Parents Beware.
Quick little roundup of stories I saw today:
- A father was having trouble with his 12-year-old daughter's internet use and ordered her to stop surfing. She disobeyed and posted inappropriate pictures of herself, so he grounded her from going on a school outing. Sounds reasonable so far, right? Too bad they live in Canada, where the girl was able to retain an attorney and find a judge to rule that staying home from an outing was "excessive" punishment for the crime <via WND>.
- Again in Canada, a case of suspected sexual abuse was opened for an 11-year-old autistic girl...because the case worker saw a psychic who told her a girl with the initial "V" was being abused. There was no other evidence besides the psychic's, um, report, but the mother had to defend herself in an investigation <via WND>.
- And finally, a couple has been sentenced to three months in jail...for homeschooling. No, for now this couple isn't from California <although we might be seeing that story soon>, they're German <via WND>.
