12-Year-Old Sues Dad Over Grounding, And Wins
After finding "inappropriate" pictures of his daughter on the web, an exasperated father grounded his 12-year-old daughter and refused to allow her to go on a three-day school trip. Her response was to sue him, and guess what? She won.
In it's infinite wisdom, the Quebec Superior Court has ruled that the punishment meted out by the girls father was too severe and ruled in the minor child's favor. Even though this last episode is just the latest in a long string of transgressions, Justice Suzanne Tessier overturned the father's grounding.
LIke a lot of parents, the 12-year-old's father had banned access to certain web sites. The youngster by-passed the security settings her father had set to block her access, used one of her friend's computers to access those same sites, and posted pictures of herself that her are being described as "inappropriate for a child her age".
Kim Bedouin, who is the father's lawyer, said that the disciplinary measures taken were done in the interest of protecting the young girl and is planning an appeal.

The elephant in the room is why the fuck was a 12 year old girl posting suggestive pictures of herself on the 'net? And you wonder why dudes are getting locked up?
