Court quashes dad's grounding of 12-year-old daughter

Story here. Excerpt:

'A father plans to appeal after a Quebec court ruled that he didn't have the right to punish his 12-year-old daughter by barring her from a school trip.

Quebec Superior Court Judge Suzanne Tessier ruled Friday that the girl should be allowed to attend the three-day trip within Quebec this week.

Initially, the father forbade his daughter from going online after the Grade 6 student posted photos on a dating site, the Globe and Mail reported in its Thursday edition.

The girl's parents are divorced, and after she had an alleged row with her stepmother, her father barred her from going on a school trip to mark the class's graduation from elementary school, the newspaper reported.

...
Two days later, the judge ruled the punishment was too severe because the girl had already been sufficiently disciplined, Beaudoin said.

Beaudoin said the judge also said there was no reason for the punishment to stand, since the girl was now living with her mother, even though the father has custody.

Beaudoin said the father, who has four children, was "devastated," especially since the ruling came days before Father's Day.'

Look around and see what the results are when the courts "raise children" - they are cupable in the millions of kids raised without a father in today's society.

We need to hold these courts accountable for the destruction of our once healthy society.

If a judge told me I couldnt' discipline my own child, I'll tell him/her where to go and how to get there. Since when did the discipline of children in a peaceful way become any concern of the courts? And this took place in Canada, to boot. Way to make me ashamed to be Canadian, Canadian injustice system!
