dear Ann Landers from time to time i have read your throw the bum usually it applies to a husband who is no what about kids i have tried to evict our 22 year old without he denies himself nothing and is in debt up to his this kid pays no room and contrib utes nothing by Way of work around the House and his room is a filthy he steals from his father and me and his Brothers and writes rubber the police say they cannot throw a son out of his Legal Resi Bell of Canada says there is no Way to prevent him from placing Lon distance Calls on our a i can do is refuse to accept his collect but he Doest Call he is it seems the Only Way to rid an otherwise Normal family of this sponge and Force him to accept responsibility for himself is to move away and lock him out of the this is not possible for a number of please consult your experts and find out if there is a solution to this problem or must we continue to accept the financial and emotional Drain hopefully desperate in dear hitch under the parents have no obligation to support a child who has reached his majority if that child is in Good mental and physical a can ask child to move out of the family if the child the parents can initiate a civil or criminal suit for i just telephoned someone eminently qualified in Canadian Law and was the same applies the parents can and should evict the so instead of being held hostage and
