Teen Thrown Out By His Own Parents Gets The Best Revenge Ever

Home is supposed to be a sanctuary. Sadly, though, a Florida teen named Seth Owen was robbed of that comfort after his parents threw him out of the house. Suddenly, his bright future seemed as though it was about to go up in smoke. And as he faced the prospect of life on his own, Seth was forced to make a bold move to survive.

Model student

Growing up in Florida, Seth seemed like a model son and student. But below the surface, his personal life was far from perfect. There was something he was hiding from his parents — and for good reason.

College dreams

Things were always great in the classroom, however. Since he had been a kid, Seth had made sure to study hard. He was going to do whatever it took to attend a good college. To him, that was the way he'd make his dreams come true.

Constantly learning

“I was the nerd in fifth grade who walked around recess talking about how I wanted to be an astronaut,” Seth said to NBC News in 2018. “I was always in a textbook, always in the library, always reading something.” Surely his parents were proud of him?

Snooping dad

Well, everything changed one evening during high school. While Seth was busy putting the finishing touches on a homework assignment, his dad opened up the teen's phone. And he found something he wasn't expecting on the device.
