Parental supervision gone overboard or justification for action? This boy's mother took matters into her own hands and faces a court date for her trouble. In any case I don't think she will be receiving any roses for Mother's Day this year.


In his handwritten complaint to prosecutors, Lane New wrote "Denise first hacked my Facebook and changed my password. She also changed the password to my e-mail so I could not change it. She posted things that involve slander and personal facts about my life."

What do you mean? I see the same mechanisms running in the back. If you mean the destruction of the family as an institution in order to control human kind as a plausible effect then yes, by all means. There are people stupid enough for this.

Now I hope this serves those of you who have no experience with girls. THIS IS THE REASON WHY WOMEN ARE BITCHY TO WUSSES.

This probably was a party girl someday and now that she's getting back on track see how life is paying.

I can only hope the better for her and sure hope that piece of scumbag gets his ass kicked on the streets.

Yeah except she isn't the legal guardian of him, so essentially she is nothing to him other than what he wants from her. His grandparents are the legal guardians.

As such she had no rights to mess with his stuff, regardless of what he was posting on his facebook. Which seemed to be just stuff that she didn't like.

Tough shit. She sounds like a crazy control freak .. she exhibits many of the psychotic characteristics I've seen in some of my friends' parents.

I dunno how much different it is in texas from here in ontario, Canada, but most of my friends are on good terms with their parents, have them on facebook half the time and they let them do whatever they want within reason.

One thing not within reason is fucking around in a car. You don't speed, you don't pull that stupid shit or your ass is grass.

Partying, drinking, Coming in at 3am to go out again on a mcdonalds run is ALL fair game. Endangering people would be grounds for getting yourself embarassed in front of your friends. Far better punishment than a grounding.

Regardless, she is not his guardian and has no say over him. As such she had no right to do these things.

I don't disagree speeding is dangerous, but it really depends on your roads too.

Down here we have some speed limits up to 75-80. 90 isn't much over some of our speed limits.

Being a mature adult is about handling situations in a proper and grown up manner.

Getting on his account and posting crap on it to his friends badmouthing him, and then changing the password/email so he can't get access to his account........

...hardly seems like an adult way to handle things.

Keep in mind this woman bad mouthed her son to the entire internet and his friends, has a history of mental health issues, hasn't had custody of him since he was a small kid...

Look at the picture in the perspective frame, her actions seem far more out of reason than a kid going 10-20mph over a speed limit for being angry at a girl..
 
If it's spoken, it's slander. If it's written, it's LIBEL.
 
She is his Mother period. SHE has the right to punish him. I would have hated to see what either one of my parents would have done! Trust me I would still be sore and regretting doing something they didn't like. Hell I'm 39 and would still get smacked if I'm out of line. I really mean that too! I guess that is why I work hard, respect my elders, pay my own bills, and don't think "The Man is out to get me."
 
She pwn3d him, made him look like a n00b. Seriously she knew his password to his facebook and email and changed them both. He = Fail.
 
It sounds like the boy has some momma drama going on and mom still tries to call the shots. There is alot more going on with the mom and son. No mother gives her kids up unless she is really unfit because she wasnt taking care of him. If you give up your parental right as a parent and grandma, realtives or an adult becomes legal guardian momma has no parental/legal right to punish her biological kid.
 
Well he's only 16 right? She should just ship the kid to a military school and be done with him. He's obviously a waste of humanity, so get rid of him.
 
i think were seeing the nanny-state effect trickle down to this generation's teens. i have never seen so many conceited kids... everyone is entitled to everything and if youre over 25, youre old! :rolleyes:
 
As others have pointed out, she wasn't his guardian, but I suspect she might be in some trouble even if she was, assuming her posts were libelous. On that front, however, we don't have enough information, since the article didn't discuss the contents of the posts. Yes, the mother said they were not a big deal, but she could be lying.
 
For those saying what she should do... she gave up her parental rights when she gave over guardianship. At this point she should be treated exactly like a neighbor who did this. If you neighbor walked in, locked out your facebook and email accounts and made their own posts on your facebook.... would you be all "well good for her" ???
 
I'm surprised this even made the news with all the other shit in the world that is going on...who cares?

I think you need to RTFA, his mother has lost parental rights, and the son does not live with her, and is in custody of his grandmother.

he was well within his rights to charge her for what she did. she has lost the right to make parental decisions on his behalf, and therefor what she did is illegal .

not only slander, but since she was using digital credentials that were not her own, she technically is in violation of the computer fraud and abuse act.
 
How about you people actually read before posting? There seriously need to be infractions given out to people who obviously don't read the articles before posting their ill-formed opinion.
 
oh and I forgot to mention, I read the article, and anyone taking up for the kid is just as warped as he is to think it is right to sue his mom because he is too fucking stupid to log off facebook and is too stupid not to post potentially illegal/dangerous activities.

So if a friend of yours does this to you and posts seriously heinous things would you be angry?

You can't say because he didn't secure it crazy like that she has the right to do this shit.


Seriously, some of you people are morons.

stupidity has nothing to do with the law. the laws are rules that are not subject to change just because the kid was dumb. did his mom have the social right to mess with his facebook? maybe, we dont have enough facts from the article to know. did she have the legal right to mess with his facebook? absolutely not as she had no legal rights over him. its not like we're siding with the idiot kid, we're siding with the law. you need to understand that whats socially correct and whats legal are two very different things. fortunately/unfortunately, when you SUE and go to COURT the judge and jury only care about LEGAL implications, not SOCIAL implications.

This.
Wether or not the kid is an asshat, she broke several laws doing what she did. As someone else siad - side with the law, not the kid or estranged mom
 
socially correct is bullshit.

That is his mom, she felt 5 years ago that living with his grandparents was for the best, so she gave them custody.

That is still his mom. He was bragging about doing illegal/dangerous stuff on his facebook and he left it up and he got his ass bit for being stupid.

It's not society's job to even get involved in this. Someone needs to punch that kid in the fave so the little twat learns a lesson. He learns nothing from this if his mom gets in trouble for trying to discipline him.

In real a socially conscience society(lol) the courts would be charging him with the speeding and putting the little shit into therapy and making him do community service for being a doucher and clogging the courts with his childish bullshit.
 
and it's not the estranged mom, jesus christ, she gave the kid up because of the divorce and she felt she wasn't the best place for him.

She did the right thing for him 5 years ago because she actually sounds like a responsible parent.

It's a hard thing to admit you aren't the best place for your own kid, she isn't a psycho for doing that, stop labeling her a nut case.

they kid is an asshat, that is his mom. Who cares who he lives with? That's his mom. The state didn't take him from her, she gave him up because it was the right thing to do in her head. Stop vilifying her like she is some nutcase drooler.

Posting that you drove in excess of the speed limit because you are mad at a girl is bragging? Your reading comprehension needs some work.

His mom has no legal right to discipline him, so the same could be said about her by your logic.

It's society's job to uphold our laws, she broke our laws. Regardless of whether or not you agree to those laws, she agreed to abide by them by living where she does.

It really bothers me that people think courts and police officers should just look the other way because they don't agree with the laws.

Just because you have a bias opinion of someone you've never met does not mean you get to decide whether or not she violated our laws. With the facts we were given, she violated law.

Did he? Sounds like it, depending upon the area and the circumstances of him speeding. Do I condone that? No.

Just because he did something illegal and foolish doesn't mean she gets off the hook for doing something equally as illegal and foolish.
 
"He left it logged in on my computer," she said. "It's not like I stole his laptop."

It's open season on anyone that uses someone else's PC and doesn't logoff.

Anyway the court is most likely going to favor the mother for being responsible. She was not forced to lose custody, which favors for her. If she's the biological mother (can't assume these days) she could easily get custody back anyway.
