6th Grader Sues Father over Grounding - And Wins

[Kiro]

That's not rebellious that's just fucking borderline retarded. Pack the fuckers' stuff up in the car, drive 'em to a hotel/motel/holiday inn and give 'em $500.

"GOOD LUCK BEING INDEPENDENT!"

And drive off to the titty bar.

[Seraph]

"If Christ exists, I will now proceed to beat him out of you."

I mean really. Shame on everyone in that courtroom except the father and his lawyer. 'Blame Canada' indeed...

[The Blackrose]

Sign over all forms of parental rights to the mother and mother only, write her out of the will and say sayonara. Let the mother deal with the dumb bitch for the rest of her life.

Do white people grow up with the line "go out back and get me a switch!", or is that a race specific childhood memory.

My mom did that to me every fucking weekend, I was always into some shit lol.

[ZarakiKujata]

Lol, dad went in like "ima teach this little slut a lesson". Then lost.

Seriously, what is this Western Civilization coming to?

fixed because lets face it, shit like this doesnt happen in Asia or Muslim countries were Sharia law is practiced.

Whats next? Spanking your kid gets you 18 to life?

I once served for an officer that went to court for child abuse due to spanking his kid after said kid attempted petty theft at a store. Not as severe as what you mention, but honestly, perhaps it would be best if you didn't give anyone ideas at this point? *sigh* The kid had no markings or the like on his skin ~ the child merely mentioned to his school teacher that his father had spanked him for the act and it exploded from there. It was a real shame to watch someone I had a lot of respect for go through that. The officer won the case, unlike this one, but the fact charges were filed will still be there, and his authority as a father was undermined by this sordid affair.

For those who really want it, if you link to the original article through the link I provided, there is another link to a Microsoft Office Document file that contains the court statement ~ its written in French though. Link To French / Google Translation

I read the translation before, and I still believe from how I read the court documentation that this is simply a case of mom and popping that the courts got involved in due to the child's request during an ongoing custody battle since the parents were separated/divorcing.

Speaking of giving ideas, I believe that the end will be nigh when someone sues the Mead paper company for getting a papercut when there are no warning labels on the packaging stating you could receive such an injury and instructing you on the proper use and handling of a piece of paper to insure such injury does not occur.

Humanity and society continue to fall further and further...

I think all parents should listen to the wisdom of Bender.

"Parents, have you ever shut off the T.V, sat down with your child, and beat em?"

Or something along those lines. Works every time.

[Fahren]

I can't even begin to image what my dad would do to me if I ever tried to sue him...

[Khamsin]

How did the kid afford such a good attorney, though? Can't be the parents' money, since if my kid asked if she could have a few thousand dollars for an attorney to sue me, I'd say no.

[Firedemon]

Quebec....enough said.

This daughetr will grow up and have sex with random strangres and do crystal meth unless the father gets with the program and punches her a few times. Tough love, I hope the bruises heal before the bitch can go to the police. The dad should have gotten his 9 iron and wacked some sense into that stupid bitches head. Lets see who the boss is when the left side of her face is broken and damaged beyond repair.

[Melchiah]

There's the fucking door, hoor

I lol'd pretty damn hard.

Because nothing says funny quite like child abuse

[chillin]

that's not child abuse, it's teaching that bitch a lesson so she'll grow up to be well adjusted and not a spoiled, out of control bitch. The dad in the OP is a lil pussy, you can't be afraid to smash your childs face in every once in a while to show them you're the dominant one.

Fuck the law, corporal punishment is how I was raised and I turned out fine. Aside from occasionally killing the dogs in my neighborhood and spontaneously crying, I mean. When I raise my kids, I'm going to beat the living shit out of them.

[HadesChubbs]

When a young gorilla acts out of line, they get smacked the fuck up. Do you see gorillas suing their parents? EXACTLY

[Snprphnx]

Do white people grow up with the line "go out back and get me a switch!", or is that a race specific childhood memory.

oh no, not race specific. And actually, if it was a fight between me and my bro or cousins, we had to get the switch that would be used on the other. We found out quickly that the thick, stiff switches hurt a lot less that the thin, flexible type. like the difference between a ruler vs a whip.

About the case. This would not happen in the US, at least not in a sane court. So long as no harm is being done to the child, the courts can't interfere with parental rights of raising a child. Not sure if the fucks in canada have this, but anytime during a divorce situation, any children of the couple are assigned a Guardian Ad Litem, a lawyer, social worker or trained volunteer to ensure that the childs best interests are met. They report to the court only.

You don't make that case well.

.

Is that before or after the hookers and blackjack?

Edit: on a serious note though, I agree with the other posters. I realize it's easier said then done, but I would sign over full custody to the parent, take the kid out of the will and never see either of them again.

[chillin]

You don't make that case well.

You giving me lip and being all sarcastic and shit; it's obvious you weren't raised right. Maybe if your dad shot you in the leg a few times with his rifle when you gave him lip like a little queer you would've learned better.
