The Court Rules the World

Check out this article about a New Zealand judge who decided to make a 9yo girl a ward of the state just so he could change her name. He was tired of parents naming their children weird names, so he took action.

Here's a quote:

"The court is profoundly concerned about the very poor judgment which this child's parents have shown in choosing this name," he wrote. "It makes a fool of the child and sets her up with a social disability and handicap, unnecessarily."

The parents have every right to name their child whatever they want, no matter how ridiculous or socially upsetting it may be. Parents make stupid choices everyday that result from poor judgement. That doesn't mean that we need the court to step in and correct our problems.

This kind of thing is going to be more prevalent as the rights of the child become more important than the rights of parents. We are headed closer and closer to becoming like liberal Europe where society decides what is right for children, not their parents.
