    I cannot believe a court actually agreed to hear a case like this. Crazy Québécois ...

    http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20080618...94Yf2tALADW7oF

    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.

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

    "She's a child," Beaudoin told AFP. "At her age, children test their limits and it's up to their parents to set boundaries."

    "I started an appeal of the decision today to reestablish parental authority, and to ensure that this case doesn't set a precedent," she said. Otherwise, said Beaudoin, "parents are going to be walking on egg s s from now on."

    "I think most children respect their parents and would never go so far as to take them to court, but it's clear that some would and we have to ask ourselves how far this will go."

    According to court do ents, 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.

    Beaudoin noted the girl used a court-appointed lawyer in her parents' 10-year custody dispute to launch her landmark case against dear old dad.

    I hope this is a ing joke. To even entertain this is a complete waste of ing time. You can't benchmark a degree of punishment when she's a minor, nothing should ever be considered unfair. I'll ground you for just looking funny and you'll god damn like it.

    Oh wait its Canada well that explains it.

    This is what happens when bleeding-heart feminists are in charge.

    I'm glad this was in Canada and not the U.S. Feminists already ed up the school system, we don't need them to up anything more.

    I don't know. You guys don't think this might have something to do with it?

    It's up to the judge to make a qualified decision on what the outcome is going to be.

    The judge decided, in her great and glorious judgement, that it was wise to side with a child.

    The way Canada is right now -- if this were a Moslem family, the court would likely not have touched this case. Even if the girl were being beaten and married off to her 30-year-old cousin!

    Hey, this is the country where you can commit felonius assault and only spend 5 minutes in a little Plexiglass cell so long as you're wearing ice skates when you do it.

    The people of the province of Alberta, and their 1+ trillion barrels of oil, need to be liberated from the nanny-state oppression in Ottawa. After seeing the fallout of the Russia/Georgia war, I am confident nobody in the world would do anything about it if we invaded and annexed them. First we need the CIA to start a separatist movement in Alberta though.
