Quebec Superior Court judge Suzanne Tessier has ruled invalid a father’s mundane punishment of a disobedient child.  The father grounded his 12-year-old daughter after she repeatedly violated his instructions.  Instead of throwing a temper tantrum, however, the girl sued—and won.

Welcome to the brave new world of judicial “human rights” activism.

A Canadian court has lifted a 12-year-old girl's grounding, overturning her father's punishment for disobeying his orders to stay off the Internet, his lawyer said Wednesday.

The girl had taken her father to Quebec Superior Court after he refused to allow her to go on a school trip for chatting on websites he tried to block, and then posting "inappropriate" pictures of herself online using a friend's computer.

The father's lawyer Kim Beaudoin said the disciplinary measures were for the girl's "own protection" and is appealing the ruling.

Doesn’t Quebec have any real criminal trials for Madam Justice Tessier to preside over?
