I think that this story has opened my eyes of how some children are so spoiled and misunderstanding these days. When a little girl of 12 years old is capable of sewing her father for not making her go on a field trip it shows us that the acknowledgement of the authority is rapidly decreasing. Just starting out with the fact that the court accepted to take into consideration this situation proves that the authority of parents is decreasing. Parents play a very important role to children when they are young, they are responsible of teaching the kids what is right and wrong and teach them the good values in life. Yes, sometimes kids will not always do what is right but that is when the parent steps in and makes their kids learn from their mistake, by telling them what should be done next time and punishing them to show them that things should get out of hand and they shouldn’t do it again or else they won’t get away with it. It is not the same as when we are older because that is when we are more experienced and we can learn by our mistakes.

In this case the mom shouldn’t have been so selfish and just cared about the money but she should look at how ridiculous she is by encouraging her daughter to take her father to court for restricting her from going on a field trip. She should have talked it over with the father and figured out a different solution. This case has already been approved twice imagine the things it would do to society if it gets approved a third time which is at a high risk of happening. In life every child needs rules and restrictions to follow it would become a chaos, things would get out of hand and it’s no longer going to be the parents controlling their kids it will be the kids having their parents wrapped around their little finger. The only way the children will be able to learn from their mistakes is by confronting the consequences. The mother was acting childish herself in not following then father’s decisions, and it is not restriction of attending a field trio that will damage the kid psychologically it will be her getting stuck in the middle of her parents’ divorce.
