OTTAWA (AFP) - 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 Wednesday.

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.

Wow, way to go Canadian court! Thanks from parents everywhere!
:slap:

[T3ngu]

Canucks leading the way.

[ren0312]

Should not this be in Other Topics and HUMOR?

[PeterRJG]

Mind-blowingly stupid decision, at prima facie. There could be more to this, obviously, but as things stand, rate this particular decision R for retarded.

[Calanen]

Just overturning the grounding! That's not enough. I think she needs some damages to compensate for the injury incurred BY THE GROUNDING! You with me hank?

Oh you just made the short list man.

[Calanen]

I think I needs to book me an infomercial on late night TV.....

[AmericanAirman]

So can parents start suing kids then? They should be able to if this can happen...(reference 17 pregnant pact thread)

[LRPV]

Oh you just made the short list man.

Wait in line sunshine.....He's closer to me than you... .308 dialled in..


Hey Calanen....need a lawyer...rofl

The judge probably wanted to add her to his friends list.

[Laworkerbee]

I can't believe a court even bothered taking this case up.

[BonesBrigade]

**** must be good in Canada if the only things the supreme court is taking up is the grounding of a 12 year old.:|

Hopefully, they will soon hear Mark Steyn's case. But with this kind of nonsense, I won't get my hopes up. WTF is wrong with the legal establishment in this country?

[deagle]

why doesn't the govt let parents do their job (what laws were really broken, and how "inappropriate" were the pics ?). next thing you know govt will try to control our lives (oh wait it might be too late).

[Rudolph]

This is so so sad...

[angry cow]

I'm betting the court was more upset with the 12 year old not being in school than the father's grounding the child.

[hank]

Just overturning the grounding! That's not enough. I think she needs some damages to compensate for the injury incurred BY THE GROUNDING! You with me hank?

Clearly. Pain and suffering, loss of companionship, etc. I see a big verdict.

Stuff like this makes me shake my head. There has to be more to the story but WTF?

Supreme Court in Canada is the trial level. Its the first level for courts there.

[Adux]

Dont solve the Kanishka, Judicial incompetence of the highest order, yet has time for this?

[Lambert58]

The judge obviously doesn't have kids.

[kerfuffled]

As a parent and a Canadian I would just like to point out the story sez "Quebec Superior Court". I will not be lumped together with these idiots.:bash:
