My main problem with this story is the demand for college tuition. There are plenty of students in this country, who have loving parents, who don't get sent to college on a free ride. They have to pay for it themselves. This is what makes me think she's entitled. A parent may be required to take care of their children until they're 18, but going to college is a privilege, not a right.

And if her complaint is that her parents were abusive, wouldn't she be better off suing for pain and suffering, or something similar?

Where was Obama's father when he was 18?

What do you think should be done to parents who don't take care of their kids up until 18?
