Oh and I wouldn't trust the article.

It does us the favor of linking to the actual court transcript though. The actual facts will be in there.

It's difficult to discuss the child without revealing your own personal bias.

Kind of like reporting on Burma/Myanmar.

or Kyiv vs Kiev

I've grown used to saying they for the gendered pronouns, but it was hard on the wiring.

I read the transcript before I posted the link.

No one, however, seems to have bothered to read it before declarin' the site biased and the story as suspect.

That's why I kept askin': is the story wrong?

I knew/know the answer.

Do you?

I just skimmed the transcript and the facts are essentially true.

It's a Jerry Springer episode.

The dad feels like he's fighting for a principle, but he's losing his family in the process.

Seems to me: the dad simply loves his daughter and desperately wants to stop her from injuring herself.

I think you're right but we don't know if what he's attempting to do is best for her. Brass balls does not equal crystal balls.

We know this: if dad were to prevail, his daughter, at the worst, is stymied only till she reaches the age of majority. We also know, based on posts and links in this very thread, if she is allowed to proceed, she may be doin' herself long-term, mebbe irreversible, injury.

In context: what seems best for her is clear.
