before Canadians freak the f*ck out, read the link and tell me I'm coming out of left field.

Court overturns a parent's disciplinary decision. 12 yr old actually took this to court? holy **** dude!

    How about this one :

    "An Ontario mother of an autistic girl is considering legal action against her local school board after a psychic's prediction to a special educational assistant sparked a sexual abuse report to the Children's Aid Society.

    "I'm in shock," said Colleen Leduc, 38, of Barrie, north of Toronto. "They reported me to Children's Aid because of a psychic. Can you imagine?""


    It's a crazy world, man.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    in the Psyhic case, at leas the equivalent of Child services (CAS) had the common sence to drop the investigation quickly based on how silly the report was, gotta give any governmental agency points for actually acting with common sense.

    as for the school reporting it, that was CYA taken to a ridiculous level.

    I still think the court thing is worse.....I mean a 12 yr old doesnt like being grounded, and can have a case heard in court? seriously?

    Yeah I agree. Not only was the case heard, BUT THE KID WON. Absolute insanity.

    I don't know about Canada, but 'corporal punishment ' will result in CAPITAL punishment for parents in places like MA.:eek:
    I refuse to argue with idiots, because people can't tell the DIFFERENCE!
