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.
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.

This is what we have to look forward to if the UN gets it way with children's rights.

I'd tell the judge to go **** himself.

It's an old story. The divorced mother had gotten involved.

And that is relevant how?
The court still has no right telling that man how to discipline his child short of the threat of serious physical harm.

Removing the computer, TV and probably her cell phone would work for me along with no allowance.
A coworker told me her teenage son started crap with her and she told him if he ever took her to court she would drop him off at a governmental agency. He would not have his own room, his own TV, use of a car, etc. Respect/fear works.

What I meant to say is that the story has been going on for a while. My main point is that there was more to it than just the judge saying that. Another parent actually pushed this.

He should have told the judge "she is all yours then."

That's why I mentioned the UN in the OP. :-)

What's your point? It is still a case of the government meddling where it shouldn't. But then, I forget. With liberals there there is nothing that the government can't do better.

1) Was the daughter in serious jeopardy from the father's action?
2) What authority does the court have to intervene in a parent-child relationship?
3) Why are the courts inserting themselves in a spat between fomer spuses on how to best discipline a child?
All you're telling me so far is the court has become the tool of vindictive ex-wives and has totally destroyed reasonable parenting.

Totally obvious, and certainly not limited to Canada. The presumption of "the court" is that the male is always wrong. Period.
