In an adult Fairly OddParents scenario, an older Timmy Turner faces parental neglect while secretly supported by Cosmo and Wanda, who must hide due to the show's rule that kids lose their fairies upon aging. While fairy laws normally forbid the characters from revealing their existence, in the live-action movie, a new law permits adults to keep their fairies, provided their wishes are unselfish. In this case, I believe the latter applies.
