[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 622571"] I just read that the daughter dropped the case completely yesterday. I hope this family can heal and I wish them all the best. I really think it was a case of a difficult child being emboldened by the egocentric adults around her and bad peer choices. Let's face it, if your teenager's bff shows up on your doorstep -most parents would have given her a safe place to sleep, called the girl's parents surreptitiously to let them know she was safe, and let everything cool down a bit and try to encourage the kid and her parents to start communicating. I can't imagine bankrolling a lawsuit! That friend's father and the lawyer should be ashamed of themselves for using a teenage girl to further their own egos and ambitions. Although he didn't sue us, my own difficult child was emboldened by his girlfriend's parents who gave him a place to live, allowed their daughter to support him and completely ignored my heartfelt plea for them to help our family come together. difficult child was only 19 and they had been our friends and lived down the street. I still have to resist the urge to run them over when I see them walking past our house. One of the father's conditions for her moving back home was individual and family counseling. I hope they follow thru and it all works out. And I hope she grows out of being a difficult child and has a new appreciation for her parents and siblings and the charmed life she apparently led.
