Father sued by Gr 6 daughter - GM-Ayu - 04-10-2009
"Internet is serious business!" is no joke anymore, especially when they are trying to stop you from accessing the internet to post inappropriate pictures of yourself on it.
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.
'Either way, he doesn't have authority over this child anymore. She sued him because she doesn't respect his rules. It's very hard to raise a child who is the boss.'
? Kim Beaudoin, the father's lawyer
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."

... It's surprising a lawyer even took her case. <<
And in a big coincidence, the Simpsons episode that was on tonight, an hour ago, was the one where Bart filed for emancipation. XD

Gawd, the dad is so retarded though, no wonder his wife left him.

How is the dad retarded? XD
You could go to lawyer and ask them questions, and your father wouldn't know.

Letting his child takeover? That's retarded, he should've used some "persuasive" *cough* the leather belt *cough* treatments.
They do work, trust me = P

And added abuse to the charge?
Once she has even -consulted- a lawyer, which she could have done, without him even knowing, there's not much he can do to stop it.
