The Idiots are Running the Asylum

Father doesn't know best, court rules in girl's fight to get grounding overruled


First, the father banned his 12-year-old daughter from going online after she posted photos of herself on a dating site. Then she allegedly had a row with her stepmother, so the father said his girl couldn't go on a school trip.
