Support page of teen suing her parents rants against "spoiled" baby boomer generation

[davidn3600]

The New Jersey parents being sued for tuition by their entitled teenager were excoriated in a Friday rant on her new Facebook page as “spoiled” baby boomers who would rather feather a retirement nest than pay their kids’ college bills.

“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’s college and young adult years,” a poster — presumed to be Morris Catholic HS senior Rachel Canning or a supporter — wrote in the pre-dawn web screed.

“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’t need, people should be inclined to see things my way.”

The post appeared on the “Education for Rachel” Facebook page, which Canning previously told The Post she set up to support her cause.

The venomous Friday message suggested that, if Canning’s parents don’t foot her education bills, she’ll have no future unless she joins the armed forces.

“In today’s economy there are no more meaningful jobs and without family help it’s usually military or bust,” the poster gripes.

1. Why is this posted with a shit-eating grinning photo and a genuinely sad crying mother photo?

Wrong or right regarding the whole issue, but we aren't fucking stupid drones waiting to have our clues filled up by suggestive photos. Bunch of shit reporting (gotta wonder if the editors are offended baby boomers).

4. Yeah. not manipulative at ALL. nt

[Gormy Cuss]

19. Classic tabloid journalism.

They really think we ARE fucking stupid.

[Downwinder]

2. Why do i have the feeling that she is not going to be there

for her parents in their declining years?

[bigwillq]

3. Oh, she will be.

Administering a poisoned needle, and then yelling "Show me the money"

[seveneyes]

5. Kids today

Can be like kids of yesteryear. No need to slag entire generations. The fact this kid is trying to sue her parents, for a couple of grand+/month for street money, says more about her than any generational generalizations.

6. The New York Post is a Murdoch owned tabloid paper.

And those photos are bullshit.

10. well, here you go then...

Boohoo.

14. This part where she says her parents "legally" can't have any house rules for her

"In New Jersey (as in most states) parents are required to support their kids through high school unless legally emancipated, which I'm not. This means that they can NOT put conditions on me being at home, which they did."

And then she goes on to say everyone ELSE is "legally ignorant"



This Facebook page is NOT going to help her any I'm thinking....

[TorchTheWitch]

16. and yet there were people here

coddling this selfish entitled piece of work and calling her parents deadbeats. Christ.

Yep, it all had to do with this git not wanting to follow basic house rules.

7. Gosh.

Lovely family all round.

8. I have a word for this girl that I can't use here.

[REP]

9. I read her postings. Her parents have been throwing their money away on that school.

If she's an example of a 'straight A' student from her school, they've been wasting their money. Pretty petty princess is unable to write coherently in what is presumably her native tongue.

11. her attorney - "egregious ethics violations"

Now this is interesting...

I knew there was something slimy about that dude.

13. And he's got close ties to Christie...

From that article (there's another article leading off that where Rachel's parents say he gave their then underage daughter alcohol)

In 2009, Merkt alleged Inglesino, speaking on Gov. Chris Christie's behalf, offered him a "major position" if he stayed out of the 2009 race for the Republican nomination for governorship. Inglesino, a former Morris County freeholder, has close personal and political ties to Christie, and has raised money for the governor.

All in all, a total scumbag. Even before knowing that, I'd worked out that this lawyer father of her best friend was repulsive for being behind a lawsuit that's clearly destroying another family, but on the scale of repulsiveness he's now risen to a 10 out of 10....

I hope she and her parents can put all this aside and make peace with each other...

12. "She’ll have no future unless she joins the armed forces".

“In today’s economy there are no more meaningful jobs and without family help it’s usually military or bust,” the poster gripes.

That option or course of action be ruled out... the military has moral and ethical standards.

[dionysus]

15. or get scholarships and loans like i did, ya spoiled brat.

[okaawhatever]

17. This doesn't sound like American writing:

“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’t need, people should be inclined to see things my way.”

I wonder if that's Rachel or a ghost writer or maybe just a supporter?

[REP]

18. Yeah it does; it's poorly constructed and lacking in grammar and punctuation

She's trying to sound like Lorde.

20. May be it's just me. Kids don't ask to be born. If their parents have the resources, they

have an obligation to help their children gain a solid footing into adulthood. I don't know what happened between that girl and her parents, it seems to be deeper than she wouldn't follow her parents house rules.
