"Let's just hope that no American judge is stupid enough to allow one of these cases in his or her court."
I'll bet you a cup of coffee we have a liberal judge here in Texas that would rule the same way...
There's no cause of action in Texas, to the best of my knowledge, that allows a minor to sue a parent over "unfair" consequences.
Let's say that this somehow got before a judge anyway. I'm sure you know that judges in TX are elected. One of the benefits of electing judges is that a judge who made a ruling like this would be booted off the bench the next election, guaranteed.
Add not allowing a child outside for prolonged periods of time. Where I live, Children & Youth Services requires parents to allow children to go outside into the yard and on short walks when grounded. Of course, they don't impose these requirements on all parents, but they do intervene for children who are 'eternally' grounded because eternal grounding is child abuse. But this newstory sounds like a normal grounding.
Yes...a normal grounding. Something that parents have a RIGHT to do and an OBLIGATION actually (to impose some punishment).
Failing to impose punishments for misbehavior (and especially for DANGEROUS behavior like this girl engaged in) is far more neglectful and "abusive" than grounding her for 3 years would be.

" booted off the bench the next election, guaranteed. "
The same liberals would re-elect him thinking what a great job he did..
