    I'm certain the parents have no intention of casting this person out to sleep rough in the snow. But knowing their rights has made them feel a lot less helpless-thank you very much to everyone for your prompt contributions.

    To the op,

    Tell them that this is cruel what their are doing, fair enough if their are not paying for board but throwing them out on the street with no where to go mostly this time of year when its bad winter and don't forget snow will be here soon. how can the parents sleep at night for doing this?

    If their can't pay or won't pay can the parents not give them a few weeks or months to find another place?

    We are already in a mess and did you see on daybreak yesturday that a lot of children will be homeless this christmas.

    I know you stated it's a adult but its still the same thing when the person has no where to go and their will sleep rough in this bad weather.

    To gay_guy

    You have no right to judge - you don't know what the adult child has done. They sound thoroughly revolting just going on the very minimal information we have here.

    Sometimes these 'children' aren't that young as I know one who was in his late 30s, working, and refused to move out of the family home which was being sold to fund a retirement abroad. He caused so much heartbreak and had already thrown away thousands of his parents money in the past. They had to pay him off again to get him out. There's a lot if potential scenarios that don't include some vulnerable and innocent 18 year old.
    Don't listen to me, I'm no expert!
