Son Sues Mother Over Facebook Posts
Most kids hate having their parents join in on a discussion on Facebook, but one 16-year-old in Arkansas hates it so much he has filed suit against his mother, charging her with harassment. From the article: "An Arkadelphia mother is charged with harassment for making entries on her son's Facebook page. Denise New's 16-year-old son filed charges against her last month and requested a no-contact order after he claims she posted slanderous entries about him on the social networking site. New says she was just trying to monitor what he was posting." Seems like he could just unfriend her.
Parents have total power of attorney till the kid is eighteen or emancipated last I checked. He wants to sue, I would think he would have to first file to be an emancipated minor. At which point the parents are no longer responsable for his health or wellbeing.
Course I could be totally wrong. Its happened once before.

It looks like she's wearing a stiff helmet.

Where do you get "sues" and "files suit" from? Harassment is a criminal charge, not a civil one.
I've abandoned my search for truth; now I'm just looking for some useful delusions.
Where the hell does an accusation of racism come from? The flamebait mod from a moderator who did not appreciate the joke is understandable, but racism?
