Basically a version of: "Mom sues school district for secretly using child's preferred nickname." -- Parent's don't own their child's identity.
What is the standing here? How does this lady claim any form of harm?
In the US, children are treated as property and that’s where standing will come from. This is what people mean when they refer to parent’s rights.
The standing would be that the parent is legally responsible for the minor.
Public schools should not be keeping secrets from parents.
So if a child told their teacher that they were being abused at home, you think they should call the parent and tell them what the child said?
They should call the police.
I agree. Probably should keep that a secret from the parents, though, right?
They already know surely.
Your example is a crime. Hiding your child's mental health from you, pretending you are some grand intermediary, probably should be too.
Oh. I misunderstood.
I thought I could relate to your innate desire to protect children, but you're only worried about people fucking with other people's "property".
I don't want to delve any deeper into that cesspool you call a mind.
