I can't believe they took the authority away from the parents! How can a 12 year old take thier parent(s) to court? There was no crime committed except I guess the inapropriat pictures! This child, lawyer, and judge should all get a good old fashion butt belt woopin' for this! That is probably the whole reason this child disobeyed her father to begin with, the father probably hasn't used a belt in quite a while or ever, this is the same reason kids are spoiled now, the parents are too scared to use a belt becouse the child will scream child abuse. There is a difference, you can woop a child when they do wrong without breaking the skin, a few red marks and maybe a small bruise just shows the parent is doing its job, but breaking the skin is too far. The kid needs to cry and scream, then give them something to cry about! Don't do it out of anger do it out of love and let them know it! They won't understand until they get older but by #ell they will begin to listen and obey! ...........This was the tactics my Mom used on me and I turned out alright!
