I'd like to see them try this garbage 'round these parts! I am just absolutely astonished that a 12 year old can take her folks to court to appeal her grounding due to behavior her parents deemed inappropriate... and the court lifts her grounding!
Unbelievable. Since when does the government get to decide the most appropriate manner in which to raise your dang kids? Freaks.
*edit* Oh, it's Canada. Seems in line with some of their other social views.

This sums up what it's like in Canada :devil

According to court documents, the girl's Internet transgression was just the latest in a string of broken house rules. Even so, Justice Suzanne Tessier found her punishment too severe.
Don't really think it's up to her to decide. But then it's a socialist-nanny state so it doesn't surprise me.

LOL! Just watched a whole bunch of his. Thanks for posting that. He was hilarious. I'm not even all mad anymore about the 12 year old grounding thing!

Well it was learned from the sue happy Amerkins. :D
Oh, and it not Canada but Quebec that the suit was originated in. The Feds don't dare do anything to have the les habitants upset.
Also the Superior Court Justice is a female. Nough said.

Wow.

You think you own your kids but you don't. The state just lets you raise them until they see something they don't like.

I'm sure it won't be long before some freaking lawyer in the US uses this case as a precedent to get a similar ruling and the subsequent publicity. I've already heard it said that some in the legal "system" want the US courts to consider laws from other countries in making decisions on US law.
That ruling is pure unadulterated male bovine excrement. What is even sadder is that the court and, not surprisingly a lawyer, had the gall to actually hear the case instead of telling little miss dipstick to grow up.

There's a lawyer for every case. In fact, I'd wager that there probably a couple dozen. When there is no case, making one up is a fine and acceptable alternative. Some lawyers I have known make careers out of finding issues where there were none... Ever seen somebody try to convince a plaintiff that they are, in fact, a plaintiff?

for chatting on Web sites and then posting "inappropriate" pictures of herself online using a friend's computer, AFP reported.
Thats the part that throws me... she's FREAKIN 12!
Shouldn't that be more of the focus of the case???

Oh yeah slipknot I have. I had more than one lawyer decide to try and get in the middle of a situation to hand the guy being arrested a business card. I also had some come up and try to start representing the "client" while the situation was still being figured out or if there really was a criminal situation at all.

Deep inside every ambulance chaser is a sanctimonious, self-serving crusader fighting to get out.

The grounding punishment was denial for a school trip. I had to sign allowing my kids to do just about anything outside of the normal school day. Be interesting to see what this father would write on a permission slip for the outting.
