Father doesn't know best
Father doesn't know best, court rules in girl's fight to get grounding overruled
TU THANH HA From Thursday's Globe and Mail June 19, 2008 at 4:05 AM EDT First, the father banned his 12-year-old daughter from going online after she posted photos of herself on a dating site. Then she allegedly had a row with her stepmother, so the father said his girl couldn't go on a school trip. The girl took the matter to the court - and won what lawyers say was an unprecedented judgment. Madam Justice Suzanne Tessier of the Quebec Superior Court ruled on Friday that the father couldn't discipline his daughter by barring her from the school trip. The judge's decision, made from the bench, applies only to the girl's unusual circumstances, lawyers for both sides said, trying to dispel visions of grounded teenagers rushing to the nearest courthouse to overturn their parents' punishments. Nevertheless, the case triggered an uproar in the Gatineau region of Quebec, near Ottawa, where the girl, her divorced parents and her stepmother live. Continued....

I agree with this quote in the article and think the whole decision was stupid
Even though the school trip is now over, the father is appealing the ruling because his moral authority over his child had been undercut by the court, said his lawyer, Kim Beaudoin. "He is stunned by this situation. He feels like he's lost his daughter," Ms. Beaudoin said in an interview.

A 12 yr old child posts photos of herself on an internet dating site and the learned lady judge pronounces:
...the judge found that depriving the girl of the school trip was an excessive punishment. The father will surely appeal this and the lunacy of the wacko judge and her equally wacko decision will see the appeal upheld. The judge should also be tested for substance abuse.
