Canadian Government Stomps on Parental Rights

A twelve year old Canadian girl was grounded by her father for posting inappropriate pictures of herself online and chatting on websites that her father had tried to block.

As unsafe as the Internet is for children, this would normally be considered to be protecting your child as a conscientious parent.

The little girl didn’t thing so, so she took her dad to court. She used a court appointed lawyer to take her father to the Quebec Superior Court.

Justice Suzanne Tessier ordered the girls father to allow her to go on the school field trip from which she was banned.

Wow. I am almost speechless. The Canadian government now has so little respect for their citizens that they have now taken direct control of normal parenting decisions. How do the Canadian people accept such tyranny?

And what of the little girl? She must now be fully aware that she is without completely discipline. Will the Canadian government accept responsibility when she “matures” from an unruly 12 year old to an absolutely unfit 18yr old? When does the Quebec Superior Court decide is a good time for a 12yr old to go to bed? What clothes does the court feel that her parents should provide for her? What music does the court feel that a 12y old should be allowed to listen to? What boys will Superior Court Justice Tessier approve for the young girl to date? Where does the madness stop.

Thankfully, at the moment, this madness stops at the U.S. border. Our government, power mad as it may be, has yet to step this foolishly into this aspect of the lives of private citizens. Let’s hope that we don’t follow our Northern friends into this horrible folly.
