Beer is the reason: The judge and the appeals judge must have been drinking some stuff to actually rule in favor of the child.
Okay a little back ground. Divorced parents. Kid lives with the dad, Mom okays field trip. Kid breaks Dads rule of internet usage. Punishes child by revoking permission to go on field trip. Child sues parent. Child wins suit on the argument that "the Trip was very important to her". Appeals court upholds decision but says to not use this case as an example for future cases. WTF! WTF! WTF! Y'know all those law shows on TV now? Law & Order being one of the biggest ones? How do they build their spotty cases? PRECEDENT! You stupid ass brainless shit heads on the BAR, you've just taken away a parents ability to discipline their own children, by non physical means, since you've already emasculated parents by practically outlawing spanked bottoms, now you take away the right to control their own homes?! Fuck this. If that was my kid and she did that, you know what the first thing I would say to the court, to the damn judge? "You just put another child into a FOSTER HOME". If she was my kid, I may love you but I will NOT put up with that shit of dragging my ass to court over something they should keep their damn fingers out of.
I can see it now. Kids sue parents over, "bubblegum. Candybar, Eating vegetables. Keeping drugs out of the house. Turning off the tv. etc etc etc."
But then again what am I thinking? This if f'ing QUEBEC we're talking about. Y'know the province that holds the rest of the country for ransom with their separtism bullshit.
Let's hope that the Supreme Court actually does the right thing, overturn this ridiculous ruling, rips off the heads of the two Quebec judges and spits down theirs necks in the name of all parents out there.
