What in the hell???

That ruling is complete *********. And so is the "reasoning" behind it.

 

[TXBabe97]

This is ridiculous. What a horrible precedent.

Let's contrast this with the 10-year-old girl who had to petition for a divorce! Who's the spoiled brat here?

He could always lock her in his basement.

 

[DigglerontheHoof]

She needs a good spanking. What a brat.

I hope everyone realizes that's in Quebec, and based on a fairly specific law that we sure as **** don't have in Texas.

Lucie Fortin, the lawyer representing the 12-year-old, said the judge found that depriving the girl of the school trip was an excessive punishment.

She said the girl has already been forbidden to use the Internet and her father also punished her by cancelling her participation in an extracurricular event.

There's no Canada like French-Canada, it's the best Canada in the land!

Chick judge making an afterschool special moment rather than respecting the jurisdiction of the father.

I would calmly tell my daughter that if she goes on the trip, she can spend the rest of the summer living with her attorney or the judge.

Even with the FLDS, Branch Dividians and cheerleader moms, I'd take Texas over Canada. F Canada.

 

[HornHuskerDad]

Unbelievable...

HHD

This isn't surprising; it's the same country where the government decides how many GB you can download to your PC per month.
