She should still be grounded, but still allowed to go on the school trip only.

Beaudoin {the dad's lawyer} noted the girl used a court-appointed lawyer in her parents' 10-year custody dispute to launch her landmark case against dear old dad.
Is it interesting there is a 10-year custody dispute. Seems to me daughter-dear certainly has the being manipulative learned.

Imagine how deadly she will be when she gets a man....

So is the court going to start paying the internet bills, her food and clothing bills, etc....If not, the man should be able to have rules in his own house.

I have a feeling the mom is involved with this. But the thing is, if the mom allows the kid to do this at her house, then the mom is an unfit mother.

Only in Canada. The link isn't working for me but it sounds like this girl took her dad to court because he grounded her? whats next? Have they started taking fat kids away from their parents under grounds of child abuse or endangerment?
