For any judge to say what is too extreme of punishment for a rule broken in my home is absurd. This man was grounding his daughter from a class trip because she was not only spending time on websites he found inappropriate for his daughter she was also posting inappropriate pictures of herself. She is 12. This father was protecting his daughter and some screwball judge says that he can't enforce his house rules. This is a sad sick ruling. Now of course I am no advocating abuse, but grounding is certainly not abuse.

This ruling just points on the need for the Parental Rights Amendment. The UN is already trying to get the US to ratify the The Children's Bill of Rights. This sounds very innocent, however there are some disturbing, number 5 on the list is the right to media access. I am a firm believer that I am here to protect my children and not all media is appropriate for children. As a parent I am best able to determine what is appropriate for my child's maturity. Number 7, the right to privacy. I agree you need to give children some privacy, but once again in order to protect and teach my children they are not given the same amount of privacy as an adult. Anyone who has raised children realized privacy is something that increases with age. My favorite is number 10 freedom of association. This one is the most absurd. Taken to the extreme, if a child wants to be part of a gang or cult, the parents are just suppose to smile and let it happen. This is the most insane idea I have ever heard. As a parent it is my job to protect and teach my child. To say I should not have some say over who they associate with is ludicrous.

We need to stand with our leaders and encourage them to support the Parental Rights Amendment. We can not allow this craziness to move into the US. Anyone who has raised a child or taken even a single parenting class knows that children need boundaries. Without boundaries, there is no center. When children understand the rules and consequences they are more peaceful. It is crazy to say children should be able to do whatever he or she wants. Please talk to your legislators and share your support of the Parental Rights Amendment!
