]

73. You've made my point...the mother's certification is a long, nasty

diatribe against her daughter and other people. And it fails to address the incident when Rachel's father passed out in her room. it's pretty obvious that the mother is extremely upset over the fact that Rachel wanted to go live with her father during the separation.

If her daughter was such a screw up... Then why leave her in charge when she and her husband went off to Las Vegas???

And how does any mother not know that their teenage anorexic daughter has two trash bags full of vomit in their room?

Further, what kind of parents interrupt the schooling of a child who is obviously ill and in need of help and continued support??? Even if you think she's a horrible kid.... why take a child who has a verified eating disorder and interrupt her senior year????

Torch... I did juvenile justice for too long not to figure out exactly what's going on here.... that the father is an ex cop is absolutely no surprise. That there was a recent and apparently quite contentious separation is also no surprise. That the family has alcohol issues it's not a surprise. That New Jersey social services didn't really bother with a white suburban family is also not a surprise. These parents suck and they're taking advantage of being white and suburban to get away with the abuse and neglect they put on all three daughters.
