And I thought the courts in the United States had skewed priorities...
Canada is way worse.

I can't even imagine this being a real event. How in the hell does a child take their father to court to dispute disciplinary actions? What kind of bullshit is that?

But, as always, there's more to the story.

So...the father has legal custody and has remarried. The daughter and the stepmother don't get along (big surprise). And now the daughter is living with her mother.

Does anyone else smell interference from the girl's mother here? For a father to get custody of a child is usually pretty indicative that the mother is not exactly a mother of the year candidate (the good kind, that is). So when she saw a way to weasel her way back into her daughter's life and undermine his authority, I'll bet she was all over it.

I doubt she was actually "kicked out" by her father. It probably went down more like this: "Sure, you can come live with me, sweetie. Of course I'll let you go on the trip and chat with your friends and post whatever you want on myspace."

Who can blame him?

Goddamn liberals are undermining the future with this shit.

Well Holy Shit!
That is so fucked up.



What's the odds the child's lawyer is also woman............. either trying to make a name for herself, or one of the 'man bashing' lesbians.
I see the Judge was a woman!


I pity this man, being a responsible father and then purposefully undermined by the State.
I mean, every child protection organisation constantly preach the necessity to protect and supervise our children as regards the internet.
As you rightly point out, for him to have custody isn't necessarily a reflection of him being a great father, it's a reflection of the child's mother being an incompetent bitch.
Social Services and the Courts will always do whatever they can to keep a child with it's mother. The father is merely the last resort.

But this man, by his actions, proved himself to be caring and protective father.
What a disgrace the 'system' has let him down.
And that's not even mentioning the 'knock-on' effect for every other father.


Any wonder society is in a mess.

Damn I hate it when I end up agreeing with Father Ted. Society is a mess. Being a father is the same as being a second class citizen, in any sort of dispute over whom gets the child.

I guess Canada supports underage girls posting inappropriate pictures of themselves, eh?

I hope this sort of nonsense doesn't trickle down to the U.S. The last thing I need is Erica threatening to take me to court because I took away her computer time. Of course she would never make it to court because I would have her locked up in the basement.
