Sadly here in Ontario a kid can move out when they are 16. We were left with two choices see her living with him with no money for food which would cause insane stress or allow them to live here. She has mental health problems and after discussing this with her therapist He said letting them stay here and give her the ability to learn how to manage budgeting ect would be the best option. Trust me when I tell you that I never in my wildest dreams imagined I would be here. Her illness is very serious and we almost lost her twice. When you have a child with a mental illness you learn that keeping her alive trumps your own morality issues.
I hope this clarifies your impression of the situation and perhaps prior to assuming bad parenting you would take the time to inquire and not pass judgement in ignorance.
