Court overturns father's grounding of 12-year-old
June 19, 2008 - 6:03AM
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.
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.

The lawyer and the judge are both idiots, and the child is just a typical child. I can excuse her actions. The adults, however, are complete dumbasses. Rest assured, the child will also grow up to be a dumbass, in part due to this decision.
By the way, don't think this didn't have something to do with it.

So, you think she's OK in disobeying her father and posting "inappropriate" photos of herself? Seriously?
