Poll: 12 year old girl wins case against dear old Dad for grounding...

[Bored Tomatoe]

Disown her, we'll see how she likes total freedom.

Seriously. If this were my kid, I'd just be like, "You don't wanna follow my orders? Fine, fuck you. Go live on the street - I hear rape is the new 'how do you do?'"

Hmmm, I like the way you think... *sharpens rusty shovel*

I can't take any credit - I was inspired by you.
I'm serious, though. If I ever accidentally have a kid, (and it would be an accident, especially if it survived the abortions,) it would never disobey me.
Ever. I would strike fear into its' very soul.

A rusty shovel would be a useful tool for such a task.

Utterly ridiculous my good man.
Shovels, rusty or not, are for sodomizing THREATENING those who displease you greatly.
A good ol' fashioned pumpkin attached to a pole will do a fine job of punishing your child.
When the pumpkin breaks, you know you've beat them enough.

(ps anyone who takes anything I say seriously should stop breathing now and save the air for someone more deserving)

I don't think anyone is that stupid, also, a pillow case full of oranges hurts like hell and leaves no bruises...

Does it say anywhere in the article what she sued him for????? Or maybe I just missed it, but I'm entirely confused. What does the girl win? lol

 

[RollForInitiative]

Is it just me, or is this an absolutely retarded story?

My apologies to Canadians in advance- though this one happened on your watch, two morons does not a population make-

No apologies needed. It's in Quebec. No Canadian worth their salt actually considers Quebec to be part of their country.

I'd kick her out. Little brat wants to be a big *****, she can freeze to death for all I'd care.

Now I just need a cape and a cane and a British accent and I can finally be like my hero.

Jack the Ripper?

I read that article and thought "If this lawsuit BS keeps up, especially on a global scale, anarchy is gonna follow and then there'll be no laws and thus no lawsuits, hopefully ending that craziness."

Seriously, I'm worried about these younger generations and their damn issues. The future doesn't look very bright with news like this, among others.

The ability to go on a trip to Quebec City- she stated that not going on the trip, despite the fact that her father had grounded her for breaking house rules (what rule exactly is unrevealed (EDIT: READ MY UPDATE BELOW)but it had something to do with use of the home internet connection), would be detrimental to her growth and development. All joking aside, SHE WON.

 

[Lonan]

Wow. That guy should proably fire that lawyer.

Only problem is, how CAN you defend that case if it allowed to go to arbitration?

Good point. But the real big question is Where did she get a lawyer to represent her.

Any lawyer will represent if you give them money. Whole reason you get the running joke about them all going to hell....

Do you belive 6th grader has enough money to hire a lawyer. Chances are a relative picked up the bill.

I'll bet it was her mother.

UPDATE: (in case you didn't read this part)

Looked further into article...according to dad, girl had been chatting on websites he had banned because he caught her posting inappropriate pics of herself online...

 

[xChevelle24]

There is only one reaction I can possible musker up to equal the amount of fail in this case.

/facepalm.

I hear you loud and clear buddy...

Growth and Development on the horrors and scarring of the Internet. Ah, those were the days when I thought the internet was a place of sunshine and happiness.....


I bet she did the classic thing my one nephew did at that age. Stayed up all night on the internet playing games, or if the father is a strict person it maybe that she had a time limit in place..

Now, I am more WTF.... wow.... So the courts in essence are supporting Child Pornography?

Go Quebec. Go go you crazy half-french/half-canadians.

He should change the locks while she's away, then. If indeed she's still living in his house?[/quote]

UPDATE: Dad allegedly caught her posting inappropriate pictures of herself online and banned the site. She went into the site anyway and was grounded-

This father-daughter relationship is now completely destroyed- she's probably living with mom now, and he's probably changing his locks and looking forward to freedom.

It should be the parent's job to discipline the child for wrongdoing. She obviously broke a rule, so dad should be able to punish her (well, not physical punishment, of course). It reminds me of parents who complain and argue with teachers simply because their child didn't do well enough to pass the class. There are obviously exceptions, but for the most part it should not happen.

After all the discussion on the case of the 14 year old American who killed herself over this...I figured the Escapist would love to tee-off on this lunacy.

Just what I said before (and I will post this as many times as possible)-

To think this is what happens with the global education system every single day.

Teacher tells student what assignment/behavior/guidelines to do...
Student doesn't want to do assignment/behavior/guidelines...
Teacher calls parent...parent is "unavailable"...student knows this...
Student doesn't do assignment/behavior/procedure/guideline...
Teacher lowers student's grade or writes office referral (depending on situation)...
Student complains to parents...
Parents come back to teacher....
Teacher relents or Administration changes student's grade (or rebukes teacher's referral because parents- who are unavailable- were not contacted before referral was written)...

Student learns that classroom guidelines are a joke...administrators don't understand why students are being referred to office...
