Tyson Steele, 30, was rescued after living o hard life for 23 days by Alaska State Troopers at his remote farmhouse approximately 70 miles outside of Skwentna-miles and miles from the nearest road system.

“I have been living alone there for several months. One day the roof of my cabin caught fire after I burned a ‘big piece of cardboard’ in my stove. I managed to take out a handful of supplies from my burning cabin but most of my possessions didn’t make it. My phone was dead with no way to charge it. ” Steele said to police later.

After his cabin was burned to ruins, Steele was trapped in the snow. “I just climbed into that dark cave and slept, ” he said. “I slept for a really long time. And it was warm, at least warmer than the outside.” His next goal was to build a shelter that was a little more comfortable. He collected a tarp and some waste wood to build a tent-like shelter around the stove that had once heated his cabin.

Tyson Steele recalled, “Once I got the second shelter built, I kept a fire in the stove constantly. And I basically used that to heat up my food. It was not about keeping the shelter warm, because it basically just took that edge off. The bucket which was only a couple feet away from this fireplace froze at night. That gave me an idea. It was by no means a comfortable place. I could still see my breath, but at least l wasn’t suffering. ”

Alaska State Troopers said when the 30-year-old was discovered, he was conveyed by helicopter to the Alaska State Trooper’s Aircraft Section Hangar at Lake Hood. Rescuers set him up with a shower and fulfilled his request for a McDonald’s Combo Meal #2: Steele told police his plans, for now, were to go to Salt Lake City to be with his family.

When Amy and Tom Smith posted a video to TikTok explaining how they would be charging their then 18-year-old daughter Mary rent, the video went spread quickly and the reaction was different.

One follower called it a “punishment”. Another said: “I don’t see anything wrong with it. It helps children learn responsibility.” While a third added: “Definitely no, that’s their home.”

Despite the mixed response, Tom was sure they’d made the right decision. “This is our way of preparing her,” he told Newsweek. “Part of becoming an adult is knowing that you have to either pay rent or you’ll have a house payment. Our hope is that by doing all this, we’re preparing her for the world.” The couple charged Mary $200 a month while renting a local apartment costs $634 a month. “If she were living separately, Mary would be making a much higher payment,” Amy added.

According to a recent survey conducted by Red-field & Wilton Strategies for Newsweek, around 57 percent of the 1,500 US adults surveyed were in favor of charging for the privilege (优惠待遇), even if their parents “do not need the money”. Only 28 percent felt that adult children should live rent-free.

Jessica Griffin, associate professor of psychiatry and pediatrics (精神病学和儿科) at the University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School, said, “Charging your adult child rent can be good for your long-term relationship. As well as easing any financial burdens caused by their homecoming, it sets healthy boundaries, stops your child from becoming too comfortable and gives them the added motivation to leave the home and have an independent, autonomous lifestyle,” he added.
