What does being a child have to do with anything?
It IS a freedom of speech issue the moment he got fined. Might as well be in kommie China if you can't say what you think.

More inane stupidity from someone who doesn't bother to read their own daily news.

In before "Oh, but that's different." BULL!

American History is rife with examples of speech being prohibited and prosecuted:

Then we need to outlaw posting pics of kids on Facebook, and anywhere on the internet. Publicizing photos of children may be allowing them to get the wrong kind of attention. Children cannot consent to having their photos or videos of them put on public display.

I know I can't say whatever I want.
I also know that my country's owners are using our Constitution for toilet paper. They want nothing more than to do away with the first and second amendments altogether.

Tasteless but there should be no fine involved. That infringes on one's freedom of speech.

If I dont care or am offended by a comedians jokes I just won't follow or support him/her. Its that simple. Some people look for things to get offended by just to give them an excuse to lash out.
