Court overturns father's grounding of 12-year-old


June 19, 2008 - 6:03AM

A Canadian court has lifted a 12-year-old girl's grounding, overturning her father's punishment for disobeying his orders to stay off the internet, his lawyer said.

The girl had taken her father to Quebec Superior Court after he refused to allow her to go on a school trip for chatting on websites he tried to block, and then posting "inappropriate" pictures of herself online using a friend's computer.

The father's lawyer Kim Beaudoin said the disciplinary measures were for the girl's "own protection" and is appealing the ruling.

The lawyer and the judge are both idiots, and the child is just a typical child. I can excuse her actions. The adults, however, are complete dumbasses. Rest assured, the child will also grow up to be a dumbass, in part due to this decision.

By the way, don't think this didn't have something to do with it.

Convention on the Rights of the Child

Wow this wasn't on The Onion? The fact that this is legit is... well...

It's unreal... I can't fathom the limits and restrictions being put on parents. Another reason in the long line of reasons I don't think I could stand to be a parent. Where does a judge even find the authority to rule on a case like this? I don't even know where to begin to point my anger... it's like none of this makes any sense.

Hell, I'd take it to appeals court or something if I was the father, run this through the bureaucracy until the trip is past.

Grounding

Is this serious? This chick is putting "inappropriate pictures" of herself on the internet and this dad is overruled in court for grounding her. Why is the judge basically allowing child pornography in overturning a father's disciplinary actions?

This quote is exactly on target.

What happens if the father had the audacity to protect his daughter from oh say a molester or something like that? Would he have gone to jail? I, for one, am applalled.


Judicial moron.

After seeing the thread title, I was expecting this to be set in CA.
Thankfully, it's not in the good ol' USA.

I can see where the Canadians get their moral authority to tell us how to operate our country and foreign policy! Their enlightenment is obviously light-years ahead of ours.

Another good reason why we should always defer to international courts and other country's rulings to make our own decisions. Our stupid constitution doesn't allow for this enlightened view that 12 year olds are perfectly capable of making life decisions on their own without their parents meddling in their affairs. Parents should just provide the creature comforts and stay the hell out of their kids' lives!

Not that I agree with the court's decision in Quebec - but the ruling was very narrow. It amounted to an allowance that the 12-year old daughter should have been allowed to go on a post "graduation" 3-day field trip with School supervision.

Which field trip, ironically, was long gone and done by the time this ruling came down. Which ruling makes no assertion that the other disciplinary measures (like no Internet access) are out of bounds.

Oh, and there is nothing (beyond the father's lawyers characterization) written there that states any of the pictures were "inappropriate" and certainly nothing that said they amounted child pornography - for all we know they could have been head and shoulders shots, which she placed on a dating site. Dumb beyond beleif, yes -but again that has nothing to do with the subject of the court ruling, except that incident prefaced the eventual spat leading to the no-school trip for you, which lead to the (untimely) Quebec Court ruling.
