    What great parents that they have the presence of mind to encourage independence and self reliance as soon as possible.

    Kicking someone out halfway through their a level year is not great parenting.

    No such thing as sixth form in Scotland but some stay on for 6th year. I was 18 before I left school and I'm in Scotland.

    Dreadful parents from what's been posted. Putting someone out halfway through probably the most important year.

    And what about safety? Do they care anything about that? Whether their child had somewhere to go?
