How's it going all of you most amazing top 10ers?
I'm your host, Landon Dowlatsingh and welcome back to another most amazing top 10 video.
Sometimes instead of our parents looking out for our best interests, they take advantage
or do something so terrible that their own child is forced to sue them in court.
So let's take a look at the top 10 kids who sued their parents and won.
Starting us off in at number 10 with a Young Olympian.
Dominique Moceanu was the youngest member of the 1986 Women's US gymnastics team.
At the age of 17, she ran away from home and sued her parents for stealing her earnings
of over $1 million dollars.
She settled with them outside of court in order for her to gain her independence and
financial independence from them.
Today, she is worth about $2 million dollars and is married to a former gymnast who became
a surgeon.
Wow, it sounds like she did pretty good for herself.
Son sues his mother for hacking into his Facebook account and this makes it into number 9.
A 16 year old boy sued his mother for harassment because he claimed that she hacked his Facebook
account and posted slanderous and incriminating comments.
The mother was charged with a misdemeanor but she plans on appealing that charge.
Number 8 brings us to a Daughter who sued her father because he grounded her.
A 12 year old girl sued her father because he didn't allow her to go on a planned school
trip.
Her father grounded her because she broke his rules.
She went on the internet when she wasn't supposed to, she went onto adult sites that
he had blocked and she has been posting inappropriate pictures of herself onto social media.
Yeah, I'd say the father was right to ground his daughter.
Well the judge on this case ruled in favor of the daughter and now the 12 year old girl
is living with her mother and she is no longer speaking with her father.
The girl who sued her parents for posting embarrassing childhood pictures on Facebook
comes into number 7.
An 18 year old girl took her parents to court and wanted to sue them for posting over 500
pictures of her without her permission.
They posted pictures of her from when she was a toddler, all the way until she was 11
years old.
The pictures were of her sitting on the toilet and lying around naked.
The parents were ordered to remove the pictures and the daughter was financially compensated.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/09/14/austrian-teenager-sues-parents-for-violating-privacy-with-childh/ Number 6 takes us over to The daughter who
sued her parents for naming her Clamidya.
Yeah, I'd have to agree, this is a terrible name and she should change it immediately.
She was a victim of bullying and now she suffers from mental health issues because of her name.
Believe it or not but this woman is suing her parents for 4.8 million dollars.
The parents settled with her in court and Clamidya has since legally changed her name.
The son who sued his parents for a Bar Mitzvah gift comes in at number 5.
A son successfully sued his own mother for $5000 because she promised that she would
give him this money when he became a man at age 13.
Instead, the mother held onto the $5000 and put it into a different account and wanted
to give it to him when he was older.
Well, the judge ordered his mother to pay him the $5000 immediately because it should
have been given to him when he was 13.
Number 4 brings us to Leighton Meester.
You guys probably recognize her from her role on Gossip Girl.
Well you might be surprised to learn that she actually sued her mother and won.
Her mother Constance said that she needed help from her daughter to pay for her brother's
medical bills.
Leighton Meester sent her mother $7,500 a month in order to help pay for the costs.
Well, she later found out that her mother was actually using the money for her personal
expenses and on cosmetic procedures.
So, Leighton sued her mother in 2011 and she even claimed that her mother threatened to
sue her daughter for $3 million if she didn't raise the monthly allowance to $10,000.
Whoa, what kind of mother is this.
Macaulay Culkin makes it into number 3.
When the home alone star was just 15 years old, he sued his parents to remove them as
legal guardians because they were in charge of his $17 million-dollar fortune.
He was concerned that his parents weren't acting in his best interests and that they
were spending his money without his consent.
So the judge granted Macaulay Culkin independence from his parents and the family accountatnt
was ultimately put in charge of his finances until he turned 18.
Number 2 brings us to The case of Gregory K. Back in 1992, an 11 year old boy courageously
took his biological parents to court in order to get legally separated from them.
He had spent the majority of his life being homeless or bounced around so we wanted to
legally sue them for emancipation so that he could be adopted by a loving family who
wanted to take him into their care.
Gregory won his case and he was adopted by the other family and he changed his name to
Shawn.
The worst foster parents ever make it into number 1.
In 2005, a group of 11 foster kids were rescued from terrible living conditions.
They were forced to sleep in cages and they were tortured on a daily basis.
They were beaten with sticks, their heads were stuffed into flushing toilets and they
were hosed down outside in the winter.
The children eventually sued the departments of child protection and they were paid out
$2 million by one Ohio county and $1.2 million by another county.
This is such a sad story and even though they did receive a bunch of money, it will never
allow them to forget what they've been through.
Well there you guys have it…
