Author	Topic: What's with Canada?
KGB Moderator	posted 06-19-2008 06:35 PM Okay, so, I know there's a lot of screwiness here for our Canadians to point at. Still. Are we in some kind of international dumb-off? quote: The father, who is divorced but has legal custody of his daughter, cut off her Internet access after she chatted on websites he had tried to block. She then used a friend’s Internet connection to post inappropriate pictures of herself, Beaudoin said. After discovering that, the father told his daughter she couldn’t go on the three-day school trip. According to Beaudoin, the daughter “slammed the door” and went to live with her mother, who was willing to let her take the trip. However, the school wouldn’t allow the girl to go unless both parents consented or she obtained a court order. That prompted the girl, with her mother’s support, to take legal action against her father, culminating in Friday’s ruling. According to Beaudoin, Tessier found that denying the trip was unduly severe punishment. The fact that the girl is now living with her mother also factored into the judge’s ruling, she said. The father, who is appealing the decision, was “devastated” by the ruling, Beaudoin said. He is refusing to take his daughter back “because he has no authority over her.” I'd run the judge out of town on a rail. [This message has been edited by KGB (edited 06-19-2008).] IP: Logged
SPQR Moderator	posted 06-19-2008 06:42 PM I was reading this in the newspaper earlier. I'd like to say it was an example of the silliness of Canada ( hey, what can I say, I'm a bigot according to the HRC ... ) but you will find stupidity like this in US family law courts too. Our family courts have destroyed the family structure. IP: Logged

KGB Moderator	posted 06-21-2008 01:58 PM New legal writ: Habeas bratus. Though I'm not sure I like the comparison to the Guantanamo decision. I thought SCOTUS made the wrong decision, but I still think the comparison may be trivializing. IP: Logged
