| Daughter Sues Dad for Grounding Her
http://news.sympatico.msn.cbc.ca/Hom...howbyline=True Quote: A Quebec father who was taken to court by his 12-year-old daughter after he grounded her in June 2008 has lost his appeal.
Quebec Superior Court rejected the Gatineau father's appeal of a lower court ruling that said his punishment was too severe for the wrongs he said his daughter committed.
The father is "flabbergasted," his lawyer Kim Beaudoin told CBC News.
In its ruling, issued Monday, the province's court of appeal declared the girl was caught up in a "very rare" set of circumstances, and her father didn't have sufficient grounds to contest the court's earlier decision.
The family's legal wrangling started with a dispute over the girl's internet use.
She had been living with her father after her parents split up when he grounded her in 2008 for defying his order to stay off the internet. The father caught her chatting on websites he had blocked, and alleged his daughter was posting "inappropriate pictures" of herself online.
Her punishment: she was banned from her Grade 6 graduation trip to Quebec City in June 2008, for which her mother had already granted permission.
The father ? who had custody ? withheld his written permission for the trip, prompting the school to refuse to let the girl go with her classmates.
That's when the girl asked for help from the lawyer who represented her in her parents' separation, and petitioned the court to intervene in her case.
"Going to court was a last resort," said Lucie Fortin, a legal aid attorney who represented the girl. "The question was that there was a problem between the father and the mother, and the child asked the court to intervene because it was important to her.
"The trip was very important to her."
Legal battle destroyed father-daughter relationship
A lower court ruled in the girl's favour in 2008. She went on the trip, but her father appealed the decision on the principle of the matter.
He doesn't have regrets, his lawyer said.
"Either way, he doesn't have authority over this child anymore. She sued him because she doesn't respect his rules," Beaudoin said. "It's very hard to raise a child who is the boss."
The girl ? who now lives with her mother ? doesn't have much of a relationship with her dad now, Beaudoin said.
"We went from a child who wanted to live with her father, and after all this has been done, they're not speaking anymore."
"We have a lot of work to re-establish a link between those two."
Beaudoin believes the ruling reflects a loss of moral authority in Quebec's court system.
"Is this what we want in our society? Laws are supposed to reflect our values. And if the courts aren't reflecting that, maybe the government will, to prevent children from going this way," she said Tuesday, adding her client may take the case to Canada's Supreme Court.
In its Monday ruling, the appeal court warned the case should not be seen as an open invitation for children to take legal action every time they're grounded.

Asian=parents would kill the child
Black=Kid doesn't even know who the fuck his/her father is
Mexican=he/she will just jump a fence and run to some other country
fuck too late to think of anymore.
But to stick on topic, fuck this girl, who the hell sues their father for being grounded, oh shit can't go on a trip I think I"m going to fuck my father over for revenge. Also she's in grade 6 why is she posting pictures of herself on the internet, probably hasn't even hit puberty yet.

she was suing to get legal permission to go on the trip, as without legal consent the school can't take her due to legal liability if she were to get hurt while on the trip...
there is no monetary award... as there was no monetary loss...
this isn't the states, not everything is about money.

I would think that the mother is involved in all of this, if not the cause. The kid is in grade 6... what kind of lawyer would listen to a kid? There's probably a lot of hate between the mother and father, and the mother just used the grounding as an excuse to give the father more grief.

This legal precedent is seriously going to mess up anyone who tries to ground their kid now.
I always thought minors do NOT have the same rights as adults..  | |

absolutely ridiculous
if I were to try to sue my dad for grounding me (which he never does, he just beats me),
I wouldn't live to go to court.
If I were the father, I'd fucking kick her down a flight of stairs and then roll a bookshelf down after her. Then I'll say it was by accident.

I'd stop paying child support.
If the kid wants her own rules, then she can pay for herself.

this is fucked up on so many levels..
1) Why the fuck are they wasting our public funding on this? They have any idea how much each court case costs the public?
2) How did the judge come up with the decision? What is considered excessive punishment? Is there a chart that you can now refer to on how a child who broke the rule should be punished?
3) Why are they siding with the daughter? What kind of example are the setting for other children? They will always get things their ways and if not, they will sue their parents?
4) Why would a lawyer even take this case in the first place...(well maybe yes, since he is probably quite famous now) How is the 12 years old gonna pay for his fees? Is he gonna bill her father?
I can't imagine how heart broken the father must be...

what the fuck? That is going too far. The court should have no control over a parental decision. I understand stepping in when abuse is present, but the kid broke the rules and is supposed to pay the price. Every kid goes through that. I'd really like to know what the judge was thinking when he awarded the case to the kid.

Wrong on so many levels
-the father's a little bitch
-that kid needs a beating
-the mother's a moron for letting it go so far and probably still letting her kid post "inappropriate pics" online
-who knows what the hell the judge was thinking when that decision was made
-the lawyer's an idiot for even taking the case
-they wasted a lot of tax dollars on court time and legal aid for the daughter
The mother was probably looking for a way to humiliate the father for something that happened in the past/bad relationship.
