Does this girl simply need a good spanking?

A high school cheerleader and honor student in New Jersey left home over a family dispute when she turned 18. That was last October. Now she’s suing her parents for money to go to college.”

“In addition to access to a college tuition fund, Canning is also suing her parents for the cost of a $5,000 unpaid high school bill, transportation and living expenses, and legal fees that have so far totaled more than $12,000.

“To date Sean Canning admits a state worker visited the home just prior to Rachel’s alleged ‘abandonment,’ but that the official found the teen simply to be ‘spoiled’ and didn’t pursue the abuse allegations.”

By law, a parent has an obligation to support a child who cannot support themselves, financially. The other question is: doesn’t a parent have the right to enforce reasonable rules in their own home?
